神奈川大厦位于日本历史性贸易中心、著名的横滨港附近。这里原是位于狭窄街道上的杂乱建筑。日本建筑法规要求根据街道宽度来限制建筑物高度,以使街道上能有最小日照量。因此,这一地区的建筑物都趋向于朝地段边界扩展,以保证最大的建筑容量;而上部则通常成斜线退进。这造成这里的建筑物都紧靠地界建造,使路上的行人有压迫感。由于街道狭窄,神奈川大厦的地段几乎在三面都受到限制,这严重地约束了设计。在这项设计中,主要应考虑它同周围都市环境的关 Kanagawa Building is located near the historic Japanese trade center and the famous Yokohama Port. It was originally a messy building on a narrow street. Japanese building regulations require that the height of a building be limited according to the width of the street so that there is a minimum amount of sunlight on the street. As a result, buildings in this area tend to expand toward the boundaries of the lot to ensure maximum building capacity; while the upper part is usually receded diagonally. This caused the buildings here to be built close to the boundary, making pedestrians on the road feel oppressed. Because of the narrow streets, the Kanagawa Building’s lot is restricted on almost all sides, which severely restricts the design. In this design, it should mainly consider its relevance to the surrounding urban environment.
