還記得當初到訪六本木之丘時, Tokyo Midtown 還有幾週才開幕, 是那趟建築之旅的遺珠之憾, 再訪東京時, 目標 "Midtown"及鄰近的"新國立美術館"by 黑川紀章. With luck, had a clear sunny day.
國立新美術館採黑川紀章設計, 波浪形玻璃帷幕造型, 遽聞其設計靈感來自大自然的山脈及海洋之蜿蜒曲線
這是大廳的一角, see how sunlight came in through the glass wall, such an enjoyment to stroll slowly!
享受陽光的舒適designer皮椅及大廳空間, 輕輕的音樂, 難得悠閒的東京一角.
自美術館拐幾個彎 , 就是Midtown了.
Midtown 中庭- start of a uniquely "green /natural" shopping center; 白色的鋼鐵樹(柱體)穿插在真正的綠色大樹, 格外趣味.
特別的商業空間, 大量木頭而非常見玻璃鋼架, 柔和燈光及綠色樹木, 這是個很溫暖的空間.
Through out the shopping mall, 每每有很多小角落, 坐在特製而每張不同的椅子上, 可以擁有一段私有的閒適時間; 這樣的氛圍, is not typical of such commercial space.
安藤忠雄的21_21, 位於Midtown基地上, 如此開闊的空間, 是在寸土寸金的六本木?! 我為這個開發案能實現很替東京人拍手.
Entrance.
結果最後還是有Kengo Kuma 的Suntory Museum 沒來得及觀賞, save for next trip. End of the day, went back to get this shot.
