WINTER STUDIO 2014: The Sweat Lodge
After the polar vortex blizzard shut down day one, the +FARM winter studio team successfully designed, fabricated, and constructed a 7 person sweat lodge in 3-1/2 days. Even with the late start, and a Saturday rain storm the crew shed their cumbersome cloaks for a little summer skin to sweat it out! The project rightfully named: SoftCore-HardForm, was based on the concept of a hard knife exterior to cut wind and snow loads on the structure while gently wrapping the body with a warm soft interior.
