新宿駅西口に出るとすぐに見える特徴的なコクーンタワー、コクーンはカイコのまゆを意味しているが、同時に若い人たちが巣立ちする前の保護された建物も意味する。
このタワーには若い人たちが社会に出る前の教育施設として、ファッションデザインや美容などを主とした東京モード学園と、ゲームやデジタル映像を勉強するＨＡＬ東京、看護や介護などを勉強する首都医校がある。
丹下都市設計HP：求められたのは、今までにない建物、”学校なので授業は大切であることはもちろんですが、それ以上に大切なのは休憩時間や放課後の時間というのが私たちのかんがえです。キャンパスでディスカッションや雑談、先生に相談したり、恋愛があったり、何かが起こることが大切で、だから学生も学校に来る意味がある。しかし高層建築の場合、一つ上の階では何が起こっているかわかりません。何が起こっているか分かることが大切です。昔の小中学校は大抵３階建てでした。だから今回は高層ビルなのだけど、内部は３階建ての校舎を積み上げる設計にしています。-

"The distinctive Cocoon Tower can be seen immediately after exiting the west exit of Shinjuku Station. The cocoon represents the silkwork's cocoon, but it also represents the building where young people are protected before they leave the nest.
This tower houses Tokyo Mode Gakuen, which mainly teaches fashion design and beauty, HAL Tokyo, which teaches games and digital video, and Shuto Medical School, which teaches nursing and caregiving, as educational facilities for young people before they ente society.
Tange Urban Design HP: What was required was a building that had never
been seen before. "Of course, classes are important because it is
a school, but we think that what is even more important is break time and
after - school time. It is important that something happens on campus,
such as discussions and chatting , consulting teachers, and romance, and
that is why students have meaning when they come to school. However, in
the case of high - rise buildings, you don't know what is going on on the
floor above. It is important to know what is going on. In the past, elementary
and junior high schools were usually three stories high. That's why, although
this time it is a high - rise building, the interior is designed to be
three stories high. - - - "
