Yokohama ferry terminal japan- Foreign Architects

Computers were used to create this revolutionary design with its roof landscape, and flow of surface. The architects say they saw their design as a chained sequence of movement. The roof space is integrated with the rest of the space rather than been treated like a leftover from the interior there is an interplay created between the surfaces of the roof and the spaces below. Both inside and out this terminal is treated as a landscape the surfaces acting as a flow from the surrounding park. The building has a spatial continuity it has been described as a machine for movement created in architecture. It is also a transition space having different meanings for different people, for locals, its main function is as a park; for arrivals it is the first connection to the mainland. http://www.architectureweek.com/2002/0619/design_1-2.html
