Mathieu Forest Architecte and Zone of Utopia help and unveil the multifaceted nature of ice structure. The 2 Paris-based studios have created an “city indicator” for the cultural tourism middle in Xinxiang, China, to deliver together this new vacationer district, which can be dedicated to winter sports. Greater than a building, Ice Cubes, to be inbuilt 2021, seems like a monumental sculpture. These 9 ice cubes, every 17 meters high, are superimposed and deliberately offset.
The glass texture is made from tangled translucent ice crystals that filter the light and the imaginative and prescient on the interior. The patterned glass and metal create this opaque appearance, also allowing the building to vary hues: pristine white in daylight, vaporous on cloudy days, frosted underneath sure lights. The architects additionally play with the metaphor of water: from the liquid of a lake to the strong physique of ice, by way of the nebulous and diaphanous environment of the landscape.
Ice Cubes is thus defined as “a spot of delight and contemplation,” doubling as “a visible experience” as a result of its facet modifications in line with the place the visitor is. A singular architectural design with a “Sky Lounge” on the prime for a 360-degree view.
