Chokkura Plaza
In his signature style, architect Kengo Kuma celebrates material in this innovative design for an exhibition and assembly space in Tochigi, Japan.
The Ooya stone is stacked in pairs and woven into a basket like surface.
The Building
The Chokkura Plaza community hall is located near the Hoshakuji station. The Plaza provides for an assembly hall and exhibition gallery in a site already containing an abandoned rice storage house constructed in Ooya stone.
A round-about is located at the west end of the site and its east exit is closed.

The design attempts to create a sound building representing the image of the town through a careful use of material.
