－Value up Nihonbashi, the center of Edo culture, with the power of landscape -
Under the theme of this event, a student idea competition organized by the Japan Society of Landscaping is being held.
This competition was held in February as part of the conference's national convention, and there were 58 applications from domestic and foreign students, and as a result of the primary screening, 11 were advanced to the secondary screening.
19, including these 11, were on display at the underground concourse of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro until May 26.
The content of the competition is based on the historical characteristics of the Nihonbashi River from Edobashi to Tokiwa Bridge and the Chuo-dori from Eidai-dori to Koza-dori, and the history of the bridge since the bridge was built in 1903, the activities of the Nihonbashi Preservation Society, and the recent development trends in the surrounding area, making it a Tokyo landmark that has been around since the Edo period and has fewer parks, plazas and greenery.
At the underground concourse of Mitsukoshimae Station, attractive ideas proposals from various angles were exhibited from students from the United States, China, and Turkey, including Japan.
However, since the competition outline stipulates that "the Metropolitan Expressway will remain as it is," all proposals are proposals for the Metropolitan Expressway over Nihonbashi. I feel a little disappointed that I wanted to see the proposals when removing the city height. .
On May 24, a public presentation, examination committee and panel discussion were held at Tokyo Securities Hall in Kabutocho 1-chome, and the winners were announced and commended at Chiba University on the 25th.
