currently on display, the 'bloomberg pavilion', an outdoor installation designed by japanese practice akihisa hirata architecture office
will become a stage for changing exhibitions for the museum of contemporary art tokyo in japan. placed within the entrance plaza,
the construct will become a symbol for the museum. a collaborative initiative with financial information provider bloomberg,
the project intends to increase exposure to culture and art by allowing young artists and performers from the city to hold solo exhibits.
the pavilion's form is derived from the structure of a tree and intends to provide shade to the immediate area. a triangular footprint
with crisp planar walls begins to unfold at the roof plane into a series of pleats. the hyplane structure is comprised of white metal panels
in the shape of isosceles triangles. the bends create a curving wall which reflects and introduces a soft light into the interior.

To me this building is like being in nature with the way it is in constant flux in aesthetic appearance depending on the way it is lit by natural and artificial light. Its like nature in constant state of change. Like a deciduous forest.
