- Zachary KILE & Miguel ABAUNZA, “Tokyo Adrift.” Section Model.
The parking garage is a mixed-use building that accepts non-hierarchically all cultures and constituencies from urban Tokyo. The interior spaces become locations for self-reflection, performance, and group engagement, all the while allowing the density of Japan to continue growing thanks to innovative mechanical parking structures.”
