Course detail

Integrateion of structures to landscape

FAST-AR51Acad. year: 2013/2014

Design of a structure is only a part of system of activities leading to final and successful realization of a structure. After finishing building activities it is very important to integrate the structure to the environment. The structure should naturally merge with the surrounding. Despite the structure shape, the terrain adjustment might significantly help in this effort.
