Appreciation towards Dominique Perrault Architect for providing the following description:

这座为 Fukoku 保险公司设计的塔楼项目从一棵根系在地表生长的巨树的轮廓中汲取灵感。塔楼底部呈弧形，随着塔楼的升高，其轮廓优雅地逐渐变细，为城市的天际线增添了一道垂直渐近线。

This tower project for the Fukoku insurance company takes inspiration from the profile of a gigantic tree whose roots proliferate on the surface of the ground. Splayed at its base, the tower’s outline tapers elegantly as it rises, gracing the city’s skyline with a vertical asymptote.

建筑 “树皮 ”的处理突出了建筑底部和上部的对比。下层宽阔的 “木屑 ”逐渐让位于光滑的墙面。

The contrast between the structure’s base and upper regions is accentuated by the treatment of the building’s “bark”. Broad “wood chips” on the lower levels gradually give way to a sleek wall.

玻璃外墙的底部镶嵌着层层叠叠的镜面，反射出天空和周围环境的色彩。该建筑位于大阪主要火车站的出口处，将成为城市景观中一个持久的地标。

The glass facade is worked into a crescendo of encrusted mirrors at the base, reflecting the colors of the sky and the surrounding environment. Situated at the exit of Osaka’s main train station, the building will become a lasting landmark in the urban landscape.
