The aim of this study is to propose a variety of snow-scapes as our study models, which were set on Asahikawa campus at our university.We observed carefully that snow shapes on our mock-up models are changing during winter season. In connection with this study, we had an opportunity to visit some cities in Scandinavia to find further idea of life related with snow. After creating our new idea models, we tried a wind tunnel test by using artificial snow to find snow shapes changing. As a result, we organized an exhibition in Asahikawa to introduce our proposed ideas of snow-scapes to Asahikawa citizens, in collaboration with tourism authorities there. Unexpectedly, a new snow-scape was produced, based on fusion of natural phenomenon and artificial technique.
