The opportunities and images made with just a simple fountain is endless! I wonder how much preparation goes behind just one image? It’s also very witty of them to actually create iconic logos like the Coca-Cola and kawai (cute) animals like the whale, dolphin.

Japan from another dimension, tell me how not to fall in love with a country like this? Where everything is just fascinating, it’s like at every turn of a conner, you’ll never know what is there waiting to be discovered, totally like a kid in a candy store.
A country that is so bright and colourful, with it’s own distinctive flavor and style, a country watched by millions, a country that gets me excited when mentioned, a country that is on my MUST GO (again) before I die list.
I really hope that we can all save up and visit this wonderful country!
Tezuka Architects
came across this very interesting pair of architects that had the idea of a Roof House which was completed in 2001. armed with a table, chairs, a kitchen and a shower all located at the roof top and it had a ladder linked to the interior of the house.
i believe that the idea was for the family to utilize the space up on a roof since living in a ‘space constraint’ country?

and with the similar idea, a kindergarten was constructed, fuji kindergarten was built, with the idea of a roof house for 500 children and the ability to preserve the large trees, it is a playground with no boundaries and space without constraint.
the amazing thing is also within the kindergarten has no walls, so no restrictions with colleagues, no hierarchy based on position/post, even the principle has no room of it’s own. just a space at a conner thus promoting the ability to see one another, i believe this brings everyone closer too.
