In this flickr photo, we can examine the exterior's zen-like structure with hints of minimalism through the repetition of lines and orthogonal structures of the same color and material. Furthermore, the wooden benches contribute to the zen-like feeling of simplicity. The building's large stature contributes to the feeling of a massive monument with power hidden in it simplicity. There is a lot of open space and interaction with nature including a man-made pond implying that the structure is one with its natural surroundings much like that of Katsura. (Besser, Chelsea.
