Cesar Pelli & Associates with structural engineers Tomoki Hashimoto and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries designed the National Museum Of Art NMAO in Osaka.
As the museum moved to its downtown location in 2004, space restrictions required that all but the lobby be placed underground in a water-tight container, and only the lobby manifest the museum to the city.
This contemporary lobby rises from the ground as an organic skeleton, catching light and wind and tunneling them underground. Circulation, museum functionality, and air circulation were a particular problem in this underground container.

An interesting building, which I plan to see on next April, when I'll stay in Osaka 2 days.
