Sculptor Anish Kapoor is now designing a mobile concert hall for music and arts to the region of Japan hit by March's earthquake and tsunami.
The hall, seating up to 700 spectators, will be a "pneumatic structure" so that it could be inflated fastly with air.
Commissioned by Switzerland's Lucerne festival, the structure will be contruct in collaboration with the Japanese architect Arata Isozaki.
A programme of events is scheduled to begin in spring in 2012.
The project is titled Ark Nova - A Tribute to Higashi Nihon. Higashi Nihon was the area struck by the earthquake and tsunami on 11 March this year.
