Program: This complex project, housing facilities as varied as the international design center Nagoya, city of Nagoya youth cultural center, an office tower, and extensive retail space, is designed around a dynamically scaled central atrium. The building’s major public spaces and lobbies all front the atrium through a maze of stepped balconies and glass screens, eliminating many of the typical circulation balconies that front more conventional atriums. The project’s complex geometries are generated by layering careful responses to the urban context (traffic flow, sight lines, setbacks, height limits) over a strategy of articulating the project’s primary components.   Location: Naka-ku, Nagoya
