About the Cell Sets from LIVE EARTH JOURNEY
LIVE EARTH JOURNEY regards each “cell” integrated into the architectural structure as a life form. The basic unit of a cell is a cubic steel frame with a side length of 2.4m. Multiple cells stacked together are called a “cell set,” and by arranging them at an angle, it creates a space that can be used for a variety of purposes.
