At a glance they are charming structures, nestled among pines and birches, with painted, weathered, or whitewashed boards. Even the water closet of the great architect, Eliel Saarinen, is featured.

Høyer has produced a remarkable body of work, brought together here in its full scope for the first time. The built work, such as the mound of lights at Esbjerg, is well known. His built landscapes, proposals, installations, drawings, photographs, montages, and models - all are threads in the same fabric of investigation. Drawing from methods of art and design, he explores questions about the nature of space and mind and the processes, human and non-human, that shape both. There is an emerging international discussion on the practice of art and design as a form of research. This volume is a superb contribution to that global dialogue.

An infinite number of miniscule ice crystals, each one unique and beautiful, together form the snow and clear ice which constitute every detail of the world’s largest igloo, and the only igloo-hotel. The Icehotel draws visitors not only for the unique experience of living in a luxurious, exquisitely designed hotel of ice. It also invites visitors to encounter an extraordinary region where three cultures coexist – the Sami, the Finnish, and the Swedish, 200 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle in Jukkasjärvi, Sweden. The mesmerizing visuals in this book will surely tempt you to visit yourself – to explore the fabulous art created by the world’s finest ice sculptors, to bask in the bright rays of the Midnight Sun, to lounge in the Absolut Ice Bar, or even to get married in the ice chapel.
