Pelli Clarke Pelli Architects<\/a> has designed three towers for the Toranomon-Azabudai district urban redevelopment project in the heart of Tokyo, Japan.<\/p>\n

The core concept of the project is of a \u2018modern urban village,\u2019 a neighborhood that will combine a megalopolis with the intimacy of a small village.<\/p>\n

The project will cover an area of more than 8 ha (20 acre), similar to New York\u2019s Rockefeller Center, and feature extensive greenery totaling 24,000 m2<\/sup> (258,334 sf) including a 6000-m2<\/sup> (64,583-sf) central square.<\/p>\n

Its physical structures will incorporate cutting-edge seismic designs and technologies, with dedicated power stations supplying electricity to the whole neighborhood. The project is designed to provide a safe city allowing people to live and work even in the event of a major disaster on the scale of the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.<\/p>\n

The Toranomon-Azabudai project will create a people-centered space by blending diverse elements and creating a world of its own. It will weave offices, residences, a hotel, an international school, retail shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities into the fabric of everyday life, encompassing work, learning, recreation, interaction, and relaxation.<\/p>\n

All of the electricity supplied to the neighborhood will be from renewable sources, which will meet the targets stipulated in the RE100<\/a> international environmental initiative led by the United Kingdom\u2019s Climate Group<\/a>. The project is also applying for certification under the WELL<\/a> building standard.<\/p>\n

The project completion is scheduled for March 2023.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
