Green Cast
Odawara-shi, Kanagawa prefecture | Japan | Completed May 2010 – June 2011
The facade of the building is covered with planters made of aluminum die-cast panels, which provides space for facilities. The 3 (up to 6) aluminum panels, which also form planters, are made in mono block casting. Each panel is slanted, and its surface appears to be organic, of which cast comes from decayed styrene foam. Equipment such as watering hose, air reservoir for ventilation and down pipes are installed behind the panels so that the facade can accommodate a comprehensive system for the building.
