It is a unique creative space. This place gathers the inspiration and creativity of numerous artists, becoming a stage for them to communicate and showcase. Its clever design blends tradition and innovation, injecting new vitality into the artistic atmosphere of Shizuoka.
The four walls of the building are polished smooth like mirrors, and the interior is cleverly supported by ultra-thin steel structures. This design was inspired by the principle of catenary curves, which was jointly studied and applied by Franciscan priests and mathematician Pade. The famous Venetian architect Carlo Lodoli ingeniously applied this principle in the design of the small window sills in the corridors of the San Francesco della Vigna monastery in the 18th century, gradually narrowing the edges of the ribs and effectively transferring the load to the surrounding V-shaped columns. This design concept coincides with the market hall concept designed by Viollet le Duc in 1865. In addition, the columns also adopt a conical design, making the cross-section of the base appear particularly slender.
