Takatoku Nishi has created an architecture that allows people to experience the beauty of nature around them as it shifts from day to day. It is a phenomenon of light that is produced and drops into space by the forces of the sun and wind. This architecture is just a gimmick to incorporate the forces of nature; all it needs is the forces that are constantly occurring in the natural world.
