BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA: Amusement Facility That Lets You Slide Down A Building

BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA


BOSS E・ZO FUKUOKA may be a strange name for a building, but perhaps it’s only fitting as it is also an amusement facility that houses a plethora of boss-level activities for visitors to enjoy. Its most wacky feature is a 100m-long slide attached to the side of the building for visitors who find taking an elevator down to the ground floor too boring.

Teamlab’s brilliant use of illumination immerses visitors in the surreal worlds that they create, and this is further achieved by the interactive aspect of most of their installations. 

Here’s a sneak preview of the exhibition:
