I wanted to share a fun project i was involved with recently. A gallery owner and a group of chefs designed a pop up restaurant on the frozen river in Winnipeg (it was -40 when we put it up last week). It's scaffolding, tarps, birch logs, (faux) fur, and a single 20' long table, and not much else. Cold weather makes one do crazy things apparently!
I would have posted as my real name when I made this entry, I just finally figured that out. Oops, there goes the anonymity!</p>
This is (sort of) part of a larger annual winter project aimed at making architecture on the frozen river. This is the only restaurant, but you can check out some of the other projects here: http://www.warminghuts.com/
It's tube scaffolding (aluminum). And yes, very very cold when we put it up, in fact it was the coldest week in 2 years, regularly dipping below -40.
Exterior shots are coming soon, i'll post a link when they're available. Thanks for the interest!

This is beautiful!
I'm curious as to the type of scaffolding used for the structure.
I enjoy the raw, rustic appearance of this. Any shots from the outside?
This looks great, but wasn't it cold?
