eXeField Akiba
A spatial platform that connects people and regions through "ICT x eSports"
- Commercial Spaces
-
It will have a play area, a broadcasting area, an ICT area, and a cafe area that can be used for a wide range of purposes. In addition, it will be possible to create a virtual space using design data from the actual facility, allowing them to complement each other.
-
A space that can flexibly accommodate a variety of e-sports competitions, seminars, exhibitions, etc.
-
By deliberately displaying equipment such as server racks and operation desks on the front side, the facility also functions as Showrooms for e-sports operators.
-
The façade is open to the outside, making the facility welcoming to everyone.
-
The e-sports play module can be expanded to fit the floor grid, allowing for flexible layout changes.
-
At the opening ceremony, a facility introduction was given in conjunction with the virtual space.
-
Unlike traditional e-sports facilities, which tend to be dark spaces, the black and white two-tone color scheme creates a new image.
-
A virtual space will also be set up where participants can participate remotely using avatars and watch live viewing.
-
The name of the facility and Logo Design were also proposed. By combining it with e-sports, we were conscious of creating new technologies and connections between people.

About the Project
| Overview | eXeField Akiba is an exchange facility that creates a new culture and society through "ICT x eSports." Equipped with cutting-edge ICT and the latest equipment, it aims to establish the culture of eSports among a wide range of people, form a community, and develop eSports-related technology by providing a place that connects people and regions with each other and with the latest equipment. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | The aim is to create a flexible space that can accommodate a wide range of facility configurations, not just as a traditional e-sports facility capable of hosting a variety of e-sports competitions, but also to exhibit products and technologies related to e-sports and even conduct experimental operations on them. |
| Space Solution/Realization | eXeField Akiba will not be in its final form when it opens, but rather has been designed with the idea of creating a "spatial platform" that will allow the space itself to evolve through repeated trial and error as it is operated. In addition to adopting a design and creating mechanisms that allow anyone to easily change the layout to suit how the facility is used, the facility will also feature a virtual space with the same configuration as the actual facility, allowing the real and virtual to flexibly complement each other. |

Creative Direction
Jun Yamashita
We consider designs that are centered on the "experience" of people who visit a real space. We use the power of design to propose and realize solutions for the "experience" required in a wide range of fields, including entertainment, e-Sports-related events and permanent stores, corporate Showrooms, retail stores, and events.
