I’m researching the term «hike-ability» in a Tokyo con-
text, a method that seeks to investigate expansion of
public space above ground floor, by means of vertical
movement.
Mobility in the 20th century is characterized by the
combination of horizontal (vehicular) and vertical (eleva-
tor) movement. The efficiency of this system has so far
defined our framework of space. But perhaps it is time
to consider a new logic that is based on a wider prem-
ise. The possibility of a three-dimentional mobility, the
redefinition of building boundaries, and the reconsidera-
tion of the relationship between the citys geography and
climate-Akihisa Hirata.
