Passage, portico, cafe, pause, passage, portico, cafe, interaction - This arrangement of words gives an interpretation of the hidden and obvious scenario of this cafe. A cafe near one of the main squares of the capital and ironically adjacent to one of the suburban terminals and a possibility for a first meeting. The cafe in its nature has the characteristic of creating interaction and companionship, and although this interaction does not necessarily happen through speech and Maybe a moment of pause and look and passing is a memorable interaction itself. Although stoicism was once for stoicism, today they are created in the desire to create a connection. A pause and a gesture, or a greeting, a gesture, or a look and a gesture, all bring to mind one thing, a motivation derived from an inner impulse that tries to communicate. An invitation that is expressed without any care and there are no boundaries to enter.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The porticoes here have a friendly construction not only with the passers-by and its inhabitants, but they have created a delicate co-embrace with their old building. The porticoes were born in their most delicate state and supported by stout columns, they ensured their survival. Their creation did not end with the connection between passing and passing, and this connection has expanded from passing to inside and all its internal layers. The result of this expansion and communication was the construction of self-made spaces whose creation and survival depended only on living together. The project was formed and evolved from layers, whose goal was not to be just a normal layer, but rather an opportunity to create a less space and maybe not experienced at all. The layers that create the scenario of pause, transition and space in a combined way from the outside to the inside of the building and vice versa. A bold look at the central view and the division of the entrance space in the "Z" axis, although the central layers divide the space in the "X" and "Y" axes, but in the central view, this division takes place in the "Z" axis, and also It changes the relationship of the space in the vertical relationship in an oscillation from the highest to the lowest height.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The scenario of pause, passage, interaction continues in the space - On the ground floor, by creating a library space in the small space at the end of the hall, in addition to creating a vertical connection in the space, it emphasizes the physical connection in the horizontal axes of the building. The library space was the product of the connection of the layers with the empty space that they created within themselves and created an opportunity to create interactive and social spaces around them. The social table on the ground floor gives a place to create to the passers-by who have entered to experience togetherness in a new way. On the first floor, the layers continue to live and depend on creating a space to stay. In this project, the portico and its layers have an invitation without a frame to pass through it and retell the portico with a contemporary definition for its contemporaries and provide the opportunity to live the building with its passage.

Waterscape Office / co-lab gotanda with JPRE / Moriyuki Ochiai Architects and Harumaki ProjectSave this picture! Daisuke ShimaOffices InteriorsShinagawa City, JapanArchitects: Moriyuki Ochiai Architects and Harumaki ProjectAreaArea of this architecture projectArea:600 mYearCompletion year of this architecture project Year: 2024 PhotographsPhotographs:Daisuke Shima Lead Architects: Moriyuki Ochiai Architects and Harumaki Project More SpecsLess SpecsSave this picture!The light of transient waves reflecting fleeting changes in nature and time We designed shared office spaces intended to bring together a diversity of Japanese manufacturing companies and spark the co-creation of new cultural and business values through organic exchanges.Save this picture!Deliverables included spaces that stimulate creativity and foster interaction among the diverse artisans working in the shared office who promote the use of traditional Japanese manufacturing techniques. Moreover, we sought to reflect on the history of the district of Gotanda, an area whose name echoes its rural rice farming origins. Thus the idea is to create an office space that harmoniously incorporates these elements.Save this picture!A kimono is born from a single piece of cloth, origami is the art of transforming a single sheet of paper into various forms. Furoshiki is a single piece of cloth used to wrap objects of all shapes and sizes. Limited resources have spurred a variety of Japanese innovations that have made their way into the creation of everyday goods. In celebration of this cultural heritage, we endeavored to create a space that satisfies various functions and requirements through the ingenious volume of a simple flat surface, made of aluminum, a limited material.Save this picture!Here, a single "recycled" aluminum sheet is spread across the entire ceiling and fills the space with waves full of fresh vitality, reflecting light and producing soft glimmers like that of the sunlight shining on the surface of the paddy fields of yesteryear. The beautifully overlapping metallic waves create areas of different heights and expanses of space that change freely, just as water flows in a lively and reactive manner, thus suffusing the area with the necessary functions and atmosphere.Save this picture!In the entrance area, the intense flow of the waves creates a dynamic space where the height of the space changes vertically in a dramatic fashion, giving visitors a strong sense of movement, and promoting stimulating encounters and ideas. In the sofa lounge and desk areas, the waves become calmer and the height of the space increases, providing an environment geared for relaxation and concentration along with a sense of openness.Save this picture!In the bar and kitchen areas, the waves are kept low and calm, creating an intimate space for people to liven up and enjoy deeper conversations. Sunny and cloudy skies, sunrise and dusk, and other seasonal and daily changes in natural light are experienced with subtlety, allowing for a variety of atmospheric spatial experiences depending on the location of visitors and the passage of time.Save this picture!The beautifully transient overarching waterscape creates a poetic rhythm in response to the changes in environmental light, producing a mysterious radiance imbued with profound depth that enhances the enjoyment and pleasure of artisans engaged in creative activities.Save this picture!Sustainable Design Methods We used "recycled" aluminum sheets for this space project. Moreover, since they give the space its singularity, we adapted the assembly method of the aluminum ceiling parts so as to be able to disassemble and reinstall them when moving the business to a different location. In doing so, we devised a way to effectively reduce the waste, and the cost of store relocation, and create a recycling-oriented society.Save this picture!Project gallerySee allShow lessProject locationAddress:Shinagawa City, JapanLocation to be used only as a reference.

While Monopoly GO maintains the core dice-rolling and property-building mechanics of the original board game, it also introduces new elements and features tailored for mobile gaming. The initial gameplay appears pretty straightforward, but as the players level up, the challenges intensify.

Starting in 1939 (under the company title Timely Publications), Marvel Comics has a long history of compelling villains who have transitioned from page to screen. From cosmic conquerors to street-level schemers, these antagonists have challenged heroes and shaped the Marvel Cinematic Universe. But not all villains get a chance to linger in the shadows or plot their next move.

Black Ops 6 and Warzone feature fast-paced action. From diving into a match of Team Deathmatch in Multiplayer or competing in nonstop gunfights in Resurgence, both games offer a little something for everyone, whether it be laid-back casual fun or high-stakes action. However, if players want to get a little more competitive, then kitting out their loadout with some of the best guns is recommended.
