  • Hotel Il Palazzo 4
Aldo Rossi’s hotel in Fukuoka, known for its red stone façade and a presence that reads as urban memory. Rossi imagined the hotel as a palace-type landmark in the city. Strong color and geometry mark the street; interiors continue his interest in type and memory.

Highlights

  • Façade — How does the red wall and opening rhythm contrast with neighboring streets?
  • Entrance — How does scale change from city street into the hotel?
