Kyoto Station: wall .. [2[3] / 5[3]] Kyoto is famous for its temples, oases of quiet contemplation. But one of the most spectacular structures you will see there is the Japan Rail Station building, which at first glance looks completely alien to the culture of Kyoto, but is really a mammoth modern take on the same principles. It is cavernous, a hollow enclosure defined by a skin of steel mesh, and the higher you climb out away from the busy platforms, the calmer and more contemplative it becomes. Kyoto, Kansai Prefecture, Japan. It is impossible to take a good photo of it, because it is a truly experiential space. But like all things Japanese, there are often sightlines and narrow areas of focus that stand out. I am showing one such here, a look up at the massive sidewall. -- source link
