When Japanese developer Fukuoka Jisho bought a nine-acre site in the distressed center of Fukuoka  they were determined to build a project that would revive the citys heart; to that end  they called on the Jerde Partnership. Bound by this common vision  Fukuoka Jisho and the Jerde Partnership negotiated language and cultural differences  one of Japans worst economic recessions  and numerous redesigns in a co-creative process that yielded a unique outcome. Colorful and spirited  the project defies Japanese rules for retail development  yet Canal City has had over 30 million visitors since its 1996 opening  attracting teenagers and businesspeople alike. It is considered one of the most important architectural works of the twentieth century. Uniquely contextual yet defiantly flamboyant  Canal City Hakata serves as a model of true creative collaboration and shows what can happen when two cultures joyfully collide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67902328012853,"sku":"ByrdShop_1890449067","price":145.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781890449063.jpg?v=1793821709","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/jon-jerde-in-japan-designing-the-spaces-between-9781890449063","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
