Fukunuma Umino Square

The concept is "symbiosis". This is a project to establish an exchange base in the Arahama area of Sendai City, which was affected by the tsunami caused by the Great East Japan Earthquake. Based on the concept of an ``inclusive society'' where people of all generations and with or without disabilities can gather, we have created an ``open space'' where you can enjoy activities and events and learn about disaster prevention and mitigation. The site area is 1.3 hectares. The site consists of three areas: a cafe and co-working space, a farm, and an inclusive facility where children with disabilities can play. The clubhouse uses VR equipment jointly developed by a major telecommunications company and a local university to become a place for children to learn about disaster prevention, where they can learn about the Arahama area before and after the earthquake and how to respond in the event of a disaster. I am.
The project is part of Sendai City's project to utilize the site of a disaster prevention collective relocation site, and is funded by a subsidy from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. Our company provided support for acquisition applications and completion reports.
This time, we completed the clubhouse area as the first phase. Aiming to create facilities that take root in the community and grow together with them, parks and indoor facilities are planned to be developed in stages based on future projections in collaboration with local residents.

・Redefining and rebuilding local communities that suffered devastating damage from the Great East Japan Earthquake.
・Rebuilding culture in areas where livelihoods have been lost and creating a business based on a "coexistence society."
・Because it is a family business that has been going on for 400 years, the person in charge wants to breathe new life into it through a new business.
・To bring together the thoughts of all eight companies that have come together with the aim of creating a good business.
We have received the above requests.

We thought about how we could differentiate ourselves from other facilities without competing with neighboring facilities based on ``symbiosis.'' In addition to thinking about how to enjoy the extraordinary experience of playing outside, we also incorporated the charm of the area and how to enhance our overall strength.We combined the elements of a place such as "earth," "water," and "wind." The core of this facility is ``BBQ/picnic'' and ``experiential activities with friends and family'' that can be enjoyed in everyday spaces for more than half a day or less than a full day. In addition, for use by groups such as corporate training and school excursions, we have worked with a major telecommunications company to create a mechanism to provide learning on disaster prevention and mitigation in collaboration with nearby earthquake disaster heritage sites.
Furthermore, we held a workshop as part of our efforts to create a facility that will grow together with the local community. By creating "symbol flags," "theme songs," and "windmills," we create opportunities to connect people, and by having the works created by everyone engraved as part of the facility, we foster interest and attachment to the facility even before it opens. was created.
The workshops and events received sponsorship and cooperation from approximately 100 organizations, including local businesses and schools, that support the concept of an ``inclusive society.''
This facility will be developed in stages in collaboration with local residents based on future projections. By doing so, we aim to become an indispensable facility for the region.

While working as a model housing environment improvement project for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, the in-house collaboration between designers and planners was excellent in concept design the facility, and they were able to provide facility management know-how with an eye toward the sustainability of the facility's operation for decades to come. I did. We would also like to especially thank the person in charge at the Tohoku Branch for their great help, from introducing us to local networks to requesting cooperation, and especially assisting with applications as this was a subsidy project. thank you very much.
