The port of Nagoya offers a particularly promising site for new city planning, as it has remained largely untouched by the kind of less-than-successful new projects built in Tokyo and Osaka. However, current plans for a highly sophisticated enterprise zone complete with a new international airport, train terminals, office parks, housing blocks, and hypermarkets are characterized by the all-too-familiar imagery of the outdated Western city plan (as has already been implemented in Tokyo and Kobe).
In fact, one could generalize that large-scale development outside every major city in the world has assumed a similar homogeneous, atomized quality; and yet a substantial amount of business is now conducted outside of traditional city centers by an increasingly itinerant work force.
In response to these challenges, I have attempted to develop a small, interdependent prototype for a business substation within a proposed transportation terminal in Nagoya Port as a way to consolidate the various necessary programs into a conscionable unit. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
