Entry Description

The NTT Pavilion is envisioned as an architectural space where the digital and real worlds blend seamlessly, allowing human behavior, nature, and digital elements to gently harmonize. Thread-like structures create sound, and fabrics swaying in the wind and light reflect nature’s transitions. Visitors’ emotions, read from facial expressions, are sent to a server, causing the facade to pulse with sound. The architecture itself aims to be an organic space that breathes, responds, and harmonizes like a living entity with emotions.
