Toshiko Mori Architect's design inverts the traditional pitched roof, creating shaded studio areas around the perimeter of a courtyard. The inversion of the roof allows for the collection and storage of rainwater in cisterns, providing a viable water reserve during the region’s eight-month dry season. Photo by Iwan Baan
