Spine A: MM21--Sakuragi-cho Station--Noge--Hinodecho--Koganecho
Taking note of the
daytime and nighttime activities along Ooka River in Spine A, the group
designed new urban experiences that change with time.
Spine B: Bashamichi--Kannai Station--Isezakicho
Spine B is divided
by transportation infrastructure such as a railway; the group proposed
reconstructing the environment as an integrated urban spine by building a plaza
that encourages people to linger at the intersection of the infrastructure and
the spine.
Spine C: Nihon Odori--Kannai Station--Odori Park
From the viewpoint
of "time," the city can be regarded as an accumulation of
"instants" and the small
elements from which a town is composed, from a single leaf to bricks, become visible. Here, special note has been taken of
undulations on the facades of stores such as subtle lighting and billboards,
and a proposal that focuses on their diversity is made.
Spine D: Motomachi--Chinatown--Ishikawacho Station--Kotobukicho
In this proposal, a
new water network is constructed by expanding an existing river flowing along
Spine D, and the waterside environment is enlivened by using differences in the
context or distinctive activities
of districts.
