The  Science Hills Komatsu was created by Mari Ito and her team at Urban Architecture Office. The building is located in Komatsu, Ishikawa, Japan and was completed in 2013. The science museum was created as a sustainable building and echoes the rich history Komatsu community. An auditorium is contained within the dome in the north-west corner of the site, while the main exhibition space is located beneath one of the largest waves. “People can stroll freely inside and outside of the broad waves and view exhibits from many aspects,” said Ito. “The rooftop curve serves as a sweeping canopy controlling light and also drains rain water into a reservoir for planting irrigation.”
