The main concept of TRC is a game of contrasts. This is the combination of tradition and innovation, public and private, rigid and flexible in time and function.

The heart of the building is an open public space of the auditorium. It involves completely different scenarios of usage (from movie and anime watching to concerts or cosplay festival). It can be reached directly from the pedestrian street. The auditorium decoration is made of the traditional japanese material, wood, which is combined with modern materials and new technologies. Staircases, elevators and private karaoke rooms are placed in two closed vertical spaces. The object embodies interactive, adaptive media space. it’s like a kind of tv screen, in which life is constantly pulsing and ordinary passer-by can become its audience.
