The objective of the conference was to provide a forum for engineers, architects and scientists to discuss a broad range of research and design methods for various problems related to snow engineering. Specialists in building and civil engineering, environmental engineering, energy engineering, urban planning, and regional development as well as snow scientists were brought together for the conference. The technical sessions were in five thematic areas as follows: Snow technology and science; Building and construction engineering; Infrastructure and transportation; Housing and residential planning; Development strategy in snow countries. The 115 papers provide keys to realize more comfortable living conditions in snow countries and to overcome many problems in heavy snow regions.

Today, more than ever, we need to regain a certain clarity, to re-integrate knowledge, to converge in ideas, to return to Oneness. Sacred geometry and introspective psychonautics are lost arts that we must recover. Regenerative development and systemic thinking are new approaches that we must incorporate. Thinking Reality as networks that connect nodes, and not as isolated elements in linear sequence, is the most concrete basic proposal that the reading of this book offers us. Acting generatively as a consequence will be one of the most demanding and relevant challenges of our present time. It is on this basis that the following proposal is developed: to recover lost knowledge, to incorporate it into our mental frameworks and to integrate it with the exercise of modern science and the advent of new technologies. It is time to recognize the symbolic and, at the same time, pragmatic capital that we inherited from our ancestors, and it is also time to celebrate the talent and vocation of those who today are leading disruptive development in all fields of knowledge. This proposal is not just an exercise in historical or social vindication, nor an ode to novelty for the sake of novelty, but rather promotes the key guidelines for the design of a roadmap that will allow us to identify and apply the right solutions to the multiple challenges facing our overwhelmed humanity today. This book is intended for freethinkers of all ages, of all colors and from all corners of the globe; it is a wake-up call that comes from deep within, but it is also a call to action that aims at the most universal.
