🏛 Architecture and Design

Designed by the Australian architectural firm Buchan, it features a soft membrane structure inspired by the "eucalyptus flower." Like light and shadow swaying in daily life, it shapes a symbol of the rich land.

It utilizes some reused materials from the Tokyo Olympics, achieving a sustainable design that is reusable and environmentally friendly.
