Buil.climb

Architect Manabu Chiba focuses on bicycles to propose a new vision of future urban planning that overlaps with the real world through AR technology.

Buil.climb is a new landmark for cyclists, where they can ride their bicycles up and down the valleys between buildings. The path, which is 2km long, with an elevation difference of 200m and a gradient of 8%, will be an attraction for cyclists that cannot be experienced in other cities.
Buil.climb is also a linear complex encompassing commercial spaces, offices, and hotels planned by reinterpreting the open space of the Tokyo Expressway (commonly known as the KK Expressway), which is gradually ending its role with the changing times. The area is a place for new ways of working, living, and spending time in the city, organically connected to a network of road and rail lines. But as mobility undergoes a revolution, Buil.climb reinterprets the city of Tokyo from the perspective of the bicycle in a form of bicycle urbanism that depicts the city of the future.
