The “Resort” of Saint Petersburg is a perfect example to incorporate the structure of a building with its surrounding environment.
structure model
The building creates a recognizable silhouette in the boundary of the city.
The shape of the construction equals an artificial landscape. With its different undulations the membrane equals mountains that accrete and accumulate the snow, which is omnipresent in the city.
The white roof cover of the building shows a contrast to the colours and materials of whole complex.

very nice.inspiring.congratulations.
censor, thank you
I know there are a lot of progressive young people in Rusiisa and in St.Petersburg. I am wondering where are they? why they dont protest or try to resist to this overwhelming stream of architecture in the hands of absolutely hegemonic capitalists of their country and Europe? why we dont here a voice against these unhuman developments which will have devastating effects on their already ultra polarised cities.
WHERE ARE YOU ?????
