the chapel was built within the site of hyatt regency osaka and it is mainly used for wedding ceremonies. the ‘ring’ structural system is hung along the perimeter of the chapel, which consists of truncated tetrahedrons made of steel rings. from inside, one can see the rings only through layered fabrics so that their presence is softly insinuated.
