First Prize Hiroshi Kato, Victoria Diemer
「Glass in Nature」


We propose the ultimate glass building
Glass, the most of artifact thing.
The spece between treen in forest, the most natural place.
Both dsen’t have exact shape.We imagined to realize such natural space can be a house by using glass.
So glasses would be fit “in forest”. This is the ultimate glass building

Second Prize 「A bubble of glass」
Kei Kaiho

Using the extreme thin glass (0.1mm thick, developed for liquid crystal display) as the border of spaces, the border would be much lighter, vaguer so that we would feel as if we were in a bubble floating with the wind and vibrating with the sound.


Second Prize 「Where light heads」
Shingo Masuda, Katsuhisa Otsubo

Light, taken in from outside, is brought back out again. This makes a situation of “sunlight shining from the building”. A new perspective of the existence of light and glass is formed, as well as insertion of a new factor to connect inside and outside. This factor is a new way to expand closed architecture to the outer environment.
