ACROS Fukuoka Prefectural International Hall
The back half of this building, made up of terraces, connects to the green space, available to the public. The terraces provide space for plants that support bird and insect life as well as provide temperature control to the building. The front of the building has an urban appearance. Some may say this building is like a mullet, business in the front, party in the back. The plot where this building was erected was the last undeveloped area lot in the area. In order to keep a green space for the public, the architect created this amazing dual-purpose building. The conceptual design was by Emilio Ambasz & Associates, Inc.
