WORLD PLAZA Imabari
Reframing a Commercial Space to Carry Local Memory into the Future
| Revitalization of a timeless commercial facility
Imabari World Plaza opened in 1998 and is a commercial facility that has been a beloved local presence for a quarter of a century.
The purpose of this renewal plan is to re-edit the facility's appeal and rebuild its ties with the local community.
| The balance between "changing" and "preserving"
Adding newness to a place that has been loved for many years requires a balance between updating and intentionally retaining the parts that need to be renewed.
This plan aimed to respect the memories contained within the facility and create a place that would be loved by people of all generations.
| Towards a space rooted in the everyday life of the local community
Although it is a commercial facility, it is also a place that you can drop in to as an extension of your daily life.
We aim to become a hub that fosters local vitality and interaction by providing a space that gently connects the city and its people, and the stores and visitors.
