Reimei Kobashi, a pedestrian bridge in Chuo-ku, Tokyo, for which Hoshino Architects Inc. served as the Master Design Architect, has been awarded the Encouragement Prize in the Art & Craft Category at the 2025 AACA Awards, organized by the Japan Association of Artists, Craftsmen & Architects. — the Pedestrian Bridge “Reimei Kobashi” — The Reimei Kobashi footbridge, which connects Kachidoki Station and Harumi 3-chome in Tokyo’s waterfront district, opened to the public on March 25, 2024. This footbridge crosses the Asashio Canal to Grand Marina Tokyo with a soft arching design reminiscent of gentle waves rolling over the water's surface. The continuous white structure of the bridge hovering above emphasizes the beauty of the waves using the subtle movement in the rhythm of the water's surface. The shadow of the bridge cast onto the water's surface tantalizes the imagination even more with a congregation of waves seeming to wash over one another. The design presenting one fluid motion from three-dimensional geometric changes delights pedestrians walking across with that feel of movement.
