Asphalt Spot is a landscape project in rural
Japan by
French architects
R&Sie. The project is a hybrid between landscape art and infrastructure. It contains 20-space car park that looks as if it has been struck by an earthquake. It’s really amazing and funny.
Asphalt Spot was completed in 2003 as part of the
Echigo-Tsumari Art Triennial 2003 – a cultural festival that saw 157 artists and architects from 23 countries produce 224 artworks in the
Shinano Basin of
Niigata Prefecture.
Designed by Parisian architects
R&Sie, Asphalt Spot integrated visitor facilities and parking. Yet the architects treated the project as an art installation itself, designing a structure that mimics the bumpy terrain and merges seamlessly with the surrounding landscape.
There is also an exhibition hall, which is used as a venue for art exhibitions. The hall is punctuated by a forest of leaning concrete columns that hold up the car park above and which have been covered in canvas sleeves, as has the underside of the ceiling.
The Asphalt Spot project is really useful and don’t change the environmental structure of the nature. Everything is in cooperation with surrounded nature.
