is the surface wood or concrete? from a distance it looks like concrete but up close it looks like wood. maybe they cast the concrete to have wood texture as to blend in with the natural environment more. japanese designers are so conscious of the environment. taiwanese architects need to learn this aspect especially when designing for national parks like sun moon lake.
