A café built on the Tsushima Campus of Okayama University. Facing a row of ginkgo trees that run north-south through the campus, it faces the city. The closed area surrounded by a concrete block wall was removed to create a park-like open space. Solid steel columns of 50 to 60 mm in diameter support the 12 mm thick steel plate roof.
