Creating “commonality” while preserving “cultural landscape”
The cultural landscape has been created on this site that has been nurtured with fishing. This fish market UMIKARA inherits the scale of the fishing gear warehouse and the color of the outer wall around the site, and it has the terrace on the roof for creating commonality.
The diversification of primary industry is the creation of the circular economy that returns profits to the region without being sucked up by industrial linkages. The structural transformation of economy that circulates in the region will create the place where future children will return.
