A synchrotron radiation facility uses synchrotron-derived radiation light one billion times brighter than the sun to create a “nano environment”. It is expected to be used in a wide range of research and industrial applications. The building’s unique shape is due to the accelerator device that generates the radiation, and its transparent structure reflects its use as a gigantic experimental apparatus. Decorative elements were reduced to emphasize the clarity of the facility’s use. The overall design is intended as a symbol of new value creation.
