# Perforated Folded-Roof Architecture The Legacy ER by 5G Studio is Seriously Angled By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-08-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legacy-er References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/architecture/5g-studio-legacy-er-allen-texas-08-22-2014/) & [5gstudio](http://www.5gstudio.com/) Legacy ER is a building in Texas that serves two functions: a care facility for critical situations and an emergency room. The design brings these two separate entities together, which is symbolized by the [angular roof wrapping](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/office-in-hashima) around both of these practices. The building looks like something from the future, coming together in a sharp point at the very tip. Overall it is quite sleek, with sections for the sunlight to shine through during the day, which is important for patients undergoing extreme care. The surrounding area is very tranquil, which again is ideal for the types of people that will be going in and out of this facility. 5G Studio did a great job with this design.
