About the Project
| Overview | "Pasar" is a roadside shopping facility operated by NEXCO East Japan that offers customers "a place to stop and take a break during your journey" and "a lively place where you can have fun during your trip." Pasar Moriya (upbound), the fifth Pasar, is located at the last rest point on the Joban Expressway heading towards Tokyo, and as an "epilogue gate" at the end of the journey, it has created a "bustling place overflowing with travel memories." In addition, it brings together stores that are appearing on the expressway for the first time and popular local stores, promoting the charm of Ibaraki throughout the facility. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | Based on the concept of "Forest of Blessings," which brings to mind the "lush green forest that has spread since ancient times," which is said to be the origin of the place name "Moriya," the project aims to express a scene in which sunlight gently filters through the trees. In addition, the project aims to create a facility that can be used as a disaster response room and first aid room in the event of a disaster, as a model location for a disaster prevention base project that will serve as a frontline base in the event of a wide-area disaster. |
| Space Solution/Realization | The design visualizes a forest grove on the large roof and food court, and allows Spatial Production to enjoy the scent of the forest and the sounds of forest animals with all five senses, creating a "forest of blessings." The facility also functions as a disaster prevention base by incorporating a variable layout. In a special environment where different functions are required both in normal times and in times of disaster, we created a facility that creates "connections" as a place of communication between customers and the local community (Moriya). |
