In collaboration with Saul Kim
Dakō Yane (Serpentine Roof) is an urban intervention situated atop a pedestrian bridge at Ueno Station, the gateway to central Tokyo. It aims to revitalize an underused pedestrian bridge, converting it to a pedestrian street and urban park. The project focuses on visualizing the environmental conditions at the site, using representations of light, shadow, wind and sound to drive the project’s performance. The proposal features a continuous roof system that operates as a datum, providing a rich and stable microclimate. The roof’s connective tissue houses a wide variety of interchangeable program slots, allowing for a diverse array of possible functions while maintaining appropriate scalar and environmental conditions that guide pedestrian navigation for cultural and commercial confluence.
