Through research into "neurointelligence," a new academic field that fuses life sciences, medicine, linguistics, mathematical sciences, and information science, this exhibition aims to explore the "intelligent brain," that is, our brain, and the amazing power of our own brains that we are usually unaware of. It also explores what kind of ideal future can be forged by the fusion of brain research and artificial intelligence (AI) research, providing a new displays on "intelligence" from cutting-edge research and exploring the great potential of the brain. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] The challenge was to reach a wide range of people, from those interested in science to the general public, to develop activities that lead to funding, and in the future to connect to international outreach activities with a view to overseas expansion. Objectives: To have researchers and visitors think together about "neurointelligence" and share the significance and appeal of the research.・To allow young people to experience the joy of self-discovery through "intelligence" and to inspire them to take an interest in "neurointelligence" and science, as they will shape the future. ・To contribute to the global dissemination activities of the International Research Organization for Neurointelligence (IRCN) at the University of Tokyo's Institute for Advanced Study, regarding the necessity of basic research in science and technology. Based on these objectives, we considered solutions. [Solution] In order to outreach cutting-edge scientific research results, planners and designers worked with researchers to consider "What is neurointelligence?" and "What kind of worldview does IRCN aim for?" and concretized displays through repeated discussions. In the process, instead of simply displaying research results, we incorporated mechanisms into displays to widely communicate cutting-edge scientific research results that fuse brain science and AI research to the world, while also allowing the general public to engage in research at an individual level, creating a community to displays the ideal form of brain science and AI, and encouraging continued participation in that community. <Our Project Members> [Development/Production] Hironori Takeda [Sales/Project Management] Shun Enomoto [Planners] So Watanabe, Remi Abe [Designers] Akihiko Shikkou, Atsushi Suzuki, Sayaka Horikoshi [Production] Nomura Duo: Ryoichi Tanbo, Yoshinari Imaizumi, Naoru Hara

This project involves expanding the women's floor of Tokyo's largest health checkup facility from one floor to two, and renovating it with a new concept design. Based on the concept of "providing a comfortable and smart health checkup experience for women working in the city center," we aimed to create a space that considers the flow, sightlines, and comfort of both patients and staff. Through repeated discussions with many stakeholders, we carefully designed every detail of the functionality and design, which led to the creation of a highly hospitable health checkup service. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] The client's primary request was to significantly increase the capacity and operational efficiency of the women's patient slots. The challenge was to ensure ease of use and comfort while maximizing the number of examination rooms and waiting area seats. At the same time, we aimed to enhance the sense of exclusivity and added value in order to further establish the competitive advantage of "Shinjuku Health Checkup Plaza" within the health checkup facility market. [Solution] We adopted "SMART HEALTH RESORT" as the overall concept for the facility, designating the existing 7th-concept design ladies' floor as "COMFORT RESORT" and the newly established 8th floor as "PRIME RESORT" to offer an even more exclusive experience than the 7th floor. With the aim of providing a comfortable and smart health checkup experience for women working in the city center, the spatial expression is based on a hotel-like luxury feel, and the color scheme is based on beige and light-colored wood tones. Instead of common colors such as gold and silver, the metal materials are unified in a pink bronze color to give a sense of exclusivity. Furthermore, while many medical facilities generally use plain, subdued wallpaper for interiors of the examination rooms, we differentiated our facility by using patterned wallpaper in each room to help patients relax as much as possible during their examination. Securing the required number of examination rooms and waiting areas within a limited floor space was an extremely difficult problem. However, through repeated discussions with medical technologists and medical equipment manufacturers, we were able to determine the minimum size of each examination room that would allow for both "smooth examination operations" and "avoiding a feeling of confinement for patients," and then plan accordingly, thereby achieving the necessary number. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Tsuneo Kozasa, Yukako Ninomiya [Planning] Hiroyuki Imaizumi [design, layout] Kumiko Oishi, Mei Watanabe [Production & construction] Mai Sakai, Nohara Kikuchi

