"Go ahead of the sea!" (Grand roof completed)

[Koedo Itabashi] September 13, 2013 14:00

  ♪Beyond the sea, let's be friends~

   The flag of all nations♪

 

Early morning on Sunday, September 8th.

The 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games is a melody that resonated in my head when I heard the news that it was decided to be held in Tokyo and saw Yuki Ota, who expressed joy with his face swaying.

The Tokyo Olympics in 1964 were celebrated as a first-year elementary school student.

In the school auditorium, he sang loudly, waving a national flag.

Even now, humming is a song that is strongly engraved in consciousness.

My father, who watched the scene where the Hinomaru flag was displayed on the center pole on TV, embraced me while wiping tears, can also be remembered in distant memories.

 

Of course, I tried to add 7 to my age.

It's a feeling of excitement.

I would like to take this opportunity to see the competition directly.

I want to be involved in the Tokyo Olympics in some way, even as a volunteer or anything.

I thought so honestly.

 

According to the plan for 2020, a “Athlete Village” will be set up in Harumi, Chuo-ku, and will accept players and competition officials from each country.

One of the keywords is "O-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-T-Shi".

We welcome many people across the sea, airports, harbors, and railway terminals.

Tokyo Station is the main destination for domestic travel.

A new pick-up facility is waiting for the opening.

Following the Marunouchi Exit, where the red brick station building has been restored, a large roof of the Grand Roof and a pedistorian deck will be completed and opened on Friday, September 20 at Yaesu Exit.

 

 (The location of Tokyo Station is located in Chiyoda-ku, bordering Sotobori-dori St...

  Looking at the landscape, I write while thinking that it is safe. )

 

The gateway to Tokyo's main street, following Yaesu, Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, and Ginza, is well positioned.

A large roof like a sail of a sailing ship, like a water bird's feather, spreading its wings in the direction of the athlete village.

This large roof, Grand Roof, is based on the motif of "Sail of Light".

Modern design creates a cityscape that symbolizes advancedness and advancedness.

Greening walls, dry mist equipment, planting using rainwater and medium water to promote ecology.

A variety of commercial facilities will also open, and information transmission will increase.

As the pedistorian deck as the connection part of the ground, as well as the connection part that spreads underground, the migration will be further improved.

A traffic plaza with a taxi pool and bus Bath is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014.

 

How does a terminal with such a design look to the eyes of customers coming from overseas?

For some reason, why does everything feel like a stepping stone for 2020 come from the feeling of excitement that still continues?
