Kyoto Concert Hall, Kyoto, 1995

One of the conditions of the limted competition for the Kyoto Concert Hall was that the 1800-seat large hall be of the shoebox type. All participants had to accept that condition. Seeking to explore other possibilities, we had just tried a variation of fan type in the 700-seat concert hall at the Art Tower Mito. In addition to the excentric layout, the seats that double as a performance platform for trumpets are assembled in a random manner.
