The architect Yoshio Taniguchi, who is currently in charge of the exterior design of GINZA SIX, writes the Nikkei Shimbun's "My Resume" every day, and I look forward to it every day, but if I read the 27th this morning, "!" I found a description and went to "confirmation" immediately.
Two months have passed since the opening of the business, but the flow of people around 6-chome gives the impression that it has been quite different from before. Did you know that there is a "Code Training Center Monument" in the planting in front of the Chuo-dori of this building? It's a small rectangular shape, so it's likely to overlook it, but it's the birthplace of Hitotsubashi University with a black stone roof on a red stone. We know that "1875 (1895) Arinori Mori opened as a private school was repeatedly renamed and reorganized, and Hitotsubashi University was established in 1949 (1949)" (Shimonoshiri Encyclopedia, Chuo-ku). It will be that many. I knew that there was a "Code Training Center Monument" on the front and "Hitotsubashi University Birthplace" on the side facing the road, but this time I confirmed the side. There was!
It's "Design Yoshiro Taniguchi". Yoshiro Taniguchi is the father of Yoshio Taniguchi, a professor at Tokyo Institute of Technology who is famous for designing the Higashimiya Imperial Palace, the Tokyo Museum of Modern Art, Meiji Village, and others. Yoshio Taniguchi is written as follows. "About 10 years ago when I started working on the design of GINZA SIX, I noticed something walking along Chuo-dori. The name of my father was engraved as the designer of the monument. I was really surprised when I discovered the smallest architecture in Ginza in front of Ginza's largest architecture that started designing," a family of a Chinese tourist was taking a commemorative photo in front of the monument. It's a bit fun to say, "The big and small works of the architect's father and child are lined up on the street."
"Code Training Center Monument" faces Ginza 6-10 Chuo-dori.
