LOCATIONSanjo Ohashi on Kamogawa River, Kyoto, Japan.

PROJECT TEAMMadison Silva, USAPoo Voon Kent, MalaysiaZheng Han John, SingaporeNami Morita, JapanAya Sasaki, Japan

CONCEPTDesigning a meeting point in Kyoto city to allow busy pedestrians to stop what they are doing for a few minutes and remind themselves of the valuable moments in their lives.The idea is inspired by the moment when a kimono painter envision the final product just before he starts his work. The moment in time when the past connects with the future. Skills of the past to weave the future.

TOP VIEW

THE STRUCTURESupported by the existing pillars of the old Sanjo Ohashi bridge, Kamogawa Point moves away from the history of the old bridge, while retaining the origin of the river.

THE STAIRUnfinnished drawings along the stair represent the process of Kimono painting, leading audiences to the center point where spots of colors are seen, which signifies the near of the end result. The Obi-shaped roof filters direct sunlight in the summer and provides the audiences shelter in the winter.

CENTER POINTThe center point functions as a meeting point. Set above the middle of the bridge and the river, this spot reflects the contrast of the busy lives and the calm water. Every second is different and unique, each with its own moment. The giant clock on the floor of the center point represents this factor through its vigorous movements and ever-changing axis. The audiences cannot tell the time from any direction they stand. They are to lose sense of time and to think of their own important moments in life.
