GALLERY, A CAFE, AN ARTISTS ATELIER, A MEETING SPACE AND A STEP PLAZA BENEATH THE OVERPASS OF KEIHINKYUKO-LINE(KOGANECHO)

摘要

The general plan is made up of five projects aimed at redefining the abandoned zones according to a spatial grid that takes into account scale, context, materials and existing structures. The projects, which cover a100-metre-long segment under the train overpass, demonstrate how alot can be done with very little by reducing expenses to the bone. All of them are an attempt to mediate between the scale of civil engineering and the more intimate and comfortable scale of interior design. The spaces' very relaxed atmosphere is produced by creating clean-cut volumes without any excessive formal stylistics. The projects are based on a codification of Koganecho's informal landscape.
