AR MIPIM 2010 Future Projects Awards- Retail & Leisure Winner

Retail and Leisure Winner - Frank la Rivière Architects
Nebuta-No-Ie-Warasse, Japan, Aomori-City

The judges described this as a joyful and elegant response to the whole idea of display. The restraint of the elegant, frozen wrap which is the architecture is a perfect foil to the exuberance of the Nebuta figures

Designed to celebrate Nebuta Art, Nebuta-No-Ie-Warasse houses exhibits ranging from Nebuta craft to music and dance.

A screen of twelve meter tall steel ribbons enclose an outdoor walkway. Each ribbon is uniquely sculpted, forming openings for light, views and passageways, whilst providing shelter from the winter snow and summer sun.

There is a a fluidity between performance, music and hall spaces. Both the restaurant and the multi-purpose space for community events offer glimpses into the Nebuta Hall as well as views to the sea.
