QUEBEC WINTER CARNAVAL - ICE PALACE
-
Some of you have already seen these project on the old forum.
Since we have started the construction of the Ice Palace last January 2, I told myself that it might be interesting to show you these new images. I’ll send more pictures once construction will be complete.
The design concept of this site, including the Ice Palace, the construction details of the roofs, kiosks, fences, etc. were realized with Sketchup. I use Sketchup for the development of many of our new projects.
To return to the Ice Palace construction, we will use 270 tons of ice(7000 blocks 75 pounds). We had planned 4 weeks of work to built the ice palace but the temperatures above the freezing point at the beginning of January, have delayed the construction for a week. The entire site must be ready for February 1st, at the Carnaval opening ceremony.
To be continued
