Architecture

Architecturally, the road-side facde is created using a combination of simple surfaces that correlates to the speed of the cars.
On the other hand, the deck-side facde that faces the river is open to correlate with the flow of the people.

As a whole, the walls and roofs make a number of independent planes meet each other at various points. Since the angles of the respective planes are different, the areas which are bright change as the sun moves. Although it is simple architecturally, light and shadow serve to create many different images.
The materialization of diversity through the use of simple codes is also one of the main concepts of this project.

Information boards with touch screens and large monitors are lined between the facdes. In addition to information, coffee and "maitake gohan" (rice with maitake mushrooms), a local specialty, are also available.
