Under HSTP the aim is to achieve structural efficiencies in three areas production, direct materials costs, and indirect costs, where current total costs are JPY 9 trillion (USD 113 billion).

FORBES: Connect

He also saw the functional and commercial vernacular of Liverpool as a source for a more familiar and time-tested kind of design, and he began to use local materials, like red brick, to modify the structural glass and steel of the university buildings at Cambridge and Leicester done in the late '50s and early '60s, without sacrificing the radical rethinking of program and space that modernism encouraged.

In contrast, systems that simply combine structural elements with power and energy devices, such that each set of materials are acting independently, provide no advantages in system efficiency.
