Asakusa Gate

Academic Project, UBC Tokyo Program
Given a large program in a large city with a small site, this project is about negotiating the specific needs of each program. The shifts in size and shape of the floor plates are determined by program. which also informs each floor’s atitude toward the street, giving the building a particular ‘posture.’ The circulation for this public building is outdoors, embedded between the two layers of the structural exoskeleton.
