Toki Messe is a convention complex located on Bandaijima Peninsula, at the estuary of the Shinano River. It is comprised of a large exhibition hall, conference rooms, an auditorium, and an atrium. The atrium serves as the central entrance, connecting a hotel, office, and commercial center. A 350m long public esplanade offers panoramic views toward the river and connects the entire complex. Overall, Toki Messe is characterized by an extremely transparent and ephemeral metal and glass facade, and expresses a simple, but strong architectural parti combining horizontality and verticality - a distinguished silhouette in the new landscape design of Bandaijima.
