Mountain Impression

Backed by undulating karst mountains, this factory building draws its design language from the natural context. To the north of the site there is a bare plateau flattened by the mining of a cement factory.

The pattern of the mountain range is derived from the combination of four sets of trigonometric function curves through parametric design.

Yamate

Cascading Terraces

The development of the concept is based on two linked volumes parallel to one side of the site, in dialogue with the particular nature of the immediate context, addressing the site boundaries and movement. Responding to the orientation, views, wind direction, and the seasonal changes of the landscape, the complex opens up or closes, developing each time a different appearance, as the transition from the natural to the built environment establishes a system of visual and conceptual relationships and parameters that inherently affect the architectural space.
