Ikebukuro West Exit Park GLOBAL RING

Ikebukuro Nishiguchi park GLOBAL RING

A renovation plan for Ikebukuro West Exit Park, which was developed in 1990 as an integral part of the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre (Gekijyo).
The "spiral ring" expresses the energy of the spring water from "Maruike Pond" that once stood here. The sky cut off in a circle will become an "asset" of the town that will be transformed by the redevelopment. A geometric design is used for facade of the stage building. It creates continuity with the Tokyo Metropolitan Theatre and Metropolitan Plaza while 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.
