This is the second building in the Aluminum House project, which aims to create an indoor environment with aluminum rings that serve as both structure and heat sink. Although it is not yet an aluminum structure, the two-story-high aluminum ring placed in the atrium functions as a radiator. The architectural form, with its two-by-two curved surfaces and three-way openings, was designed to resemble an eda coral.
