„urban space is a relation between density and openness. To create new green areas by constructing new infrastructure is ecological, economical and social progress.“

 

The idea of Tokyo Music Dome is to maximise the inner volumetric of the building by minimizing its physical  outlook and enlarging the existing park green as a public open green area, including the green grass covered hill (as an public open air stage) containing the Music Dome. Meiji street is a main street in the heart of Tokyo, Takeshita street a very narrow pedestrian shopping street, very frequently visited by especially young people. The construction site of the Tokyo Music Hall is part of the city block in the area of the bordering Togo Shrine with its green public park. Beside the Togo Shrine and its park is also a marriage hall, the Harajukugaien Junior High School (with park and pool), the Ward Chūō Library, and a police station.

 

All together the green area of the block will become an even more attracting field in the density of Tokyo centre. Tokyo Music Dome will become an iconic building by creating a situation without showing classical elements like facades.
