Fashion Museum Tokyo

OOS
Type
The
project envisions the Tokyo Fashion History Museum as a radical addition to the
city skyline: a kinetic architecture comprising twenty-one boxes in continuous
circuitous motion. The interest of the project lays in the programmatic and
performative quality of space in the museum. Instead of creating another icon
for Omotesando`s "runway of architectural images", the project seeks
to challenge the nature of fashion, the possibilities of exhibiting its history
and the movement of the visitor.Like
the system of a paternoster lift, these 21 boxes rise out of the ground and
move in a circuit between two structural frames which seemingly dissolve into
the air. The building therefore has a light and shifting urban presence. The
movement of these boxes, each individually maneuverable, may be programmed to
unique configurations which accomodate specific events and vary over the course
of the day. In the morning the boxes rise from beneath street level, while in
the evening they are submerged to form a public plaza from which the exhibits
may still be seen through some of the boxes' glazed roofs; at this time, only
the skybar is left suspended above. During a fashion-show, the runway comes to
life and the seating and open terraces take position around the projected
catwalk to observe the spectacle.
The
regular operation of the circuit itself constantly presents new possibilities
to the visitor as different spaces and exhibitions align offering new routes to
be taken, new views to explore and new relations. The shifting views between
these spaces and the interplay between visitor and exhibit means that,
essentially, every space becomes a runway and every visitor an exhibit.
The
boxes themselves vary in typology, whilst the exhibition spaces are of
different room heights to allow for unique exhibit configurations and spatial
excitement. On the outside, the boxes are all materialised with combinations of
opaque and transparent surfaces, whilst within they are individually adaptable
and flexible spaces.
