Escenario Hanabusayama / Ryuichi Sasaki + Sasaki Architecture

closed

Carving architecture from the earth –Surrounded by undulating terrain and historic residential zones dating back to the Edo period,Escenario Hanabusayamareflects the strata and slopes of its environment in both form and materiality. The façade—accented with elongated, slanted ridges—evokes layers of rock, while the approach and boundary walls incorporate slender stone patterns and gentle inclines reminiscent of natural formations. The exposed concrete exterior, as if cut directly from the cliff, anchors the building into the landscape, blurring the boundary between structure and terrain.
