The Kanagawa Dental University Campus Center embodies a philosophy of "Gentle Architecture," merging functional spaces for staff and students with communal areas under a generous, cloud-like roof. The use of colored concrete and a landscape that softens boundaries with the surrounding park fosters a welcoming environment. The Campus Center, designed to be the "foyer of the campus and the city," aims to revitalize campus life and open the university to the community, making it a place where everyone can easily gather and engage in various activities.
