Daiwa Ubiquitous Computing Research Building, Tokyo by Kengo Kuma

Kengo Kuma and his team added a touch of organic design to the urban campus of the University of Tokyo with the Daiwa Ubiquitous Computing Research Building. Balancing out the campus' existing 'harder', geometric volumes, mostly made of concrete and stone, Kuma wrapped this educational building in a soft skin of undulating panels of wood and earth.
