Phase 1 : Unfolding Utopias - Tokyo Bay


Tokyo Bay : Kenzo Tange

In the 1960s of Japan, the economics is growing super fast, and the population is expanded rapidly. There were a challenge to expand the territory of very dense Tokyo over its big bays. The project proposals are different from each architect. 


           Hisaakira Kano : His plan called "Yamato", the plan is to do a total land reclamation over the            bay by using atomic bomb to excavated rock from the mountain to totally fill the bay. This                  plan later developed to the "Neo Tokyo" that are more variety of residence and complex                      industrial estate.

            Kisho Kurokawa : The counter proposals of the Kano plan he purposed the structure that can             floats on the water instead of total reclamation. The space is putting more focused on the                   residential area

            Kenzo Tange : After his years of teaching at MIT, he came back to Japan and purposed plan               using A-House design that he was developed when he was at MIT. The project is the                        explorations of planning between grounded infrastructure and floating structure.

            Tang Lab : The most developed plan of Tokyo bay. Tange and his metabolist group at Tange             lap were developed the Tokyo bay by develop each important aspects of the projects. (See                  further details in the Diagram)

            Kiyonori Kikutage : His plan is develop the Manhattan like floating cities.

            Hisaakira Kano : The new proposals that use the cells systems to mimic the structure and                expansion of the city over the Tokyo bay.


The Tokyo Bay : Tange Lab

The renders of what might look like if the Tokyo Bay project is actually build



The Residential Floating A-House
The design would have more connections of interior when every residences faced each others and created the sense of community while on the other sides is facing outsides for the privacy


The interior Space and Structure of the House
 The connections of each individuals units to the outsides, and its space that created with the prefabricated elements. The house contain both modern and traditional elements mixed together.


 The Office Buildings
The infrastructure located in the cord of the projects


The Interior of office buildings
 The explorations of the structure and the interior of the buildings
