In recent years, a new stratum has been discovered that shows how Jomon people mined black stone at the Takayama Ruins and Hoshidoge Black Stone Mine, which is a nationally designated historic site. Therefore, the ``Hoshikusokan'' was opened, displays room where you can see the excavated strata and experience the life of the Jomon people at the time. The color of the building's exterior walls has changed due to rust over time, conveying the message of preserving and passing on the memory of black stone. Inside the displays room, strata with a length of 20 meters and a maximum height of over 5 meters tower over both walls of the passageway, and have been recreated exactly as they were discovered during the excavation. The strata have unevenness built up in steps, and these were created by the earth and sand that the Jomon people dug up underground in search of black ash. Projection mapping was performed to match the lines of this stratum, and the life of the Jomon people at that time was recreated in video. Through immersive visuals and impressive geological formations, you can experience the passion of the Jomon people for generations of mining in search of the precious black stone, which is a rare source of stone.

As the successor to Hokkaido's first science museum, the Muroran City Youth Science Museum (opened in 1963), it has been newly built and opened with a new theme of ``environment.'' We aim to create displays that allow a wide range of generations, especially children, to become familiar with science on a daily basis and feel hope for the future of the earth and local communities. The environment corner introduces environmental innovation projects that make use of Muroran's individuality and strengths cultivated through manufacturing, as well as initiatives for a sustainable future. In particular, the main displays, ``Watching Morelani,'' is a virtual displays where you walk on satellite photos of Muroran spread out on the floor and explore manufacturing sites, renewable energy sites, and natural spots using an AR tablet. You can experience scenery that is normally difficult to see in person, such as 360-degree footage of factories and drone footage of natural scenery. The science experience corner is made up of equipment that allows you to experience the basics and principles of science. Some of the equipment in the old building has been remade and reinstalled, preserving the history of the facility and the memories of its citizens. displays incorporate elements of play, such as connecting the scattered devices with experiment counters to enhance the face-to-face communication space, and large play equipment with Muroran nature motifs.

This is a luxury club to open in 2021, in Ginza, one of Japan's leading downtown areas, which has faced headwinds due to the coronavirus pandemic, and is planned to bring vitality and hope for the future. The store's name is "Arabesque," and the original meaning of the word is "Arabic-style decorative pattern." The song of the same name, derived from this, has a structure in which regular rhythms repeat and the intersections of sounds gradually change. I focused on the arabesque decoration and the meaning contained in the song, and wanted to layer it in the space. First, we incorporated a half-arch, a typical motif of Arabic decoration, which is an arched shape cut in half. Continuing half arches frees us from regular compositions and changes the way they are combined. This half-arch extends from the entrance door to the reception, bar, and hall, and is linked to create the rhythm of a song. The half arch foreshadows the next connection, gradually changing bright and gorgeous, connecting the future with something fun. We aimed for concept design that gives such an impression and infuses hope and fresh air.

Since its founding, Panasonic has been closely involved in the daily lives of consumers and has been working on a variety of initiatives to help each individual live an optimally healthy life. In China, where the population is aging, Panasonic and a Chinese partner will open a wellness smart town for the elderly in 2022. Approximately 1,000 of the residences, known as ``nursing health condominiums,'' will be equipped with all Panasonic housing equipment. A healthy and comfortable space can be created through the simple operation of a smartphone, which is deeply ingrained in Chinese society. NOMURA Group was in charge of design, layout a showroom for VIPs to introduce elderly health condominiums. In addition to the function of displays products, it also serves as a guest house that specializes in providing hospitality to visitors, including a footbath and a cafe.

It is a sliding kiosk whose expression changes depending on the location, time, and environment around the world. This concept design style, which consists of a kitchen unit and the required number of units of various seating formats, can be expanded without being limited by the size of the installation space. The biggest feature is that when closed it blends into the surrounding environment, and when opened it reveals a cafe space. The mirrored façade reflects the surrounding environment and changes its expression like a chameleon. As a Kiosk unique to % Arabica, which operates around the world, no matter where the store is located in any country, the design will not be a copy-and-paste concept design, but will be unique to that location. The photo shows the first store opened on Ningbo Heyi Avenue, which consists of four units. Its sophisticated appearance blends into the atrium environment of a luxury shopping facility. As we are forced to think about the nature of cafes during the recent pandemic, demand for kiosks that allow people to enjoy coffee outdoors is increasing. Rather than a conventional kiosk that only sells items in a stand-style manner, this store uses a new concept, with the unit sliding open to create semi-outdoor seating during business hours, and seating areas surrounding the unit.

