Kobe Isuzu Bldg

This is an office building located on the east side of JR Sannomiya Station, which was severely stricken by the Great Hanshin Awaji Earthquake. A glass curtain wall system with an emphasis on verticality was devised to be used to take in outside air. Though other buildings around were stricken by the earthquake, Kobe Isuzu Building was not seriously damaged, and the safety of the "Loose Stick Mullion type" curtain wall was verified.
