John Roloff & Diller + Scofidio
John Roloff:
I fell especially attuned to working with Liz and Ric on this project. We all have a strong interest in process, materials and extending the language and the possibilities we are working with, both of architecture and art.
Diller + Scofidio:
SNOW SHOW THEMES:
1. Climate Model:
Designer Snow
Antithetical climates/reversal/gradient

Diller + Scofidio:
SNOW SHOW THEMES:
1. Climate Model:
Designer Snow
Antithetical climates/reversal/gradient
Paleo-climates
Architecture as a regulation of climate/ environmental control
Domestication of climate-without walls
2. Production/Consumption:
Self consuming/constructing structure
Self-organizing system/emergent properties
Three states of matter
3. The Normal:
Viewer as protagonist
Purest snow
Cellular interaction
Domestic struggles
MEANDERINGS:
'The Normal'/pure ice/average snow/white/ white noise visual
white noise— audible white noise white out
Designer snow hybrids:
Snow and iron filings effect with magnetic force.
Snow and seed-residue remaining is transformed in spring.
Cryogenics/Preservation:
Ice 'embedded' with foreign bodies —ice becomes critical. (potential for contamination at melting point).
Building of frozen foods.
I Acre of paradise:
Climate controlled hole in space.
Perfect rectangular swatch of clear green grass and rippling sea water kept alive and clear of ice and snow.
Tropical Island surviving in the dead of winter.
Domesticated space built out of air curtains.
Matrix of domestic freezers.
Snow making machine tethered to a snow-thrower.
Freeze dry.
Snow fountain (Bellaggio style) —spray field of snow within 80 m3 air
space while heating the ground plane so that the snow only exists as snow in an airborne state.
Drive-In Theater with aggressive ice screen.
Row of cars. Synchronized headlights create video projection. Spectacle as viewed in the comfort of well heated automobiles.
Relationship of Fins to their cell-phones, Cell-phones/saunas/vodka.
80 x 80 grid of cell-phones set on vibrate mode. Visitors call numbers to activate, excite, or stimulate snow.
Weather and climate within polítical/global
terms.
Unconquerable Nature and rituals of futility.
Daily domestic struggles with snow.
Touristic view at odds with industry (paper factory smokestacks).
Falling snow in service of optical engines industry from the view.
Bury something, design the myth about with it is or was, and imbue the site with anticipation for the big thaw.
