A Holiday in a Tokyo not so Far Away pt. 2

The concept of opposites forming a whole is a recurring motif inherent throughout the Edo period to modern Japan. The façade of Japanese culture is seen as ordered and structured in the eyes of society. However, built within this order are various degrees of flexibility of exploration and expression.

The project is conceived as a holiday instrument. A new core of Sanya that stretches altruism (goodwill) from Tokyo to Sanya’s urbanscape while renewing its temporary inhabitants, the salarymen through a balance.

The project consists of 5 components organised as layers in the building, a cableway system that connects Tokyo to Sanya and dashi floats that flows into the network of Sanya.
