ILLUMINATING THE HIDDEN ART OF STRUCTURAL DESIGN

The WHAT Museum in Tokyo has unveiled its most ambitious architectural exhibition yet: ‘SENSE OF STRUCTURE: From Horyuji Temple To The Universe.’ The show sheds light on the often-overlooked field of structural design, the invisible force that brings architects’ visions to life.

While Japan is home to renowned architects, the critical role of structural engineers remains under-recognized. This exhibition aims to change that. Through a collection of over one-hundred intricate models, from timber to textile, visitors gain a newfound appreciation for how structural engineers translate an architect’s concept into a standing structure. These models grapple with the fundamental forces — gravity, wind — that shape our built environment.
