Punch a hole in the sky
DESCRIPTION
The "Shine Hat," an EXPO event hall for the Osaka Kansai World Expo, was designed by the renowned Japanese architect Toyo Ito. This building serves as a large performance hall for hosting events such as the opening and closing ceremonies of the World Expo. Through precise calculations of the light reflection effect on the roof, the golden circular metal panels are arranged at a specific angle, creating the illusion of a "hole in the sky" from the human perspective.
