Canopy for General Togo Memorial Park

Texts

Canopy for General Togo Memorial Park, one of the earthquake recovery parks. The park is adjacent to an elementary school and surrounded by small stores and restaurants. It is 5 m wide, 6 m long, and 2.5 m high, and is located on a tiered deck at the entrance of the park. A bench is placed in the center to provide a base for people to view the schoolyard or take a lunch break. It is a general-purpose design consisting of only two elements: a roof of 6mm steel sandwich panels and built-up box columns.
