Tomoyasu Arai (Kume Sekkei Co., Ltd)

This gymnasium for Tokyo Women’s College of Physical Education was planned for the 120th anniversary. In order to layer large spaces on a campus surrounded by residential areas, we created an optimal practice space while considering the surrounding environment. The east and west facades, which create a sense of openness while controlling sunlight and views, are integrated with the equipment and structure for the large multilayered space. Various devices to induce exercise were placed in various locations to turn every area into a practice space.
