Acros Fukuoka International Hall - Window

Built : 1994

Emilio Ambasz transposed a nearly 100,000-square-meter park in Fukuoka City onto 15 stepped terraces, which harken back to the ancient gardens of Babylon. It is home to offices, shops and the symphony hall. The building sits on the site like a mountain and with it's selected vegetation configuration of over 76 species it celebrates the changes of the four seasons. The green roofs also capture rainwater runoff, and support the life of insects and birds.
