Kanagawa Institute of Technology is composed of 305 steel columns and surrounded by glass. It serves as a workshop for engineering and design students along with members of the local community.
It is designed by Tokyo designer Junya Ishigami. Ishigami’s glass box is essentially the centerpiece of the institute. Using contemporary minimalism, a predominantly white interior, and lots of open space, the structure blurs the lines between the indoors and outdoors. The architect’s vision was to create the ambiance of a tree filled forest, not a college classroom, making this one very cool learning environment.
