Standing out from the its surrounding context, spaceFRAME is an infrastructural insertion that displays and celebrates the various systems that allow it to function as a haven for partygoers, karaoke singers, gamers, and shoppers—everything from utility ducts to structural members to computer servers for online gaming and cloud computing.

 

Elevated above street level, spaceFRAME is also a threshold between two distinct nodes of urban activity, inciting the passage of pedestrians and allowing activities in the private sphere to become insinuated within the public realm

 

Much like its surrounding commercial signage, spaceFRAME acts as a billboard of sorts by projecting the activity of the individual karaoke rooms through the filtered façade of the building.

 

Open to the dense activity of Akihabara, spaceFRAME is both a space of spectacle and speculation.
