Overview

Subterranean Ruins intentionally prioritizes the lush green surroundings than that of its made elements, almost being non existent. This deliberate choice enhances the depth and vitality of the photographs, as the structure appears to emerge from the landscape. With a conscious effort to maintain a minimal footprint, the design emphasizes the importance of its context. The various levels of the structure celebrate the unique terrain, resulting in the creation of intriguing spaces such as caves and open courts. These elements not only add visual interest but also foster a dynamic interplay between the built and unbuilt environment.
