Is it just us, or is it getting cold out there? After an unseasonably warm autumn in many parts of the world, it seems that one of Game of Thrones<\/i>\u2019 favorite catchphrases<\/a> finally has a ring of truth about it: winter is coming. As temperatures continue to drop across the northern hemisphere, it shouldn\u2019t be long until cities from New York to London are transformed into a winter wonderland.<\/p>\n

While this weather can prove troublesome for some buildings \u2014 see Frank Gehry\u2019s Stata Center at MIT<\/a>, where ice and snow piled precariously upon swooping canopies \u2014 other projects are designed with wintry conditions firmly in mind. We\u2019ve gathered together a striking set of hardy projects from around the world, each of which earned a place on the shortlist for Architizer\u2019s A+Awards<\/a> over the past three years. Wrap up warm and explore these steadfast structures over a warm cup of coffee:<\/p>\n
