On one side of the table stands a “Relax Globe” with a 10-meter diameter, and its shape is borrowed from the 11 Globes at the “Minna no Mori” Gifu Media Cosmos that Ito completed in 2015. Put together with polyester fibers and non-woven fabrics, the Globes allow the input of natural light into the structure’s inner space as well as promote ventilation and air circulation, allowing feelings of the Nature’s vitality for visitors to the media cosmos. Inside “Relax Globe”, visitors could lie on beanbags designed by Ito, and watch videos that symbolize the flowing process of the architect’s designs and structures. According to Ito himself, the track of his design career is just like a winding stream. And along this stream of thoughts embodied in works of the Toyo Ito & Associates, Architects, visitors will embrace Ito’s agile, sensible and open architectural visions.
