The curved facade of the World Hall at Kobe Port Island looms large, clad in weathered steel panels that shift from shadowed violet-brown at the base to a brilliant, sunlit rust orange at the top edge. Early morning light grazes the upper horizontal louvers, highlighting their layered texture against a pale blue sky streaked with cirrus clouds. Below the sunlit crest, deeply recessed rectangular windows puncture the industrial surface, creating a rhythmic geometric pattern. A patch of leafy green trees in the lower left corner offers a natural contrast to the imposing metal architecture.
