A reconstruction of the public highschool near Hiroshima Castle, one of the result of "Hiroshima 2045 Peace and Create(*1)".

 I know the difficulty to comment about its artistry, but I think its designing code should not be allowed. If in desert any designing code will do, but in cities all buildings have to consort with townscape. It seems that some architects misunderstand the word "originality".
