The Seibu Otsu Shopping Center, designed by Kiyonori Kikutake in 1976, is going to be destroyed.
He turned the emergency stairs, which is usually a negative element, into a beauty of form by placing them excessively. However, the emergency never came and the stairs were never used by people.
I reinterpret and expand this excessive and useless staircases system in Seibu Otsu Shopping Center. I designed new buildings adjacent to the part of the original structure and reconstructed space of stairs that is connected to people’s activities. Thus, I convert the original architecture to the shopping and apartment complex. This is a project to change the “emergency staircases” into an “daily staircases”.
