Nagoya Hirokoji Building Environmental impact assessment

Applicable laws and regulations: Nagoya City Environmental Impact Assessment Guidelines
(Outline before the Nagoya City Environmental Impact Assessment Ordinance was promulgated)
Target projects: Construction of large-scale buildings
Completed: 1987

Nagoya City's first private assessment. (Noritake Dome was abolished as a designated project in 1984) Nagoya City's first super high-rise building (height 77m, total floor space 35,000m2), with its unique items and methods for building assessment, was a pioneering assessment that was hand-crafted with unfamiliar city officials. After this, building assessments such as "AMNAT" followed one after another. Items unique to building assessments include sunlight, radio interference, wind damage, and scenery. For sunlight, the prediction method includes detailed descriptions of how to calculate the position of the sun, the length of the shadow, and the duration of the shadow (nowadays, computers can give a one-click answer). For wind damage, this is thought to be the first use of Murakami evaluation (announced in 1982). For scenery, a photomontage was created by drawing the planned building on an actual photo with a paintbrush. All the drawings were created in B5 size. Both of these feel like a different era.
