Bruno Cappelletti

Bruno Capelletti is an italian sculptor that uses wood or marble to make his sculpture but also he uses Ice.

Ice’s Sculpture is not a permanent artwork, but it has a short life.

The construction of ice Macugnaga, despite the criticism of the usual ill-informed, will be at almost no cost to the coffers of the municipality. Will instead be the tourist districtof the Lakes and Valleys, and the Province of Verbano Cusio Ossola to fund the project.

Dr. Antonio Longo Dorn, President of the District, during a press conferenceconvened by the Mayor of Macugnaga, Giovanni Boldini, he passionately explainedthe reasons for this effort, highlighting the promotional boost that this type of project to the area.

Longodorni also stressed that this year will be only the experimental realization of amuch more demanding, which will arise next winter, just Macugnaga, the first ItalianIce Hotel. For the latter, "building" is intended to move well 700/800 tons of snow and ice.

ice hotel sweden

This Swedish Hotel is totally made of ice

The water used to create this structure is taken from a lake close to the city of Kiruna in the north of Sweden, above the polar circle.

During the winter the lake gets completely frozen and the ice is used as bricks to build this structure.

When the days start getting longer and warmer, the ice used for the structure starts melting and the whole building disappears in water again. The building is now completely transformed in water and this water goes again to the basin of the lake.

Each year there is a competition (call) to decide who the new architect to build this structure is going to be. They also allow students and young artists to design the interiors of the several rooms and areas of this hotel.

It is like a small city of ice... Apart the hotel itself they also build the church and the museum and some other areas in order to live in a whole different city made of ice each year.

Liquid Gold

Every day, we urinate nutrients that can fertilize plants that could be used for beautiful landscapes, food, fuel, and fiber. Instead, these nutrients are flushed away, either to be treated at high cost or discharged to waters where they overfertilize and choke off aquatic life.

Liquid Gold: The Lore and Logic of Using Urine to Grow Plants tells you how urine—which contains most of the nutrients in domestic wastewater and usually carries no disease risk—can be utilized as a resource. Starting with a short history of urine use—from ritual to medicinal to even culinary—and a look at some unexpected urinals, Liquid Gold shows how urine is used worldwide to grow food and landscapes, while protecting the environment, saving its users the cost of fertilizer, and reconnecting people to the land and the nutrient cycles that sustain them. That’s real flower power!

SOLID LIQUID_myth citation

"Golden Bough"

SOLID

-"It was they, as he now believed, and not he himself, who made the stormy wind to blow, the lightning to flash, and the thunder to roll; who had laid the foundations of the solid earth and set bounds to the restless sea that it might not pass..."

-"but we do not know in what manner its members exercised a useful function, which probably earned for them a more solid recompense than mere repute among the seafaring population of the isthmus."

-"being hidebound by the trammels of a pedantic logic. In attempting to track his devious thought through the jungle of crass ignorance and blind fear, we must always remember that we are treading enchanted ground, and must beware of taking for solid realities the cloudy shapes that cross our path or hover and gibber at us through the gloom."

-"They too, like so much that to common eyes seems solid, may melt into air, into thin air."

-"On the one hand, the people have to thank him for the rain and sunshine which foster the fruits of the earth, for the wind which brings ships to their coasts, and even for the solid ground beneath their feet."

LIQUID

-"Thus we are told of these people that “there is hardly a native who would dare to swallow a liquid without first conjuring the spirits."

-"Again, Servian and Bulgarian women who chafe at the restraints of domestic life will take the copper coins from the eyes of a corpse, wash them in wine or water, and give the liquid to their husbands to drink."

 "The birth of Venus"

The story of Venus' birth, borrowed directly from the Greeks, explains that she arose from the foam of the sea shore. This miraculous creation resulted after Saturn castrated his tyrant father, the supreme sky god Caelus (equivalent to the Greek Uranus).

After Saturn had sliced off Caelus' genitals, he promptly threw them into the sea. As the genitals drifted over the water, the blood and (or, in some versions, the semen) that issued forth from the severed flesh mixed with the sea water to foment the growth of the child who would become Venus.

"Myth of Dafne"

According to Greek myth, Apollo chased the nymph Daphne (Greek: Δάφνη, meaning "laurel"), daughter either of Peneus and Creusa in Thessaly, or of the river Ladon in Arcadia. The pursuit of a local nymph by an Olympian god, part of the archaic adjustment of religious cult in Greece, was given an arch anecdotal turn in Ovid's Metamorphoses, where the god's infatuation was caused by an arrow from Eros, who wanted to make Apollo pay for making fun of his archery skills and to demonstrate the power of love's arrow. Ovid treats the encounter, Apollo's lapse of majesty, in the mode of elegiac lovers, and expands the pursuit into a series of speeches. According to the rendering Daphne prays for help either to the river god Peneus or to Gaia, and is transformed into a laurel (Laurus nobilis): "a heavy numbness seized her limbs, thin bark closed over her breast, her hair turned into leaves, her arms into branches, her feet so swift a moment ago stuck fast in slow-growing roots, her face was lost in the canopy. Only her shining beauty was left." "Why should she wish to escape? Because she is Artemis Daphnaia, the god's sister," observed the Freudian anthropologist Géza Róheim, and Joseph Fontenrose concurs; baldly stating such a one-to-one identity doubtless oversimplifies the picture: "the equation of Artemis and Daphne in the transformation myth itself clearly cannot work", observes Lightfoot. The laurel became sacred to Apollo, and crowned the victors at the Pythian Games. Most artistic impressions of the myth focus on the moment of transformation.

THALES OF MILETUS

Heraclitus Homericus states that Thales drew his conclusion from seeing moist substance turn into air, slime and earth. It seems likely that Thales viewed the Earth as solidifying from the water on which it floated and which surrounded Ocean.
