Sugamo Shinkin Bank - Nakaaoki branch - exterior

The fragmentation present on it, comprised of twelve blocks that double as plant containers, aims to mimic the dynamism of the location the bank is located in: a major intersection with heavy pedestrian and transportation flux. The facade looks different depending on the angle it's being looked at, thus following and interacting with the onlooker as they pass by it.

The plants present on the facade fulfill not only a decorative role but a utilitarian one: they filter the sun in summer, acting as an ephemeral screen. The colors present on the cubes and the flowers in them are meant to play a visual melody that brings happiness and comfort to the people who see it.
