About this place
Nexus World is a group of apartment buildings in Kashiihama, Higashi Ward, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture. Under the coordination of Arata Isozaki, six architects from Japan and abroad competitively designed housing. The project began in the late 1980s in Higashi Ward, Fukuoka, produced by Fukuoka Jisho, and was completed in 1991-1992. The Rem Building (Koolhaas Building), designed by Rem Koolhaas, won the 1992 Architectural Institute of Japan Prize.
