The Icehouse Architect (Part 1: The body can hold what we need to rebuild) tells a story of an individual who has discovered a new method of re-building after the permafrost, the sea ice, and the glaciers have melted. It is Subtraction-Method: rather than creating something new in the building process, the building happens when she takes something away. She travels the earth collecting the heat in her body, and as she does so, the ice formations begin to rebuild.
