Japan is known as a country with many earthquakes even if it is viewed worldwide.
Under such circumstances, advanced structural calculation is necessary to create minimalism building.
It is a very simple concept of floating a light roof on a robust concrete box, but this architecture has been established by collaborating with excellent engineers.
And it can be said that this space has acquired purity as an advanced architectural space by its simplicity.
Japan is known as a country with many earthquakes, but pillars structurally slimmed to the limit are based on close structural calculations.
Especially because it is an area with a lot of snow, its calculation is very carefully made.
It is said that this space is sublimating to the finest one as a building space by the extremely simple concept of floating a light roof on a robust concrete box.
