Namba Parks by Jerde Architecture Posted: 03 May 2014 11:11 PM PDT The Namba Parks Building designed by Jerde in Osaka. The 3.7 hectare site of the former Nankai Stadium presented a prime redevelopment opportunity in Osaka. Given the site's position as one of the few great nodes of human arrival into Osaka, local rail conglomerate Nankai Electric Railway decided to convert the site into a new urban center that would serve as a gateway to the city. Project Description: “Namba Parks forms a dramatic new identity for the city. Alongside a 30-story office tower and 46-story residential tower, the project features a new lifestyle commercial center with a rooftop park that crosses multiple blocks while gradually ascending eight levels from the streets of the city. The sloping nature of the park serves as a green and highly visible oasis in a city where nature is sparse. By connecting to the street, the sloping park plane will draw people up and into the project among groves of trees, green spaces, water features and outdoor terraces, where they can dine, read, socialize, or simply taking in views of the city.” The post Namba Parks by Jerde Architecture appeared first on Architecture Magazine.
