I reread several descriptions of this project, and one fact raises slight bewilderment. The inspiration for the group of architects was the Northern Lights. I witnessed this natural wonder in Teriberka, and the shape does indeed resemble it. But, damn it, where is Thailand and where is the Northern Lights!
Colleagues from Bangkok extracted three functional solutions from this shape:
1. The white color reflects sunlight in the heat; 2. The wavy shape acts as a wind trap, maintaining a cool microclimate within open spaces; 3. The volume of the composition merges with the sky against the backdrop of mountains (unfortunately, I couldn’t find photos, but let’s take the architects' word for it);
And the main thing — the composition. I look at this little masterpiece, and my eyes rejoice: both from afar and close up. No matter how you look at it — the volume is balanced in all projections. The photogenic quality is enhanced by patches of greenery, creating an effect of purity and conceptual renders so beloved by architects. The name is justified 100%.
