Designing Towers Connected to the City

Aiming to create a skyscraper unique to Shibuya, this structure was designed to shift from the image of a rigid tower, growing softer at the base towards the foot of the building. The figure of the tower changes dynamically at the bottom of the building in response to the flow of people and the way the city is built, while the upper section of the structure changes in shape and reflections of light towards the corners in response to the radial nature of the city. Embracing the energy of the dense and bustling streets of the city as they rise upward into the sky, these dynamic towers that are connected to the city can be seen from locations all around Shibuya.
