Gate
Tsuzumi-mon gate and Hospitality Dome at Kanazawa station, Japan.
This 13.7 meter-high gate is supported by two thick pillars, and is designed to evoke the image of the tsuzumi, the drums played by hand in Noh theater and Kaga Hosho performances.
The Hospitality Dome (Motenashi Dōmu) uses 3019 glass panels to create a bright, wide space for visitors while also shielding them from the elements.
Design (1998): Ryuzo Shirae
