YUFUIN TOURIST INFORMATION CENTER in Oita, Japan by Arphaville ArchitectsJanuary 20th, 2016 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Arphaville Architects Outline We proposed Tourist Information Center for Yufuin that is known as a spa town with many inns around Yufuin Station in the Yufuin tourist Information center competition. In the 2nd stage, we competed with Pritzker prize architect, Shigeru Ban.  Image Courtesy © Arphaville Architects

Start from here, an exciting journey is about to begin.

In order to separate motion and stillness in this space efficiently, we arrange the flow of pedestrian and vehicle in front of the station with some meeting points scattering around. Travellers can easily find their way in this busy but organised area.

By applying these elements throughout as design codes in the tourist information center and the entire front of the station, we would like to realise a coherent overall development of this area.
