Kengo Kuma & Associates-Tokyo Institute of Technology Hisao&Hiroko Taki Plaza

 

이 건물은 도쿄 공과대학교 입구에 위치하고 있다. 캠퍼스의 랜드마크인 시계탑의 전망을 유지하기 위해 대부분의 공간은 지하에 자리잡고 있다. 지상에서 건물은 주변 풍경과 매끄럽게 통합되는 언덕과 같은 형태를 취한다. 계단식 녹지와 관람석으로 구성된 지붕은 인접한 도서관의 녹샌 경사 벽과 공명하여 집합적으로 녹색 계곡을 만든다. 이 경사 지붕은 학생들에게 삶과 활동을 초대하는 새로운 녹지 공간이다.

Located at the entrance of the Tokyo Institute of Technology, we designed a “platform” to house student activity. To maintain a clear vista of the clocktower, a prominent landmark for the campus, most of the building sits underground. Above ground, the building takes on a lush mound-like form, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding landscape.

 

The “roof” which is composed of stepped greenery and bleachers, resonates with the green slanted wall of the adjacent library, collectively creating a green valley. The green valley serves as a new green space to invite life and activity for the students.

 

The line between the interior space and exterior landscape is blurred by continuing the stepped landscape into the building. This allows activities such as co-learning and joint workshops to be held simultaneously on different levels. The space flows ambiguously without clear spatial divisions, stimulating the senses of the users both visually and physically. 

 

In order to consider many complex site conditions, we first determined the overall sectional profile of the roof, followed by the strip-like steps of the bleachers fanning out. This resulted in a roof silhouette that resembles the landscape of a river delta that spills into the campus. By exposing the twisted structure that supports the roof, the interior space yields a certain fluidity. Two architectural landscapes were created, the exterior and interior landscapes, relating to each other in a resonating harmony.