This is a renewal of the permanent exhibition at the comprehensive museum (publicly approved facility) located in the Bunka no Mori Comprehensive Park, which combines humanities subjects such as archaeology, history, folklore, and arts and crafts with natural history subjects such as zoology, botany, geology, and dinosaurs. With a new concept, "A Complete Grasp of Tokushima - A Story of 'Life' and 'Time'," the permanent displays rooms have been completely renovated. The new permanent displays rooms are designed to allow visitors to experience the charm and characteristics of Tokushima through a wealth of displays, making the museum more enjoyable. Through workshops on both inclusive concept design and displays evaluation, the direction of displays content was confirmed, the experiential displays were verified, and universal concept design was implemented. With the museum as the "face of the region" in mind, the exhibition is designed to value dialogue and interaction between curators and visitors, and among visitors themselves, through the displays (objects) as they move from the newly created "Communication Zone" to the "Museum Street." The museum embraces Tokushima's appeal as "rich nature, traditional culture, and innovativeness," and as a base for conveying this appeal, it has evolved into a museum that is always full of fresh surprises and easy to enjoy. Rather than simply providing information to visitors, it is an displays space where visitors can learn about the charm of Tokushima through play, using actual materials (objects) as its core, and participatory displays methods such as 4K, VR, AR, XR, and hands-on experiences. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] - The existing permanent displays was basically based on the academic standards of 30 years ago, and although the knowledge and collection of materials related to nature, history, and culture have increased significantly through the accumulation of activities, the constraints of the room structure and displays cases made it difficult to change displays, and they had become outdated. - The old displays lacked a clear characteristic and did not represent the "face of the region," and its content was not differentiated from other museums that opened later. - There was a need to respond to social demands, such as initiatives that convey the joy of discovery and learning through objects (materials), and an increase in hands-on and participatory elements. - Universal design focused on accommodating foreigners and people with disabilities, as well as addressing damage and fading due to aging, air conditioning malfunctions, and the need for LED lighting. [Solution] - After consultation with the curator, we completely replaced the displays and, through workshops on inclusive concept design and displays evaluation, confirmed the direction of displays, verified the experiential displays, and implemented universal concept design. Along with creating a museum that serves as a "face of the community," we reorganized the flow of movement from the "Museum Street" to each displays corner, centering on the "Communication Zone," and adopted a partially selective flow of movement instead of a simple one-way route. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Koichi Morimoto [Planning] Kyohei Kishida, Setsuko Nishimura, Mao Horii, Hironori Mima [concept design] Masaaki Mitsunaga, Tadashi Yuasa, Takeo Akamine, Rie Morita, Reiko Kagawa [Production/ construction] Hayato Ichimanda, Yoshito Inoue, Yu Oishi, Koichiro Takahashi

Built in 1910 and designated a National Important Cultural Property in 1974, this is a representative example of Hokkaido's wooden pseudo-Western style architecture. It was closed from October 2018 for large-scale preservation and repair work, the first in 40 years, but reopened in April 2021. In accordance with the preservation and utilization plan based on the concept of "a public hall where everyone can protect, see, learn, and gather," displays design concept is "HEROE'S JOURNEY," which not only explains the architectural highlights but also introduces the skills and aspirations of the famous and unknown pioneers (heroes) who contributed to the construction of the Old Hakodate District Public Hall. As the building itself is an Important Cultural Property, careful consideration was given to concept design so as not to spoil the image of the landscape and interior atmosphere, and meticulous care was taken in the installation and adjustment of furniture and other fixtures, without any fixing, to minimize damage. Furthermore, using a smartphone AR app, valuable furniture and furnishings are explained in multiple languages, and the actual living spaces are recreated to show how they might have been used at the time. [Social Issues/Client Issues/Requests] While the number of tourists visiting Hakodate has increased, the number of visitors to the public hall has been declining, and the exterior, interior, and displays were quite old and in a dilapidated state. In addition, the number of local citizens visiting was low compared to the number of visitors, and there was a lack of communication about the history of the hall and the appeal of its interior that would motivate people to visit. Although it was built as a "building for the citizens," in order to preserve it as a source of pride for the city, it was necessary to convey its value to those living today and encourage them to use it. [Solution] We believe that letting people know the reasons and value for preserving the public hall is important for future preservation and utilization plans. Following the Hakodate City's plan, which prioritizes not affecting the preservation of the building as an important cultural property, we created videos and displays to convey to visitors that famous and unknown local pioneers were involved in the planning, aiming to increase awareness that it is a "public hall that citizens can be proud of." [Sports Room: History Table] When the building was constructed, the sports room had a billiard table. displays stand, modeled after that billiard table, depicts the changes in the people who used the public hall using a 1/100 scale architectural model accessory set, and also includes playful elements that make you want to take pictures, such as "actual objects" of valuable designs and building materials that you can touch, and a map of Hakodate City's traditional building preservation district using beautiful transparent colored acrylic cubes. [Small Dining Room: Theater] The room that was used as a dining room has been renovated into a small theater room that introduces the history leading up to the construction of the public hall. [Each Room: AR Explanation] Using an AR app, you can enjoy overlaying motions that recreate the time of construction and the architectural structure to the real scenery. This is a contactless displays explanation that can be recorded and shared on your own smartphone.

