Fukuoka, Japan, was in need of a new government
office building and the only available site was a large
two-block park that also happened to be the last
remaining green space in the city center. Ambasz was
awarded the commission for successfully achieving
reconciliation between these two opposing aims:
maintaining the green space of the eisting park while
providing the city of Fukuoka with a multi-use,
symbolically decisive building. !nder the building"s
fourteen one-story terraces lie more than one million
s#uare feet of space, containing an ehibition hall,
museum, $%%%-seat proscenium theater, conference
facilities, &%%,%%% s#uare feet of government and
private offices, as well as large underground parking
and retail spaces.
