Entry Description

This building is composed by many lattices and folds, hence we have named it “Ori”. “Ori" means to weave in Japanese.
A play of lights and shadows flows through the grid, creating interesting and beautiful patterns. This composition is not only design, but also the structure itself. In addition, big and small windows of various shapes add even more uniqueness to the character of this building.
“Ori”s folded grid creates a series of spaces which express a feeling of modern Japanese Zen.
