The 25th SPACE Prize for International Students of Architectural Design

パブリックスペースとしての商業施設を考える

Description
The meaning of today's shopping has evolved and extended its function to provide relaxation, entertainment, and other various cultural experiences. The behavior of consumption has changed from consumption out of necessity to culture dimension consumption. Current trends also indicate that well-known artist is also designing footwear. An Immersionary Space, in which a product can be touched, felt, listened to, and interacted completely, has become necessary.
Optimization of public space should take precedence over lease space in commercial buildings. There should be a connection with the context and neighboring buildings as proposed tentacles to the city. As places for many people to gather, it should be a very active space, which will allow for various events. Therefore, a commercial building should be reinforced with culture, entertainment, and as a mixture playground; which gives people maximum experience off-line.
Here, I propose unique program of commercial building design through the conversion of shopping and public space.
