About the Project

Overview As part of the 100th anniversary of Musashi Gakuen's founding, it was opened as an entrance to a place of learning that is open to the surrounding area and mainly targets prospective students.A welcoming space was created in front of the admissions center office, with a cocoon object at the center and a corridor that functions as a gallery with Video projections on graphics to promote "Musashi Seminar."
Issues/Themes The glass building (1st floor, Building 1) located near the main gate of the university was to be an impressive facility that embodied an "attitude of hospitality toward the students of the future who will lead the way in the future."
Space Solution/Realization Based on the concept of a "cocoon of knowledge," the cocoon object embodies the "Musashi Seminar" that is a distinctive feature of Musashi University, and acts as a soft partition between the open atrium space and the surrounding area, and also functions as a canopy creating a central gathering place. It was designed with the future of the students growing big in this place and spreading their wings and taking flight into the wider world in mind.
