Triangular introduces its corrugated steel-clad forest house in patagonia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When it comes to materiality, the design team opted for a metallic cladding with the allegory of a burned log, where the bark protects its body.

Like a steel ribbon, volcano-in visitor center by PLAT ASIA undulates over steppe in china<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The design concept is based on positioning the volcano as the dominant formal reference. The architecture follows the existing topography through a curved roof structure and three circular volumes arranged at varying elevations. Together, these elements outline a conical silhouette that echoes the geometry of the volcanic landform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
