Eishin Campus – High School: Central Hall massive concrete piers

1985
Construction System, Heavy Timber Load Bearing Structure, Reinforced Concrte
Four-feet thick concrete base walls with arched openings create an alternating repetition between massive piers and deep openings, with positive space and good shape both on the piers and the arches. Arches and seats form alcoves, and the piers support the heavy timber frame and roof truss of the upper structure.
