I received The Snow Show as a gift and I love it.

It documents an architectural/artistic exhibition in Lapland. Teams of two, one artist and one architect designed and built temporary structures of snow and ice.

The book is primarily comprised of color photographs of the projects. The pictures of the structures, made of snow and ice, with the sun coming through are just breath-taking. They are incredibly beautiful. At the back, each project is elaborated on: The teams, the concepts and processes, including working drawings and photographs.

The book is sooo great, I can't imagine how amazing it must have been in real life. Anyone would enjoy it, architects, artists and laypeople.

Every once in a while, a monumental art event takes place that makes us rethink what can be done to explore mans creative spirit. The Snow Show was one of those rare events that revealed a new vision. The Snow Show combined world-renowned artists and architects in a collaboral effort to create a visual delight. This show will be reflected upon for years to come. There is something almost mystical that happened when ice, light and flames were combined together. The Snow Show book presents this incredible event with beautiful photos and thoughtful narration. It is well designed and very comprehensive. I especially enjoyed the explanations and photos of how the structures were actually built. The Snow Show book is more than just an art book; it explores a beautiful idea with jaw-dropping photography. I wish I could have attended the event. This book does a superb job of recording what happened.
