Makuhari Messe I is a convention center designed to accommodate exhibition, conferences and other events, and to symbolize Makuhari as a new city center outside of Tokyo. Beyond satisfying a variety of function and capacity requirements, each program space is given its own specific expression, creating a festive urbanism. Contemporary, and technologically driven details at a large scale combined with more delicate details at the human scale to produce a sense of density and warmth, despite the large scale of the project.
