"invokes the concept of an overgrown ruin"

via dezeen:

Informed by "stepped pyramids of the region's ancient history", the building is made of interconnected cubic volumes, pockmarked with terraces, wooden shutters, glazing and exposed open, structure.

"Our approach to breaking down the overall volume of the building involves setting back terraces at irregular intervals and across different levels," said Sordo Madaleno.

"This deliberated design choice enhances the permeability of the essentially rectilinear structure, allowing it to be seamlessly integrated into the surrounding nature. The studied informality of this approach invokes the concept of an overgrown ruin."

project nu-shed, heatdome fence construction edition

The old little green shed is now completely felled, it being finally now only because the last wall was serving dual purpose as a fence panel and I hadn't figured out a solution until last night: build my own custom panel. Made sure dogchildren were inside so as to prevent fence-hole escape, tore out the rest of the floorboards, brought down the final wall (not hard when most of the beams were rotten), and built the new fence, picket by picket. Leveling of the tops will take place eventually; for now, we hydrate.
