Kyushu Sangyo University (=KSU) is located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan. This is the redevelopment project of open-space in KSU.
At first we researched about KSU many times, tried to realize the condition of KSU. Each the buildings of KSU have much different façade, at first glance it seems there is not cohesive as a campus. But there were many streets between buildings, many students walked these streets. So we understood the buildings are connected by the flow of people, and in this project we thought to create the new landscape which promote more the flow of people.　We divided the site into three areas, and proposed the new landscape in each of those areas. But those areas are not completely separated but loosely connected.

"Central Open Space"

Central Open Space was the little-used space surrounds some buildings, and the water way as drainage function was in existence all along. We thought it is important to study how to create the street for the flow of people and the reservoir space for activity and rest. We proposed the open space consists of the streets and the reservoir spaces, these borders are lined organic line. The water way was bridged over, and both sides of the water way were planted with variety of plants. The cloud-like pergola is floating on the Central Open Space, this pergola works as landmark and as an element where students want to go.

"Amphitheater"

This space was just a pitched turf, and the little-used space. We required consideration of not create extensive land in planning. So we thought to design landscape based on existing slope. At first, we made model of exiting slope and converted it into various artificial line, and studied number or trend or width of the steps for the flow of people. Along with Central Open Space, Amphitheater is that the flow space and the reservoir space for people coexist in harmony.

"North Street"

This street is long and straight, and mainly used for the student’s way to and from the university. We thought to emphasize linearity of this street, because we want to make walking people feel “durability” of the street. So we studied delicate line between Interlocking Blocks, designed artless pattern of the pavement.
