実績

Iwaki City suffered devastating damage in the Great East Japan Earthquake, and also took in numerous evacuees from the nuclear accident. This facility was planned as a way to improve the development environment for children who had their access to outdoor play in the Nakadori and Hamadori districts restricted for between one and three years after the accident, and to raise their exercise capacity and strength. It was also planned as a disaster restoration project. Indoor exercise facilities are placed on the second floor, while management, nursery, and meeting spaces are on the basement level. This level configuration was also intended to provide the rooftop as an evacuation area. The former children’s center on the site also had a pool next to it, so we placed a splashing pool on the south side of the facility, with a fountain where children can play, to preserve the site’s waterplay functions. For the south side of the facility, we proposed a three-dimensional play installation made of nets,
which commands a view of the Same River and the town. The two stairs, and the composite net structure that spans between them, are linked three-dimensionally on each level, to make a huge playground facility that runs from the first floor to the roof.
