glass pavillion in Toledo, Ohio, designed by Japanses architect, Kazuo Sejima. This is very simple building, but detail is amazing. Curved glass doesn't look big deal, but most of interior wall are glass. I didn't check its structure, but I can guess that two or three opaque spaces, covered by gypsum board, might have columns inside. And, you can see thin white steel column in the picture. Actually, the columns disappear.
The most impressive thing in my opinion is layered glass walls. Light is reflected and fracover and over thru glass walls, which makes fantastic atmosphere in the building.
Simplicity and clearness. This building shows the definition of japenese architectural design.
