Toyota City Stadium 豊田スタジアム

Toyota City 2001

KUROKAWA Kishô

“The Toyota Stadium was originally designed to accommodate 60,000 spectators as it was chosen to be one of the fifteen cities for the Japan World-Cup Semi-Final Game. Later as Japan and South Korea cosponsored the World-Cup, the possible venues were reduced to ten cities, Toyota City in Aichi Prefecture was left out of the selection, despite the fact that it has the third largest population density. As a result, the design that was already in process, was fundamentally reviewed to accommodate a number of people reduced down to 45,000. In order to enable a multifunctional usage of the facility, a movable roof became an additional condition of the new design.”  (KUROKAWA Kisho 2006)    >>> Toyota Bridge
