  • Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building
    Special edition paper Preservation and Restoration of Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building Atsushi Hayashi* Isamu Suzuki** Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building is a huge structure—an over 330 m-long and three-story high brick building completed as the central station of Tokyo about 100 years ago. The roof and the inside were burnt down in 1945 during World War II, and it had existed in a temporarily restored form since then. For the purpose of preservation and restoration of the building to its original appearance, an isolation system was adopted. Although the building has a complex location relative to nearby structures, as many as 352 isolators with 158 oil dampers have made it possible to control the shaking of the building. This work was carried out safely while many passengers used one of Japan's largest terminal stations every day. •Keywords: Preservation and restoration, Steel frame brick structure, Seismic isolation structure, Oil damper, Inverted construction method 1 Introduction had hotel guest rooms and restaurants on the southern half and Government Railway offices on the northern half. Advancement of urban functions and “formation of an urban space that makes the most of history and culture” are being promoted in Tokyo’s Marunouchi district with an aim of Tokyo being a “world-leading international city that is attractive and lively.” Tokyo Station Marunouchi Building bears a particularly important role in railway architectural history, presenting a “face” Fig. 1 Original Exterior View for the capitol of Tokyo. Its cultural value has been recognized, and it was designated an important cultural property of Japan 2.3 Earthquake and War in May 30, 2003.

Shaping Tokyo: Land Development and Planning Practice in the Early Modern Japanese Metropolis Carola Hein Manuscript submitted to the Journal of Urban History in August 2007, revised and resubmitted March 2008. When German architect Bruno Taut drove in 1936 along the major road linking Tokyo and Yokohama, he criticized the inadequacy and superficiality of the modernizing Japanese built landscape. He later wrote about his revulsion: "I in particular had heard so much about Tokyo that I had no desire to see the city on the spot. […] In passing through the Inland Sea we had absorbed scenery of such rare beauty, had found so little of vulgar trash 1 in such buildings as could be glimpsed, that we could hardly take in the crabbed pretentiousness, the ludicrous would-be modernity of the tin façades that confronted us, could not fathom the loud hideousness of this confusion of architectural styles.
