Informed by the traditional Japanese Pagoda, a contemporary structural language of stepped loads has emerged. Applied to the city of Tokyo, this system has responded to the unpredictable and devastating threat of conflagration. Operating across a variety of scales – from day-to-day life to the event of fire, and from individual intervention to urban strategy – the Kitasenju Fire Wall safeguards local communities whilst contributing to a city of ever-increasing density.
