The Design

About Hoshino Jinja Светилиште

Тоа е иновативен пристап што комбинира стари и нови технологии, како што се традиционалниот јапонски градежен метод што не користи никакви метални спојници, Ишиба-градбата и пресметката на граничната јакост базирана на современа структурна анализа. Дизајнот, составен од хоризонтални и вертикални линии, е високо естетски и е опишан како привлечна структурна убавина заснована на уникатното јапонско чувство за убавина.

It is truly an epoch-making building that makes full use of traditional Japanese construction methods and new technologies.
