Gallery Ma is sited just above the Nogizaka Subway Station and adjacent to Roppongi in Tokyo. The Gallery Ma is a 14 year old space with exhibiting architecture and related design. The project was created and inserted into the third floor of a six-storey building. On this level, an external quasi-zen-garden bounded by concrete walls cuts the floors above in half, creating a L shape building mass. A glass membrane divides the interior space from the garden and allows total visual invasion into the inserted project. The space is approximately 6.5 x 11 meters in plan and 2.45 meters in section.

The design scheme for Gallery MA is developed from the Homolosine Interrupted Projection Mapping System. The Homolosine Projection depicts the world in a series of sheared ellipses, thus the green surface inside Gallery MA is an “interrupted projection” as it deploys a flattened and empty global surface to form space. The surface bends and loops to form a 3 dimensionally smooth yet complex geometry capable of merging with the graphically logoized world of visual codes and conventional signs.
