Students build the highest ice tower ever

eindhoven - An international group of students, led by Eindhoven University of Technology, have built the tallest ice tower ever in China. The structure has a height of 30 meters, breaking the previous own record of the students of 21 meters.

According to the students, the tower is made of ice, reinforced with natural fibers, which is based on the shape of traditional Chinese towers and the flamenco dress. That ice was then sprayed on a huge balloon. 'We want to put this sustainable fully recyclable building material on the map as a solution for temporary constructions in cold areas, marsh missions and for events. We are now working towards the realization of ice constructions for the Olympic Winter Games to be held in China in 2022, 'says student Yaron Moonen, who is graduating from the project.
