Taisei designed the Yoyogi Seminer Main School building in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. It was completed in 2008.
The skyscraper is divided in half. The lower half features a hanging garden and classrooms, and the upper half is dormitories for students. The transition between these halves opens up as an open courtyard. A reinforced concrete structure frames a full-length glazing on either side.
