the construction of 'aluminum ring house 3' by atelier tekuto is progressing smoothly
and its due to completed in late july. unlike 'aluminum ring house 1' and 'branching coral
(aluminum ring house 2)' where the building was based on a wooden structure with
installed aluminum rings that also functions as radiators, lighting fixtures and partitions,
'aluminum ring house 3' is fully based on a structure made of aluminum except for its
basement. it has more ecological approaches such as circulating solar energy from sunlight
and geothermal heat through aluminum rings in order to achieve zero running costs.

great eco-design, shame aluminium is such an energy intensive material!!!
still great to see zero running costs and integration of wise energy tehcniques like roof garden, thermal control and evaporative green curtains
