Warming Huts, an open competition supported by the Manitoba Association of Architects, is now open for submissions for 2019. Started in 2009, this competition has been melding world-class design and art with Winnipeg's famous winters.
A blind jury selects designs that best "push the envelope of design, craft and art." Nearing the end of January, competition winners travel to Winnipeg to begin construction on their warming hut. The weeklong building blitz gives designers a chance to watch their vision come to life while allowing the public to watch them at work.
Warming huts are then brought out to the Red River Mutual Trail for visitors to skate to, interact with, and enjoy until the end of the skating season.
The deadline for submissions is October 2, 2018.
