yokohama

Mais um dia de loucos com japoneses. Visita a Yokohama com 674574 coisas para fazer, sempre a correr de um lado para o outro para não perder comboios...
Deram-me 20 mn para visitar o Terminal International desenhado pelos FOA, a dupla Zaera Polo/Moussavi... Claramente insuficientes! O edifício é uma loucura, um desafio permanente e nem quero pensar na complicação que deve ter sido construído! Resultado: atrasei-me no sobe e desce das rampas de madeira e... perdemos o comboio! Oooops! Sumimasen!

E para verem que não sou só eu deixo-vos um excerto da entrevista dos FOA na Croquis:

“We did suffer a mayor shock when we started the project. And that was not really due to the technicalities of the project. It was not about wheter the structure was too dificult or the building was too expensive or was buildable or not. It was about having to work with a very different culture where peple communicate in a very different way. In a way we were lucky the project took so long to start because we learnt to deal with the specificities of the system. It allowed us to become quite effective in working and engaging with Japanese culture”

ah pois é!
