On a roundabout in Casalgrande near Reggio Emilia, between a
huge ceramic tile factory and a railway marshalling
yard stands a curious piece of
architecture by the Japanese “Archistar” Kengo Kuma.

Being such an interesting structure in the middle of
such ugly surroundings it seem like an interesting photographic challenge.

The structure paid for
by the adjacent ceramics firm "Casalgrande Padana" is made up of glazed porcelain tiles held
together with steel supports making it
unusual that it uses floor tiles in a
structural role. It is interesting how
the form changes as one moves around the structure.