Gontran Cherrier, which currently operates approximately 60 stores in France, Asia, North America, and the Middle East, also had stores in Japan from 2012 to 2017, and this marks its return to the country. For this new store, Gontran Cherrier has revamped the recipe for its signature croissant, as well as created a wide variety of menu items using unique Japanese ingredients and Gontran's recipes, bringing a fresh new bakery vibe to Aoyama, Tokyo. Part of the kitchen on the first floor is visible from both the outside and inside the store, creating a lively atmosphere of freshly baked bread along with the shop. The eat-in area on the second floor boasts a superb location overlooking Aoyama Street, offering a relaxing space to unwind. The concept behind the Aoyama store's spatial concept design is "Japanese-style, supreme 'omotenashi' (hospitality) at Gontran's residence in Aoyama, Tokyo," with the maisonette space connecting the first and second floors by a staircase and the outdoor terrace seating designed to resemble a "mansion." We incorporated traditional Japanese colors such as Omeshicha-iro (a type of brown fabric) into the exterior and furniture, and used original furoshiki (wrapping cloths) in the display to create a distinctly Japanese atmosphere. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Kenichiro Kotake [design, layout] Toshio Yamamoto, Mei Watanabe [Production & construction] Ryohei Azechi, Ren Shimizu, Tamao Kobayashi [Electrical Equipment] Yuya Tsuboi

Keiyo Gas has renovated its Ichikawa showroom in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture, into a community space open to local residents. The name "KeiyoGAS Community Terrace (commonly known as "Terrace")" reflects the desire to create a place for everyone to belong through a "veranda = terrace" that serves as a point of contact between people, the town, and daily life, and to pursue the company concept of "Towards the next 'happiness!'" The interior of the building is also concept design with the "veranda = terrace" concept in mind, creating a place for everyone to belong, accepting the free activities and diverse ways in which local residents can spend their time. Furthermore, under the facility slogan "Illuminating the town with children and adults," we have implemented mechanisms that allow users to participate in community building and initiatives that support local life and activities. Through these efforts, we aim to create a community that grows together with citizens and the local area.

This project involved the renovation of a Japanese kappo (traditional Japanese multi-course) restaurant in Bashamichi, Yokohama, into a Chinese restaurant. The concept was to offer "delicious Chinese food in Bashamichi," setting it apart from the adjacent Yokohama Chinatown. interiors was finished in chic colors, and concept design of the furnishings was unified to create an elegant and sophisticated space. The restaurant's name, "Suirinkaku," reflects the desire to quietly and gently permeate the hearts of its customers. [Social Issue/Customer Issue/Request] The customer requested to displays some of their owned artwork as part of the restaurant's interior. [Solution] Each piece of artwork, which had been cherished for a long time, was meticulously cleaned and processed, and appropriate frames were selected and installed. <Our Project Members> [Sales/Project Management] Masafumi Kondo, Wataru Yoshida [design, layout] Toshiyuki Taya, Takashi Aikawa, Yumi Ishii, Yo Yamamoto, Tadahiro Nakajima [Production/ construction] Yasuhiko Oikawa

