這棟建築由15個不同大小的圓柱體構成，結構與材料都支持了綠色覆蓋的波動屋頂。在這個大又支配一切的屋頂下，室內的空間以玻璃的圍牆為特色，並且在視覺上是與外在空間連結的。每個圓柱體都是具有不同的功能，同時也可以被看做是一個獨立的建築體。彷彿走在一個只有圓形的城市裡，工坊、展覽、咖啡、圖書館，圓柱體之間空間的運用可透過不同的家具賦予性格。
地板的材質是基於預先設想可能會使用的狀況及情形而設定，同時間並考量了戶外廣場活動的舉辦。簡單來說，中心讓位於室內的人們也能有如同室外空間的感受。好天氣時，還能透過特殊的裝置與室外空間連結。
屋頂的架構呈現放射狀，並綜合了蜘蛛網結構的方法。由於設計的關係，這些架構與圓柱體的連結社定點較高，也因為這樣的緣故，其屋頂的表面呈現如月球般坑洞狀的地形，這些坑洞的深度較厚，所以可以用來種植樹木，也因此屋頂成了流動的綠花園。

This is a facility that intensively combines various functions of information dissemination and exchange associated with the Green Culture Zone, newly opened within the Showa Memorial Park.
The basic concept was for a “growing architecture”, in response to the developing activities of green culture, and for “parkitecture”: architecture integrating with landscape, in which interior and exterior are connected. Our intention was for a space as comfortable as in the shade of a tree that would provide support for park activities.
The building consists of 15 cylinders varied by size, structure and materials, supporting an undulating roof covered by green. Under a large overarching roof, the interior space is defined by a glass enclosure, and visually connected with the exterior space. Every cylinder contains a different room for a specific purpose, and is treated as an independent building. One feels like they are walking in a city where only circle buildings exist. Workshop, exhibition, café, library; the use of space between cylinders can be defined and reorganized by a series of furniture.
Floor materials and the finishes of the cylinders were chosen based on assumed uses of training, workshops and other activities appropriate to an external plaza, and in each activity zone natural materials were employed that could mediate exterior and interior. Similarly to the way the gallery spaces provide an interior that feels similar to an exterior.
During good weather, the operable elements can be opened up, using sash devices to enable an unhindered connection to the exterior.
The roof trusses are formed by radial extended T-bar from the cylinders, and are synthesized in the manner of a spider’s web. The trusses become higher at the connection with cylinder due to its moment diagram, producing a crater topography like on the moon. These craters receive a thick layer of soil to implant large trees, and the overall roof becomes green floating garden.
