Design of public space due to undergrounding of expressway in Nihonbashi
The target site will be the Nihonbashi River in and around in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
Redevelopment projects are planned in more than 6 districts around the Nihonbashi River, and many new super high-rise buildings specialized for business are planned to be constructed, and along with this, a plan for undergrounding the Metropolitan Expressway is progressing.
As the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway is underground and the Nihonbashi River is opened, it is required to enhance the public space for business people working in the district or local residents. Consideration of the public space on the waterfront Is in a hurry. Therefore, in this studio, the landscape and architectural forms will be designed for the purpose of public offering along the river, including future utilization of the current Shuto Expressway.
What kind of network, boundary, program, and form can a public space take into account how the river and its riverside space should be, the construction of unnecessary highways, and cooperation with the surrounding redevelopment plan? , We will conduct an online fieldwork-based survey and propose landscape and architectural designs.
