IKEBUKURO DAI-ICHI SEIMEI BUILDING

摘要

Our goal was to bring to life the wide natural environment hidden in the city. We thought it must be possible to bring a depth of expression to the cityscape and highlight the natural elements hidden in the background by highly pure abstract architecture that reacts to the vast environment such as the ground, the sky, breeze, and light. In order to react to the vast environment, we made a point of using 1.8m human-scale modules differing from the scale of typical buildings. The profile of the precast concrete mesh gently changes in reaction to the surrounding environment that maximizes comfort in each space throughout the building, and generates unique expression that avoids ubiquity in the office spaces.
