Sou Fujimoto has revealed the design for the Hida Furukawa Station Eastern Development, a community centre topped with a bowl-like roof in the town of Hida in Japan.

The multi-purpose building will be set alongside the main railway station in the town, which is located in the mountainous Gifu Prefecture.

Commenters approve. One called it “a future award winner”.

Other stories in this week’s newsletter include a residence in Montreal where nearly every surface is made of plywood, Schmidt Hammer Lassen’s design for what will be the world’s tallest timber building and Oscar Niemeyer’s final building, which has opened at the Château La Coste vineyard.
