This is an innovative design of a newly constructed waste treatment plant in the waterfront area of Hiroshima City. By making incineration-related facilities, which are often the object of disgust, look beautifully like works of art instead of being hidden away, the tour route of the waste treatment plant is sublimated into a work of art. Details such as glass windows and railings have been carefully designed, demonstrating the plant's commitment to creating a simple space. The glass corridor and observation deck are usually open to the public and can be easily visited.
