The Kissing booth is\u00a0a progressive warming hut for the Assiniboine River & Winnipeg designed by\u00a0<\/strong>Shane Neufeld<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Kevin Kunstadt<\/a>\u00a0have worked together to create Kissing Booth, a progressive warming hut for the Assiniboine River and Winnipeg.<\/p>\n

The design presents an alternative concept for the warming hut: it offers a hut-space which interacts with and is activated by the skaters and the skate path. The design consists of two distinct surfaces \u2014 the ground plane, and the path edge\/wall \u2013 that torque and kiss at their\u00a0centre\u00a0 This moment of charged contact is at once the peak of their rotation, the spot where their function as a warming hut is realized (in the form of a wall and a roof), and the hut\u2019s structural apex.<\/p>\n

The surfaces \u2013which frame the skate path \u2014 rotate in response to the trajectory of the skater as they move from skating to sitting and back again. Further these dual surfaces are not really surfaces at all, but a series of beams which, although angular in nature suggest a complex curvature by means of a simple rotation process. The design employs the building module of dimensional lumber studs to achieve a visual play of light and shadow, motion, and ultimately shelter. The only elements which are not inherently a part of this beam-surface structure are the components of comfort for the visitor which exist at the structure\u2019s core- a bench for rest, and a window which frames the landscape. The Kissing Booth offers the visitor a dynamic skating-shelter experience.<\/p>\n
