- p_004 osaka station
The intervention targets a 24-hectare site located in the Umeda district, the commercial heart of Osaka city. It forms part of one of the world's largest urban areas with a population of approximately 21 million people, it is perhaps one of the last remaining large-scale downtown districts open for urban redevelopment in Japan and represents one of the world's busiest infrastructural hubs, dealing with an average traffic of 2.5 million passengers per day: The site represents a transit-space par excellence that calls for both: the development of a new urban spacial organization as well as an innovative architectural typology, that directly correlates with the rapidly shifting forces surrounding it.
The project's goal is to propose an urban/architectural design for this transit-space, which a) enables the city to truely draw on the potential of such urban conditions, b) maintains equally efficient flux over current station typologies and c) copes with the massive sectional cuts imposed by the agglomeration of infrastructure in the area.
