I think he meant building structurally with ice.
Geomorph, look at it as building with blocks that will be melted into each other to create one giant singular piece. Ice is about 2.6x lighter than concrete and half as strong, so lb for lb ice can be stronger - and little chance of melting or slipping at -30C. Architecturally you'll also notice the wide use of arches to further support frames.
But I get it, if I saw this Id be a bit worried to enter it, but if I saw it cast in concrete or stone I wouldn't even think.
