The subject site is located in and around Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo.
There is a plan to rehabilitate the Tokyo Expressway (KK line) that runs around Ginza, and a study of how to convert the transportation infrastructure into a public space and its design is urgently needed. Therefore, this studio will design a landscape and architecture for public use, including the future use of the current KK line.
The studio will conduct a fieldwork-based study of the network, boundaries, programs, and forms of public space with an eye toward the freeway and its adjacent spaces, as well as the unnecessary freeway structures and their linkage to the surrounding redevelopment plan. landscape and architectural design proposals will be considered.
