Origami-inspired architecture brings diamond lattices to Tokyo's shopping district

Origami-inspired architecture brings diamond lattices to Tokyo's shopping district

This lacy façade is made from 5,315 aluminium panels, capable of sliding on hidden rails. It's the frontage of Ginza Place, on a corner of Ginza Crossing, Tokyo's equivalent of Times Square. Tokyo-based architects Klein Dytham won a competition to redevelop the 7,350-square-metre former beer hall, now home to Nissan Crossing, in 2012.

That almost looks like basket weaving! I am a huge fan of buildings that have character and art. It is likely one of the major reasons so many people are brought to Tokyo to begin with. Everything looks like a work of art! This one is no different. I like they stuck with white as well. It stands out more in the color splashed area.
