But otherwise it has a beauty of its own. Leaning, but keeping our sense of equilibrium right with its windows, and most importantly, with its horizontal floors. What drives you insane is floors with a slope. I know that as a fact... A piece of very bad joke for those who were hit by the Earthquake 15 years ago today. But otherwise it has a beauty of its own.

The reason the walls are bent - the way I understood it - is to encourage the discussion between the two buildings and probably to create an unusual space and different experience to the temporary visitor. As I mentioned, I would increase the discussion by making the floors between the spaces much darker! @sr arquitecto

Locating, digging up and fixing broken cables would be a huge problem, compared to having cables hanging loosely over the streets about the cables: with the daily earthquakes here in japan, cables in the air makes more sense than cables in the ground.

You can't bury lines in sismic areas. But, if it's about beauty, personally I like them. The buildings are great as well, maybe I'm not so sure the slanted gesture adds much: I like it on the access stairs and at the corner, but it doesn't seem to mean much anywhere else. I love the little lights next to the doors! Window placement looks excellent too. Don’t you know about liquefaction? You can’t bury lines in sismic areas.
