Liminal space · Aichi, Japan

Oasis 21

A multilevel park in the heart of Sakae that combines a park, a bus terminal and shops in one structure. It opened in 2002. A thin layer of water covers the top of its large glass roof, the Spaceship-Aqua, and patterns of light sway across the open plaza below. Standing on the empty roof or in the plaza early in the morning or late at night, you feel as if you have been left behind inside a vision of the future that people once imagined.
