Bubbletecture H, Japan, by Shuhei Endo (scroll down for more)
This visitor centre and learning facility, a couple of hours outside Osaka, has theatre, library and workshop spaces in its three main volumes. The result of Endo's ongoing experimentations with bubble-shaped forms, it is clad in oxidised steel on a Japanese cedar wood frame, and is partly planted with moss to blend in with the nearby landscape.
