Jun Aoki designed the in Toyosaka, Niigata Japan. It was completed in 1998. The circular building expands outward as it spirals up toward the sky. The walls become clear ribbon windows. The interior core stars spiral the other direction, creating a complex didactic in circulation and structure.
The ramp rises seven floors from the bottom entrance hall, which is surrounded by wood tile roofing. Administration spaces on the second floor swirl inwards to a central room as circulation flies out to the edge of the swirl. It is a simple and elegant solution that becomes increasingly complex. |
