japanese firm curiosity have just completed the design of the uniqlo megastore
which opened near shinjuku station in tokyo. the new design is strongly influenced
by the tokyo urban landscape and the large entrance, marked with three display towers,
recreates a mini-shinjuku city. as the lighting floor wraps the towers in a glow of light
that illuminates the surrounding streets, the shop becomes an active element of
the street: attractive and secure.
the façade is composed of two surfaces with geometrical lit lines. the lines make
the materiality of the facade and architecture disappear so that only the uniqlo logos
remain at night.

the layout and angulations of the towers blur the boundaries between the street
and the retail space.
