Abstract

The aim of this paper is to clarify characteristics of intersections in the center district of Tokyo in terms of spatial compositions with surroundings. Initially, the configurations of intersections are analyzed through the street patterns, nearby infrastructures such as rivers or elevated traffics, and its topography. Secondly, the building volumes are analyzed as a combination of building rows with features of the corner lots.<br> Finally, 9 spatial types are clarified based on 3 characteristics: axis by street patterns and nearby infrastructures, centrality by buildings at the corner lots, and boundary by arrangement of buildings.