This project is one of the initiatives aimed at helping residents of areas to be submerged by the construction of the Yamba Dam to rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. Our company was in charge of the basic planning, schematic design, working drawings, supervision, and consulting services supporting local operating companies for the "Regional Development Facilities" in the "Kawarayu District" and "Yokokabe District" of the area for approximately six years. The Kawarayu District is a tourist area with Kawarayu Onsen, which has a history of over 800 years, and is adjacent to JR Kawarayu Onsen Station. From the perspective of location characteristics, scenery, and project scale, we proposed a "station-front x campground & BBQ (barbecue) x hot spring facility" project. While listening to the opinions of the residents of the district, Naganohara Town, and Gunma Prefecture, we comprehensively planned and produced everything from the establishment and support of the local operating body to attracting a cooperating company to operate the campground, consulting on the business plan design, layout. The facility is divided by the JR Agatsuma Line, with the upper level being "Kawarayu Onsen Asobi no Kichi NOA," which has a cafe and hot springs, and the lower level being "Kawarayu Onsen Station Campground," which has a plaza where you can enjoy BBQ and bonfires, a wood-fired bath and tent sauna, and canoeing and kayaking on the dam lake. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] [Business Aspects] It was necessary to start by understanding what rebuilding lives and creating a sense of purpose means to the local residents. Through repeated discussions with everyone, issues were identified that aimed at regional revitalization, such as coexistence with the hot spring town, promoting employment for local people, especially young people, and encouraging the return of people who have left the area. In addition, there was a request for differentiation from facilities planned in other areas or similar facilities, and for the facility to have the ability to attract customers and have its own uniqueness. [concept design Aspects] There was a request to attract passersby with concept design unique to the area, taking into consideration the bridge used by tourists visiting the dam and visibility from the opposite bank where there is a lot of traffic, and to create a facility that is easy to operate by harmonizing a multi-purpose complex (hot springs, restaurants, rest areas, observation deck, tenants, conference rooms, etc.). [Solution] [Business Aspect] The Yamba Dam project took 70 years from planning to completion, and given the background of the many residents who have moved away due to the mixed opinions on the dam's construction, what we emphasized from the perspective of launching the project was proposing a multi-perspective and comprehensive business plan. We listened to the diverse business ideas desired by the local residents, made suggestions for their feasibility, adjusted to avoid competition with companies in the surrounding area, and differentiated each facility, aiming for a project that emphasizes the unique characteristics of each region and district. [concept design Aspect] We adopted the "Agatsuma River," which is the origin of the place name of the former Kawarayu area, as our concept. As we progressed with concept design, we received feedback from local residents that it resembled "a boat floating with the region on board," and we created a distinctive building that symbolizes the two concepts. In the interior space, we planned gently curving circulation routes and slopes that integrate various functions, in line with the long, narrow shape running east to west, creating a user-friendly space with good circulation. <Our Project Members> [Sales & Project Management] Satoshi Arai, Hitomi Yamamoto [Planning & Consulting] Kenichi Sakazume, Yuki Shimokuni [design, layout] NAU: Sakae Kirioka, Nana Kosano

