An interesting example of how architecture can convey symbolic meaning and reflect a company’s concept is this building designed for a Japanese textile manufacturer specializing in women’s clothing. The cleft that splits the white concrete cube into two parts is intended by the architects to evoke the curves of the female form, with the motif of curved lines continuing throughout the interior spaces on each floor.

This fissure serves not only as a decorative element but also as a functional entrance, providing access to various areas of the building. For instance, it leads to an event hall on the basement level and showrooms on the first and second floors.
