Keeping river ice through summer
Harbin’s cross-season ice storage uses insulating layers, shade and maintenance to carry river ice into a later festival.
Insulation, shade and regular maintenance preserve blocks of river ice through the warmer months. The work carries one winter’s harvest into the next building season, extending the life of the material before construction begins again.