This project is one of the initiatives aimed at helping residents of areas to be submerged by the construction of the Yamba Dam to rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. Our company was responsible for the basic planning, schematic design, working drawings, interior administration, and consulting services supporting local operating companies for the "Regional Development Facilities" in the "Kawarayu District" and "Yokokabe District" of the area for approximately six years. For the Yokokabe Regional Development Facility, we handled not only the facility plan, but also the planning and production, including supporting the establishment of the operating body to be set up in the district, attracting participating companies, consulting for restaurants operated by residents, menu development, and operational supervision of opening equipment. The facility concept design was based on the concept of "inheriting and developing the town's memory," and recreated the former Naganohara Town Hall*, which had served its purpose for over 90 years since its construction and was scheduled for demolition, as a symbol of the district. The design aimed to create opportunities for the town's history to be seen by children who will lead the district in the future and by visiting tourists, so that the new businesses that will be operated here will lead to the regeneration, reconstruction, and development of the district. *The old government building, constructed in 1929 (Showa 4), was a two-story wooden building with a hipped roof and clapboard exterior walls, and a hipped roof above the porch, making it a hybrid of Japanese and Western architectural styles. It was also said to be "the only wooden government building in Gunma Prefecture." [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] [Business Aspects] With the construction of the Yamba Dam, it was necessary to establish a new business, unprecedented in this region, as a facility to help residents of the area to be submerged rebuild their lives and find meaning in life. It was also requested that the facility be differentiated from facilities planned in other areas or similar facilities, and that it have the ability to attract visitors and possess uniqueness. [concept design Aspects] It was requested that the old government building, which is filled with people's memories, be utilized in some way, that the plan be designed to be visible from the busy national highway from the perspective of attracting visitors, and that the plan be designed to take advantage of the view that allows for a distant view of the Yamba Dam and a panoramic view of the lake. [Solution] [Business Aspect] In order to realize the requests, we prioritized three things: firstly, making suggestions to make feasible business ideas from local residents; secondly, differentiating the community development facilities in the "Yokokabe area" and the "Kawarayu area"; and thirdly, strongly supporting the establishment of a local operating company. In this project, we aimed to open a restaurant, something that all residents of the area had no experience with, and promoted it in a way that was in line with the characteristics of the region and the characteristics of the business. In particular, we held numerous dialogues about "finding what makes Yokokabe area unique" and "utilizing local recipes," and worked together to develop the menu, proceeding with a plan that was closely tied to the community. Professional chefs were invited to the trial and tasting sessions to support raising awareness among residents, revitalizing the region through improved cooking skills, and strengthening self-reliance. [concept design Aspect] When functionally transforming the building from a town hall to a lakeside station, we surveyed the existing building and chose to recreate it in a modern way while taking care to evoke a sense of nostalgia for the former town hall. The retro and distinctive design of the old government building has been recreated to create a visual appeal. In addition, by creating open openings facing the Yamba Dam, it has been made a location with one of the best views among the facilities around the dam lake. Furthermore, in order to maintain the atmosphere of the old government building while adhering to current building regulations, careful consideration was given to the structural design. <Our project members> [Sales/Project Management] Satoshi Arai, Hitomi Yamamoto [Planning/Consulting] Kenichi Sakazume, Yuki Shimokuni [design, layout] NAU: Sakae Kirioka, Nana Kosano

The castle tower of Hamamatsu Castle is a park facility constructed in 1958 with donations from citizens. 60 years had passed since it was completed, and displays inside the facility and the decorations were deteriorating. This project aims to enhance the appeal of Hamamatsu Castle Park as a central park and improve the satisfaction of citizens and visitors in displays area, marking 450 years since Tokugawa Ieyasu built Hamamatsu Castle. At our company, I was in charge of design construction including interiors, sign graphics, video software hardware, lighting and electrical work, and furniture and fixtures. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・ Introduces the history from Hikima Castle, the predecessor of Hamamatsu Castle, to the construction, reconstruction and demolition of Hamamatsu Castle, and to Hamamatsu Castle Park. ・ Introducing the castle ruins that can be visited in the city, and conveying the multi-layered history of Hamamatsu Castle and the appearance of castles in various parts of the city. - Give a sense of unity to current displays works and historical background. ・ Production of multilingual panels and digital video contents ・ displays.

We received the above request. [Solution] ・ Focusing on the fact that the young Ieyasu lived in Hamamatsu Castle, the historical background of Ieyasu and the people surrounding him during those 17 years, planning and design was done by zoning into "passion," "situation" and "scenery" layers. Produced a passion stage expressing the "passion" of young Ieyasu. The entire history of the castle, from Hikima Castle, the predecessor of Hamamatsu Castle, to the construction, renovation and demolition of Hamamatsu Castle, and to Hamamatsu Castle Park, was introduced through a panoramic theater using existing models. ・ Tenryu cedar from Hamamatsu city is used for the "scenery" layer on the third floor. During the renovation, the castle became the first castle in Japan to receive FSC® project certification. [Customer comments] For this renewal, we have thoroughly renewed the castle tower by accurately organizing the current status and issues of the castle tower, incorporating videos using the latest technology, and recent discoveries and research. In addition, there was an introduction to the castle ruins that can be visited in the city, as well as explanations of places related to Ieyasu, legends, and food culture. The newly renovated Hamamatsu Castle is not only a place for learning, but also a facility where you can look back on the history of Hamamatsu again, such as the reconstructed castle tower. Visitors have commented that "you can understand the origin of Hamamatsu Castle" and "it has become more fashionable." The City of Hamamatsu believes that the park has improved its function as a central facility for further regional revitalization and tourism exchange, in addition to enhancing the appeal of Hamamatsu Castle as a Central Park and improving the satisfaction of citizens and visitors. < our company Project Members > [Direction] Atsushi Suzuki [concept design] Sayaka Horikoshi [Planning] Mima Inagaki [Production/construction] Akinobu Takahashi [Sales/Project Management] Akinori Ogasawara and Haruka Tashiro [Related Links] NOMURA Co.,Ltd. opens "Hamamatsu Castle" and "Hamamatsu Kodomokan," Japan's first FSC® certified facilities using domestic wood.

