By
Amy Peacock
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
Dutch architecture studio MVRDV has unveiled designs for a rock-shaped visitor center called Nature Rocks in Taiwan's Kenting National Park. The project, developed in collaboration with Taiwanese firm HWC Architects, features a series of buildings designed to blend into the coastal landscape of Jialeshui. The design was selected as the winning entry by the Pingtung County Government and aims to create a tourist center that harmonizes with its natural surroundings through organic, rock-like forms.
