ACROS Fukuoka (Fukuoka Symphony Hall)

Acros Fukuoka is a multi-use complex facility with a high public profile, integrating private functions such as offices and retail spaces together with prefectural facilities such as the symphony hall and international conference center around a huge central Atrium. the most distinctive characteristic of this facility is the Step Garden planned as a continuation of Tenjin Central Park.
By imaging the building as a mountain, the spaces and planting are designed to evoke the traditional themes of natural beauty of the passing seasons in Japanese art (花鳥風月: literally Flower, Bird, Wind and Moon). They form an urban oasis providing solace and relaxation to all passing through.
the greenery of the Step Garden has grown over time and even now thrive with almost no watering, pesticide or fertilizer use.
