JIA Kinki U-40 Architectural Design Competition, Mt. Rokko, Hyogo, Japan
 
    The project is the proposal for the competition designing an observation platform and a mountain lodge on the peak of Mt. Rokko. The project proposes an easily-constructed angled structure divided into grids which extends contours of the mountain slope: easily-replaceable slabs fixed with studs accommodate to temporally changing inside programs. The tower containing an elevator, a restroom, a office is distinguished from surrounding garden and terrace by the presence and absence of light.
