Tokyo Skytree Town ® Tokyo Solamachi ® | Tokyo, Japan, 2012 Site Area: 3.7 hectares | BUA: 230,000 sqm | Height: Floors below: 3. above: 7URBANIZING THE SUPERTALL NIKKEN SEKKEI URBANISMNEW URBAN LANDSCAPES082 _ 083Tobu Railway Co., Ltd. is the owner of Japan’s second longest private rail system excluding Japan Railway Company.In 1902 Tobu opened Azumabashi Station from where the network developed towards the northern metropolitan area of Tokyo. In 2006 the switchyard was chosen as the development site for a new terrestrial broadcasting tower, which in 2012 materialized in Tokyo Skytree®-a 634 m tall tower with two observation platforms affording views across the whole Tokyo metropolitan area.The base of the tall tower has quickly turned into a popular destination for both locals and tourists. In support of creating a universal destination, Tokyo Solamachi (lit. “Tokyo Sky Town”) was developed as a large shopping, dining and entertainment complex at the base of the Tokyo Skytree Town®.Challenged with the task to “humanize” the scale of the tallest broadcasting tower in the world, at podium level, the design took its inspiration from the site’s historical background, from a time when the site was a popular place for cultivating ornamental plants and gardening. The design of the commercial podium resembles a green hill with its green roofs and trees on multiple levels.While the tower is located in the central section, public plaza, deck, and commercial facilities stretch to the east and west from the center integrated with ample promenade space to promote good circulation. On the south side, the rst and second floors are connected to the waterside park along the Kitajikken canal, providing pleasant strolling with easy access to the surrounding town. The fourth oor is treated like a “hill,” and is approached from the public plazas at both the eastern and western ends by large stairways. The Tokyo Skytree East Tower office building is directly connected to the concourse of the Oshiage subway station.Showcasing Japan’s well-known attention to detail, Sky Arena open plaza on the fourth oor is predominantly covered by concrete pavers, reecting one of the more recent usages of the site as Japan's first ready-mix concrete factory. The paving pattern is based on a traditional striped pattern popular in the Edo period called tozanjima.
