Grin Grin Park, Island City Fukuoka Japan


Toyo Ito designed Grin Grin Central Park on a manmade island in Hakata Bay in Fukuoka Japan. Island City uses the park to establish recreational and natural space in the midst of an economic hub.

Three buildings are tucked underground, arranged in a meandering axis. Raised walk-ways wind around botanical gardens and ribbon windows into the softly curved domes. The domed shells sometimes break to give patio shelter and sometimes meet the ground. Skylights layer atop the vegetation with human function space below.

A clever imitation of nature, it is all man-made. It gives insight into the clever forms man can sculpt out of nature. But does this complex fail to realize that nature is always in control after all, a very important fact?? What are the design strategies for tsunamis?
