実績

This is a plan for a general activity facility to stimulate the will to learn, play, exercise, and create in the children of Niigata. The building has an atrium so that spaces on all floors flow into each other, in a fun spatial composition with visual and active links, which was intended to form a circulating play structure with movement paths that can be limitlessly explored in all directions. There is a rooftop square that gives a view out over a scenic surrounding environment, including Toyano Lagoon. This environmental building is also equipped with solar power generation and heat collection, rooftop vegetation, and a rest area. The semicircular part of the main building has a characteristic structure consisting of a lattice-like frame of diagonal columns over all floors at the boundary on the periphery of the atrium space, and an outer peripheral frame to bear vertical loads from the peripheral floor areas. There are wooden “alleys” linking to various adjoining facilities, which serve diverse functions, such as snow deflection, waiting areas, and notices for guidance to the buildings. This configuration combines harmony with the scenery and ease of circulation.
