Comment by Mr. Hideo Mori
The silhouette is beautiful with the sun setting and the sunset leaving details at the top of the stadium.
There is certainly the presence of the stadium in the wide sky, and the moon above the head is also an exquisite timing.

Comment by Mr. Hideo Mori
It is a picture of a luxury cruise ship landing at the port, and it suddenly overlaps with the apartment in the background, and it suddenly feels like an overseas landscape.
Seabus also enters, and it is a good shutter opportunity.

Comment by Mr. Hideo Mori
It is a place that has become a familiar place for Yokohama citizens, but the slow shutter trajectory reflected on Sakura Mirai Bridge is well utilized, making it a well-balanced work.

Title "The ruins of Negishi Racecourse at dusk"
Winners: @roshi_1010


 



Director of the Architectural Bureau
The contrast between the hustle and bustle of the racetrack, which has no right now, and the high-rise buildings seen in the distance, makes you feel history.
Combined with the sunset and the flow of clouds, the flow of the times reminds us of the times, and the depth of the building is increasing.

What is the Yokohama City Public Building 100th Anniversary Project?

Explanation of the origin of public architecture

On April 1, 1922, the "Building Division" was born in an administrative organization in Yokohama City, where there were no "bureaus" or "parts" in the organization. .
In order to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of the Building Division on April 1, 2022 (2022), we will take this opportunity to look back on the history of public architecture and plan the "100th Anniversary Project" to connect to the next 100 years.

Purpose and Significance of Business

Through the 100th anniversary project, we will encourage many people to further enhance their familiarity and attachment to public buildings and enliven the construction industry. With the occasion of the 100th anniversary, we will lead to the maintenance of public buildings that citizens can be proud of more than ever.
