The company is strong in the molding of urethane. In order to respect their merit, we put up a soft structure in which urethane came at the center.  Image Courtesy © MASAO NISHIKAWA

We applied ETFE to the outer side to cope with heat, and transparent PVC to the inside with some mesh. For the main structure of steel, we sought a robustness of a living creature, which came into being as a mesh-shaped structural system based on a latticed combination of small parts. In the interior, pieces of plywood of 25-mm-thick were put together to express a blurred space like a fractus cloud.
