白天，这座铁塔，覆盖着穿孔的铝板，通过覆盖铁心的反射表面反射城市。这个项目相当简陋，通过其材料的复杂性，从字面上反映了这座城市。夜幕降临时，风之塔发挥了更积极的作用，通过两台电脑将声音和风转化为光，两台电脑感应到不同的风和噪音水平，并相应地为1300盏灯、12个霓虹灯环和30盏洪水灯提供电源。

By day the tower, clad in perforated aluminum panels, reflects the city through the reflective surfaces covering the steel core. The project is rather humble, literally reflecting the city through the complexity of its material. Come night time, the Tower of Winds takes a more pro-active role, translating sound and wind into light through two computers sensing the varying wind and noise levels and accordingly powering 1300 lamps, 12 neon rings, and 30 flood lights at its base.

这座塔在不断地变换，它的小灯会根据周围的声音改变颜色，它的霓虹灯环会随着城市的风而荡漾。因此，没有图案，因为光的显示是环境的直接表现，描绘在一个21米高的圆柱形表面上。

The tower is constantly transforming, its small lamps changing colors according the surrounding sounds and its neon rings rippling according to the winds of the city. As a result there is no pattern since the display of light is a direct representation of the environment, portrayed on a 21 meter high cylindrical surface.

这个项目就像一座技术雕塑，欢迎游客来到横滨火车站，而且奇怪的是，该项目还为地下商场的空调设备提供了足够多的水箱，而地下购物中心就坐落在它的顶上。伊藤东洋创造了技术、建筑、城市及其居民之间的无限关系，强调城市对人类的深远影响以及技术在建筑中的关键作用。

The project sits as a technological sculpture, welcoming travelers arriving at the rail way station of Yokohama, and oddly enough housing water tanks serving air conditioning machinery for an underground mall that it sits atop. Toyo Ito creates an infinite relationship between technology, architecture, the city, and its inhabitants emphasizing the profound impact of the city on the human race and the crucial role of technology in architecture.

东洋伊藤被授予1987年埃德温古斯杰出奖，美国照明工程学会为这个项目，这是赞扬它的世界主义。Ito在赢得比赛后获得了该项目的奖励，他的成功归功于将纯技术结构转变为城市标志性地标的能力。

Toyo Ito was awarded the 1987 Edwin Guth Memorial Award of Excellence from America's Illumination Engineering Society for this project, which is credited for its tribute to cosmopolitanism. Ito was awarded the project upon winning a competition in which his success is attributed to the ability to convert a purely technical structure into an iconic landmark for the city.
