Repeated Frames Beside the Building

The steel frame of this membrane carport in Xinmi, Zhengzhou follows the outside wall of an existing building. Columns are installed close to the wall, with arms projecting into the courtyard and a longitudinal tube joining their outer ends. Repeated frames extend along the building, alongside its windows and exterior services, above the existing hardstanding.
