Murky Waters2024|Winnipeg,MB,CanadaA winning entry to the 2024 Warming Huts competition hosted by The Forks, Murky Waters situates a pavilion in the form of a catfish skeleton on the frozen surface of
the Assiniboine River. The design is comprised of an
occupiable skull that provides visitors a space to catch their breath and retie their skates out of the wind, a series of ribs connected by a thick rope spine, and a boney tail, its base merged into another bench. The presence of the catfish on the river’s surface aims to provide a reminder of the ecologies humans are entangled with throughout our different cultures and contexts.
