Red Rock National Conservation Area
United States of America
The Red Rock Canyon is drawing ever larger crowds, making it necessary to build a dedicated visitor centre. On this project, a jumble of red fair-faced concrete elements catches the eye. Eleven walls, all of different heights, are nested inside one another.
