abundance of ideas at a small plot DATA architect : KITAYAMA Kojiro address : Yokogawa-cho 3-2-36, Nishi-Ku, Hiroshima City use : shopping mall completion : 2003 size : total floor 9,911sqm structure : S + SRC map (mapion) map (Google Map) [in Japanese]  Shopping Mall adjacent to JR Yokogawa Station. KITAYAMA Takao and KITAYAMA Kojirou who are ANDO Tadao's brothers designed this building.  I believe SunStreet Kameido(*1) by them is a masterpiece of shopping mall. But at this case, I felt abundance of ideas. I think designers should plan simpler because of the small and irregularly-shaped plot. [footnote] (*1) Shopping Mall in Kameido, Tokyo. [my report (in Japanese)] Cazl Yokogawa #1 : Did designers go for the space like a narrow alley or like a broad passage? I think he/she left its space half done. #2 : Fresta (supermarket as an anchor store) is the end of a path. #4 : interior of Fresta #3 : bakery (Branch of Hiroshima Andersen) creation date : 2004/5/14 latest update date : 2005/2/20 writer : makoto camera : Canon PowerShot G3 Photos on this page are licensed under a Creative Commons License.
