-LV in Roppongi Hills Store-


Jun Aoki design, similar to Kengo Kuma,  is always focus on Dematerialization... employing  the new ideas in how to put materials together in a new way.

There are two types of design in the Facade, First it is the 10cm diameter glass tube with 30cm long sandwiched in between glasses. It create a dynamic facade that has different quality depends on the viewer angles and lightings/day and night.

While another interior partition is to have a "skin" made of intersecting metal rings which establish a sense of dynamic without blocking the view.
As the design intention is to have ''the store to be transformable, so it could evolve seasonally or even daily '' Aoki.







Statement :
As meeting a good client that able to tolerate period of schematic design and accepting  new design ideas is the key to allow architects and designer to explore new way of making a better facade. Commonly, it's the budget the constraint the exploration and innovation.In Contradict, the badget is also the another way of exploring the possibly of design in a restrained state.
