Canada's Ice Huts

"For the past eight years, Mr. (Richard) Johnson, who is based in Toronto, has hit the road in the winter, traveling the breadth of Canada to photograph the shelters people use for ice fishing on lakes and bays. To date, he has made it to nine of Canada’s 10 provinces."

Green Mountain Hut

Students at Green Mountain College in Poultney,Vermont, developed a shed for urban situations that addresses needs of the urban gardeners of the future. The Occupy Vacant Lots , or OVal shed. Having spent some time with both the students and faculty at the college, I appreciate their continued commitment to developing a creative approach to sustainable living

Eccentric Enclosures

An artist named Whiting Tennis constructs anthropocentric shelters and sculptures that also embody animal forms, giving the work a surreal combine quality.

This work is titled:

BOVINE, 2006 Lumber, found plywood and found objects 8.5 x 14 x 7.5 feet

I find this piece interesting in that it is less articulated, more brute, than some of his other work.

More of his work can be seen at:

Soap Box Shelter, 2011

In a project I  concieved for NEXT,  whose link is :

 http://667shotwell.com/Projects/2011/next/NEXT_issue1.pdf
 

I've combined the means of public address with a built -in shelter. The progressive steps are also symbolic of progress/ a jumping off point.   Thanks to Chris Sollars at 667 Shotwell for a great compilation of ideas in issue #1 of NEXT.
