Warming Hut Designs by Frank Gehry and Others Unveiled
The Forks, Winnipeg – Join us as five new one-of-a-kind warming huts are unveiled.
Friday, November 18
10:00 am
The Inn at the Forks, Current Lounge
The Forks
This year five new huts will grace the river trail: three coming from an international competition, one from a separate student competition at the University of Manitoba and the third from world renowned invited architect, Frank Gehry.
Frank Gehry, the designer behind Spain's Guggenheim Museum, the Dancing House in Prague, The Experience Music Project in Seattle, the Cinematheque francaise in Paris and many others accepted an invitation to design a humble warming hut to be built in early January, weather permitting.
The competition component, supported in part by the Manitoba Association of Architects and the Inn at the Forks, was announced September 2011. Proposals for the competition were all submitted online at www.warminghuts.com. The jury, comprised of last years’ participants have selected the designs that best “push the envelope of design, craft and art.”
Note to editors/directors: Members of the jury will be available for interviews. Design images will be shown at the media conference and available digitally afterwards.
