Proposed
The masterplan proposes a composition of mixed-use towers on a raised landscape, stitching infrastructure with public realm to create a new identity on the skyline.
Shinagawa was once seen as Tokyo’s front door. Over time it has suffered from the pull of commercial and cultural activity to Tokyo, and its railyards are overwhelmed by surrounding infrastructure.
The masterplan proposes a composition of mixed-use towers on a raised landscape, stitching infrastructure with public realm to create a new identity on the skyline. Together, the built form and landscape plant seeds for Shinagawa’s regeneration.