In order to provide guests with the concept of the hotel, "Experience Hokkaido," we have created the ultimate local production area with "sustainability" in mind while valuing the culture and ways of thinking that have been cherished in this area. I planned a hotel. For the exterior, interiors, and structure, we aimed to make full use of materials by not only using building materials such as wood, stone, and soil from Hokkaido, but also creating furniture that makes effective use of building offcuts. In addition, some of the furniture in the hotel lounge is made in Asahikawa, which is famous as a furniture town, using wood from Hokkaido. We are creating a connection between the hotel and the community from both soft and hard aspects. The restaurant uses not only Hokkaido-produced ingredients (agricultural products, marine products, dairy products, etc.), but also ingredients that you can see the faces of the producers. We have set up a record player and set up beautiful photographs of various parts of Hokkaido by five photographers as art, so that guests can experience Hokkaido deeply through their five senses. Whether you're heading to Sapporo or starting from Sapporo, this is a hotel where you can have a one-of-a-kind experience in Sapporo, the gateway to Hokkaido.

This project involves the production and installation of video content and displays for the "First Prefectural Government Building" (restoration facility) at the Hyogo Prefectural Hyogo Tsu Museum, where visitors can experience the historical space of when the prefecture was established. The “First Prefectural Government Building” is a facility that reconstructs the building of the former Osaka Town Magistrate’s Office, Hyogo Kinbansho, where the prefectural government was established when Hyogo Prefecture was born on May 23, 1868 (Keio 4). The prefectural government building, including the governor's office at that time, and the old Doshin mansion have been recreated, allowing you to experience the lost historical space of the Bakumatsu and Meiji eras. In order to allow people of all ages to enjoy the historical space more closely, the virtual tour "Virtual Visit!", where visitors can experience wearing time goggles, will experience the drama of the Bakumatsu and Restoration that unfolded at the first prefectural office using the latest MR technology. You can experience it at

Waphyto's Nihonbashi Takashimaya store was born under the innovative approach of plant biomethodology. "PHYTO" means plant, and "WA" means "Japan" from "Wa", "From Higashi-Mikawa", and "Honzogaku". We created a space where you can feel the heartbeat of people and nature, which is appropriate for the name Waphyto, which expresses the wish that people and nature are in beautiful harmony. In the place that is paired with the round shelf board that imaged drops falling from the leaves, details associated with human activities are dropped, and the thoughts put into Waphyto are expressed by harmonizing using traditional Japanese methods and silver ratio. express.

This is a renewal of the museum attached to the research facility with the oldest history as a buried cultural property research institution (approved public facility). Through the valuable excavated materials of many archaeological sites in the prefecture, we have deepened our understanding of the history of Nara Prefecture, which occupies an important position in the history of Japan, and reopened after a period of about three years. In addition to renewing and repairing displays cases in the permanent and special displays rooms due to the aging of displays facilities, new displays such as full-size Horyuji mural paintings and reproduction ceramic panels of Takamatsuzuka Tumulus mural paintings (Asuka Village) will be exhibited, as well as the largest mesuri in Japan. We renewed the cylindrical haniwa corner of Yamakofun. In addition, we created the museum's image song, "Mizuyama no Kaze - Tamayura," and redesigned the in-house broadcasting system to create a museum that can be enjoyed with all five senses.

"THE BASE SPORTS BIKE & COMMUNITY" is a new facility for cyclists specializing in road bikes, in response to the increased demand for bicycles due to the coronavirus pandemic and the growing interest in road bikes due to the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This is a project to create a concept shop. The exterior "cycling road" continues to the store, and customers can enter the store while riding a bicycle. In addition, in the center of the store, there is an artificial turf rest space and an experience space, where even customers wearing binding shoes can relax with peace of mind, and experience events such as test drives, maintenance, and upgrades by purchasing their favorite accessories. , Customers can enjoy communication through their common hobby of cycling. In addition, the fixtures have a pallet at the bottom to enable flexible layouts, and the louvers that surround the sales floor wall have the function of displays bicycles face-out. Think of life as a cycling road, and stop along the way to take a break or perform maintenance. We are proposing such a space as a way of concept design a new store. <Our project members> [design, layout] no.10: Keita Aono, Yu Yoshie [Sales/project management] Rikiya Takasugi [building execution] Nanako Yamagishi

