The 2022 RAIC International Prize has been awarded to The Warming Huts, Winnipeg, Manitoba. The architecture firm behind the project is Sputnik Architecture Inc. The consulting team includes consulting team that includes Crosier, Kilgour & Partners, specialist consultant Luca Roncoroni, the Forks Renewal Corporation, and a host of other collaborators.
The Warming Huts are the product of a recurring exercise in design and construction that takes place on the frozen rivers of Winnipeg every winter. Playful but significant as works of architecture, they have been created over more than a decade with the support of hundreds of collaborators, both local and international.
