Urban Resort, Sant Petersburgo
Russia, 300.000m2, First Prize International Competition, 2008
The Saint Petersburg Urban Resort is a perfect example of how to incorporate the structure of a building with it’s surrounding environment. The building creates reconcilability silhouette at the boundary of the city. The shape of the construction equals an artificial landscape, with its different ondulations where the membrane equals mountains that are able to accrete and accumulate snow, which is omnipresent and representative of the city. Meanwhile the white covered roof shows a contrast to the evolving colours and materials that enclosures the rest of the whole resort complex
