The latticed facade of this Tokyo bookstore by Klein Dytham Architecture comprises hundreds of interlocking T-shapes that subtly reference the logo of entertainment retailer Tsutaya.
¡°The T idea for the project came to us during the initial briefing session with the CEO of Tsutaya,¡± architect Mark Dytham told Dezeen. ¡°He was hoping for an iconic building, branded in a non-branded way, without having to rely on signage.¡± ¡°ÔÚÓëTsutayaÊ×ϯִÐйٽøÐгõ´Î¼ò½é»áÆڼ䣬ÎÒÃDZãÓÐÁËÔÚÕâ¸öÏîĿʹÓÃT×ÖÐÎ×´µÄÏë·¨¡£¡±½¨ÖþʦMark Dytham¸æËßDezeen£¬¡°ËûÏ£ÍûÓÐÕâôһ¸ö±êÖ¾ÐԵĽ¨Öþ£¬ÌåÏÖÆ·ÅÆÉ̱꣬µ«ÒÔÒ»ÖÖÎÞÆ·ÅÆÉ̱êµÄ·½Ê½£¬²»ÒÀ¿¿ÈκÎͼ°¸±êʶ¡£¡±
The little shapes also combine to create larger Ts on the elevations of the three buildings that make up the complex. ÕâЩСµÄ¹¹¼þ×éºÏÆðÀ´£¬ÔÚ×ÛºÏÌåµÄÈý¶°½¨ÖþµÄÁ¢ÃæÉÏÒ²´´ÔìÁ˸ü´óµÄT×ÖÐÎ×´¡£
The grid created by the shapes lines up with the structural systems, and Dytham explained how this helped them to ¡°determine the general layout¡± of each building. ÓÉT×ÖÐÎ×´µÄ¹¹¼þÉú³ÉµÄÍø¸ñÓë½á¹¹ÏµÍ³¶ÔÆ룬Dytham½âÊÍÁËÕâЩÊÇÔõô°ïÖúËûÃÇÈ·¶¨Ã¿¶°Â¥µÄ×ÜÌå²¼¾Ö¡£

Externally, KDa¡¯s characteristic wit emerges in subtle ways ¨C the perforated screens of the façade are formed from the Ts of the Tsutaya logo, and much larger T-shapes are disguised in the building plans and elevations.
