Outline

Tachikawa International Hall, located in the verdant Rikkyo Gakuin Niiza campus, is a venue for assembly, international exchange and alumni reunion, and as such incorporates the ideas of "integrating with the surrounding environment" and "efficiently utilizing natural resources". The building's limited height and monopitch roof emphasize the horizontal lines of the site, while the deep roof, supported by exposed, laminated fir crossbeams at 700mm centers, incorporates ventilation that significantly enhances insulation. An "eco-wall" acts as the backbone of the building, combining structure and the efficient use of natural resources including ventilation to reduce air conditioning loads.
