This is the "Future of Danchi" project for the renovation of the Yohkodai Chuo Danchi completed in 1970. Kengo Kuma and creative director Kashiwa Sato are involved in the renovation and repair of the complex, as well as a variety of other activities such as events and information dissemination. Following the repair of the exterior walls in the first phase, the plaza was renovated. A new deck was built on the second floor of the residential building to provide direct access to the second floor residences, and part of the existing second floor residences was converted into shops. In addition, new benches are installed along the stairs to create a space for people to stay.
