Date
Despite the changes he was forced to make, Ito remained true to the project's main focus. Namely, for the ground floor of the building to be an open space, where students and teachers would cross paths, even if they were not going to use the TAMA library. It almost seems like the ground has eroded away under the beautiful building.
