The Warming Huts competition called for a collaboration between artists, architects and designers to put forward ideas for shelter and to be constructed along the Assiniboine River in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. Noa Biran and Roy Talman submitted the Woodpile, an interactive and practical shelter, that responds to both the needs required by the climate and its users.

Check out this installation designed by Noa Biran and Roy Talmon for the Timing 2010 – Bat Yam Biennale of Landscape Urbanism. The Biennale is a reaction to existing municipal infrastructure projects, whose long periods of construction disrupt the communities while waiting for ‘a better future.’ The participants were asked to takes these disruptive events and transform them into opportunities for improvement. Biran and Talmon design a new type of fence that replaces the standard corrugated fence on construction sites. This new fence is comprised of different operable sections of recycled plastic shutters that can be open or closed to form an ever-changing façade.