This is a showroom/office reconstruction project for Kyushu Mitsubishi Motors Sales Co., Ltd. We were in charge of the interior design and construction of the cafe/restaurant on the 1st floor and the showroom on the 2nd floor of the 8-story steel-framed building. As a new landmark of Yakuin, Fukuoka City, we aimed to create a space that can connect with people and the city (region) with the concept of "obi". The café/restaurant is an open space that is easy to enter, and is designed to be a communication space integrated with the showroom. In addition, we installed a large digital signage, a turntable that symbolically displays automobiles, a light ceiling, and other elements that are scattered around to make café customers naturally interested in cars. The showroom on the 2nd floor incorporates an organic design that uses many curved surfaces that symbolize the obi, and the ceiling is decorated with a design pattern of Mitsubishi's three diamonds. In addition, the Mitsubishi brand colors of black, white, and gray are used as the basic colors to create a simple and dignified showroom that is typical of Mitsubishi Motors. In addition, we have set up a kids' corner where children can have fun even when visiting with their families, a corner to promote V2H technology, and a dedicated corner to hold important business negotiations. . Construction: P.S.Mitsubishi/Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Kotsu Kensetsu Engineering Co., Ltd. Special construction construction joint venture [Social issues/customer issues/requests] In addition to existing customers, we have failed to capture so far young families and young people who are not very interested in cars. We received a request to create a space that can be visited by a wide range of new customers who had not previously visited.

The curvilinear original fixtures installed in the Mori Art Museum shop have a sense of rhythm by changing the height while drawing natural lines. In addition, by extending the white display wall of the adjoining A/D gallery to part of the sales floor, we built a seamless relationship that encourages movement between the sales floor and the gallery. “Tokyo City View Shop” The store has a compact structure along the aisle, but also has a free-standing wall that allows more products to be laid out. <Our project members> [Sales and project management] Takashi Niijima, Yuka Sunakoda [Production and construction] Masato Takeuchi, Toko Nagami Image courtesy of Mori Art Museum

~ Conveying the thoughts and history of the people who have repaired it after each disaster as a "symbol of reconstruction" ~ The Kumamoto earthquake in April 2016 also caused damage to the Kumamoto Castle tower. In response to the voices of the people who longed for the symbolic castle tower to return to its original form, Kumamoto City adopted a policy of early restoration of the castle tower, and the building was completed in March 2021, incorporating the latest earthquake-resistant technology. Here, the thoughts of the people who have repaired the castle after repeated disasters over the 400 years since its construction have been inherited, and a message from the people of Kumamoto who live "now" for the next 100 or 400 years into the future. It is The exhibits are arranged in chronological themes from the basement to the top floor, and the spatial design has been designed to correspond to these themes. Focusing on the castle tower rather than the castle as a whole, it conveys the history of its construction, architectural design, defensive function, castle and town development, and the thoughts and history of the people who have restored it after each disaster. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・Communicate the historical, architectural, and spiritual significance of the castle tower, which is a symbol of recovery from the Kumamoto earthquake disaster. In addition, it should be communicated that Kumamoto Castle, which has historically been hit by numerous natural disasters, has been revived even in the recent earthquake.・Focusing on the “Kumamoto Castle Tower” instead of the entire Kumamoto Castle, and working to coordinate and complement the exhibition content and role sharing of the surrounding facilities.・Since there are many restrictions on the preservation environment inside the castle tower, basically no actual materials will be exhibited, and an exhibition of the history of the Kumamoto Castle tower after the Satsuma Rebellion, which has not existed before, will be added.・From the perspective of universal design, introduce tactile exhibits and multilingual audio guides so that a wide range of people can enjoy the exhibits. We have received your request above. [Solution] With the castle tower as the main character, we arranged the stories from the construction of the castle to the present along the time axis, and set a theme for each era on each floor. The first floor is the era of Kiyomasa Kato, who built the castle, the era of Hosokawa, who later became the feudal lord, the modern era, which experienced burning down and rebuilding, and the modern era, which is devoted to the Kumamoto earthquake and restoration, from the lower floors to the upper floors. I organized the story so that I could follow it. In addition to the structure of the castle tower, the people who have repaired Kumamoto Castle every time since the Edo period, even after repeated disasters. And so on, I focused on that. Furthermore, in order to meet the needs of a wide range of visitors, we planned and realized a multilingual audio guide and a tactile model of the castle tower that can be touched and understood.
