Annex
Pavilion over water in the Garden of Fire and Water
2012@Komono, Mie Prefecture
The Annex is a pavilion over water in the Garden of Fire and Water at AQUAIGNIS. Initially, when I joined the AQUAIGNIS project, the placement of major buildings was already fixed and there was no plan in place for the water basin and the Annex. A story was lacking across the entire premises of AQUAIGNIS: there was a need to draw up a concept that would function as a core to integrate the existing elements. Therefore, I proposed a reconstruction of the master plan, with the outdoors at the core. The Annex is the keystone element.
