Architecture Without ExteriorsIn Yokohama

古怪的横滨建筑——无外部结构

The Yokohama International Port Terminal in Japan is a new kind of contemporary architecture that turns against the form of buildings as representation of iconic architecture. The design team at Foreign Office Architects created the cruise ship terminal as an extension of the pier ground. The fluid and uninterrupted lines are folded like an origami into an unique structural system that allows its boarding level to seamlessly connect to the city's underground level. It is also especially adequate in coping with the lateral forces generated by the seismic movements known to affect the Japanese topography.

日本的横滨国际游客中心是一种新型的当代建筑，它打破了建筑的形式，成为极具代表性的标志性建筑。Foreign Office Architects建筑事务所的设计团队设计并完成了这个邮轮码头。该项工程是对码头地面部分的一个延伸。流体与不间断的线条像折纸一样折叠成一个独特的结构系统，从而保证登船平面无缝连接到城市的地平面。特别是，该建筑足以应对影响日本地形的地震运动所产生的横向力。
