Excerpt from Wikipedia
Spiral, also known as the Wacoal Art Center, is a multi-use building in Aoyama, Tokyo, Japan, that was designed by architect Fumihiko Maki. It was commissioned by lingerie company Wacoal and completed in 1985. Spiral includes gallery space, a multipurpose hall, cafe, restaurant and bar, salon, and shops. The defining feature of the building is a seemingly-floating spiral ramp (15 m in diameter) that encircles the rear gallery space and climbs to the second floor. The exterior facade of aluminum and glass reflects the jumbled nature of the surrounding streetscape. Spiral is a nexus of cultural life in Aoyama, presenting music, art, film, and theater events.
