Hinomaru Driving School

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 28 May 2008 in Architecture.

This complex named Sunburst Building houses a gallery and driving school's head office and classrooms.
Reference: Taro Ashihara Architects

Architect: Taro Ashihara
Completed: 1996

Photo of a 1:1 model of the building and surroundings.

-Important Update|Note-: This is not a photo of a scale model, it is a photo of a building in Ebisu, Tokyo. This photo is my first attempt using Tilt-shift post-processing in photoshop to make it look like a miniature. I wanted to test if the effect was properly done by saying that is a photo of a 1:1 model but didn't give any explanation about it so here it goes. In architecture we refer to 1:1 model to the real size, it is a scale usually used for testing how are parts of buildings or structure are going to work or look like.
