Noguchi studied architecture in Tokyo National Art University, and has shown his capability in variations of outputs. Architecture may be divided to two structures: foundation and invisible inner structure to support itself from gravity and natural condition, and the exterior surface covering surface. What we visually conceive when walking in the space of a building is merely the experience of this exterior shell-like surface. When we discuss Noguchi's art, seeing him in terms of architectural interior and exterior viewpoint, I think that this artist may have a specific interest in how the exterior shell functions as a superficial disguise. For example, he has done a series of work using origami as a theme. If it is an origami made of a piece of paper, our notion of origami is that they would be something placed on a table. Not counting on how the size may differ, it should mean a stereotype origami no matter how large it may be. It may be fine if the size of the origami is kept within the size of our understanding of normal origami. However, if the same shape would be enlarged and made as a sculpture, we suddenly start to see it uncomfortable. Noguchi easily leaps this distance and reaches the other shore to create works of art by making large elephants or giraffes in the same form of origami.
