Ikebukuro West Exit Park GLOBAL RING

Ikebukuro Nishiguchi park GLOBAL RING

This is a renovation plan for Ikebukuro West Exit Park, which was developed in 1990 together with the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre. The "spiral ring" expresses the energy of the spring water of the "Maruike Pond" that once stood here. The sky cut off by a circle will become an "asset" of the town that will be transformed by the redevelopment. facade of the stage building uses a geometric design. It creates continuity between the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre and Metropolitan Plaza, while at the same time further enhancing the potential of these buildings. The sound and digital art installed together with the GLOBAL RING brings a sense of unity to the park, creating an incentive to visit. This project adds new added value to the town and is carefully planned to meet the needs of the town, and is a challenge to "redevelopment = updating the town" in a mature society.
