This study is about the place identity of the sunken space in the Mixed-use complex, while the purpose of this study is to draw some analysis item and suggest a way to improve the sunken space in the Mixed-use complex. The methods of this study is summarized as follows. We draw some analysis item based on the theoretical approaching for defining the place identity of the sunken space at Mixed-use complex. And then we researching some case of Mixed-use complex at Tokyo in Japan Though this analysis item, finally we can define the place identity of sunken space at Mixed-use complex for each case in Japan. We then define the place signification of sunken space through 3 cases, Roppongi Hills, Grand commons & Intercity and Shiodome A, B, C Disrict which are planed as Mixed-use complexes in Tokyo. These cases are analyzed through 3 factors which are basic for studying place identity ; physical environment, human’ activity and the place signification. The conclusion is as follows. First, the physical environment of sunken space at Mixed-use complex planned on a large scale includes complex factors. Second, the sunken space at Mixed-use complex is planned as a place which makes users’ freedom in their activities when they use there. Third, the sunken space which makes diverse experiences is a main space factor from among outside space composition factors in the view of space experience.
