A rooftop structure design for local environmental and political conditions in Aguascalientes, Peru.
The project is a refinement of an existing four storey building with unfinished roof structure and exposed rebars. Due to the local tax system, home or business owners tend to leave the top level unfinished to reduce tax amount; causing unpleasant sceneries and increasing danger to both inhabitants and pedestrians. This project is located directly next to the bus station for Machu Picchu, one of the most populated site in the town, serving a purpose to demonstrate a low-cost and flexible roof design for the local authorities.
