Four, Ice Bar

This is a slightly unusual choice for an architectural space but as a space I have experienced personally I feel that it is worth mention for its relationship to the other references. The concept of this cold environment exerts a very obvious physical control over its temporary inhabitants.

'ABSOLUT ICEBAR LONDON is the UK's only permanent bar made of ice and is kept at minus 5 degress all year round. Everything inside is made out of crystal clear ice harvested especially from the frozen Torne River in Jukkasjarvi, Northern Sweden.
ABSOLUT ICEBAR is operated in 40 minute time slots and you will be given a designer thermal cape with a hood to keep you warm during your visit.'
