Charn Langford 10


Yokohama International Port Terminal

The terminals design blends the outdoors with its inside spaces. The roof of the building is grassy and accessible to pedestrians. The building is strikingly simplistic and creates a peaceful space. It is a pier but it does not adhere to any traditional designs, it is a free flowing continuation of the urban environment it is connected to. The architects, Farshid Moussavi, Alejandro Zaera-Polo, then a married couple reinvented the notion of a pier in terms of function and form.
