Design Concept

This building is based on a Metabolic Architecture of Cell. It is also a Ring Architecture (Loop Architecture) of circulation.
Architecture of no-center is another manifesto of the “Age of Life.”
The origins of Japanese leisure activities were pilgrimages and excursion trips. Travel and recreation are related to religion, pleasure and romance. This plan signifies architecture for travelers. People move around inside the center which is filled with entertainment facilities.
