Alpine Shelter Skuta
The extreme climatic
conditions in the mountains introduce a design challenge for architects,
engineers and designers. Within a context of extreme risk to environmental
forces, it is important to design buildings that can withstand extreme weather,
radical temperature shifts, and rugged terrain. Responding to environmental
conditions is not only a protective measure, but also translates into a matter
of immediate life safety. The harsh conditions of wind, snow, landslides,
terrain, and weather require a response of specific architectural forms and
conceptual designs.
