| The NTT Aoyama renovation project involves the conversion of the bottom floors. The reduction in the size of the equipment at telephone exchanges has made more space available, and the space that was previously occupied by “black boxes” is being opened up to the city. Finding effective ways of bringing the city into the building is a very relevant issue to contemporary society.The solution that was adopted for this project was to incorporate new functions into the first floor area that faces Aoyama Avenue, consisting of a café, flower shop and an interior shop. The concept behind this was to soften the interface between the “black boxes” in the exchange and the street in front of the building. |
