These are images of Omotesando Hills shopping centre in Tokyo designed by Tadao Ando, a great Japanese Architect. The shopping centre occupies a triangular site and consist of a continuous ramp that spirals around a central triangular courtyard. Two security guards are needed to make sure that nobody trips over the awkward level change that the continuous ramp creates. It's a useful lesson when we come to ramps in experiment 2 and just goes to show that even great architects can make mistakes. You, however, can't make any :)