Hamamatsu Children's Center opened in November 2001 with the aim of providing children with a place for healthy play, creative experiences, and interaction, and to support the healthy upbringing of children who will lead the next generation and parenting. The purpose of this project was to concept design the interiors environment, including the play equipment, which had become aged and outdated after approximately 18 years since the center's opening, and to provide a safer and more comfortable service to users. "Hamamatsu Children's Center Philosophy" Children have an insatiable curiosity within them. Hamamatsu Children's Center aims to create a loving environment where these children can fully express their childlike nature and play to their heart's content with peace of mind. We hope that they will interact with many people and enhance their social skills and creativity. Furthermore, we will foster an environment where parents who are raising important children who will lead the future can expand their network of mutual support and enjoy parenting while receiving professional support for child-rearing. We believe that the experiences and thoughts that children have in a psychologically stable environment during this period are incorporated into their brains' long-term memories, forming fertile ground for them to live rich and happy lives. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] 1) While maintaining the operating philosophy and functions of the facility since its opening, update some of the play equipment and interiors. 2) Minimize the period of temporary closure and complete the design and construction within a short period of one year. 3) In the renewal, take part in the use of Tenryu timber (locally produced timber) promoted by Hamamatsu City and obtain FSC® project certification. The above requests were received. [Solutions] 1) concept design a playground that incorporates the characteristics of the region, such as Hamamatsu's nature and industrial technology, and create mechanisms to foster interest in and affection for the region. 2) In order to create a "Hamamatsu-specific playground" that nurtures the humanity and learning foundation of Hamamatsu children, we created original play equipment and spaces based on theories of human development. 3) Hamamatsu City-produced Tenryu cedar is used in the hall, Daichi Zone (floor, walls, and some play equipment), workshop room, and corridors. As an FSC® project team with Hamamatsu City as the project manager and our company as the deputy project manager, we have obtained the international forest certification system "FSC® Project Certification*" for a public children's facility of a similar type in Japan. *FSC® Project Certification - The FSC® standard is an international forest certification system based in Germany and is the highest standard in the world. - Obtaining FSC® certification guarantees that timber from properly managed forests is being used. - Hamamatsu City is particularly committed to using FSC® certified timber as a concrete action toward the SDGs. <Our Project Members> [Direction] Atsushi Suzuki [concept design] Mika Watanabe [Planning] Remi Abe [Production] Akinobu Takahashi, Hironari Ota, Takehiro Ichijo [Sales & Project Management] Akinori Ogasawara, Haruka Tashiro ~Related Links~ [Press Release] NOMURA Co.,Ltd.

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. opened a new office in March 2021 in the Daiba Garden City Building adjacent to the Head Office building (Odaiba, Tokyo) to accommodate the new normal era. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group's goal is to activate communication and better creativity among employees while taking advantage of the Group's diverse work styles and values. NOMURA Co.,Ltd. The Group launched a project in 2019 to consolidate Group company locations with the aim of creating an environment in which employees can work together more closely and synergistically. Facing the changes in work styles and social issues arising from the Corona disaster, we sought to create a realistic office space for the New Normal era with the three keywords of "health," "experimentation," and "brand" to create the "way of the future work. We believed that the function of the office in the new normal era would change from a "workplace" to an "innovative space that triggers communication," where a diverse range of people from inside and outside the company can gather and actively exchange ideas and opinions in a way that only the real world can offer. To this end, the communication space "RESET SPACE_2" was designed based on the concept of a "Unique Park," a park-like space that can be used by all employees to accommodate diverse and unique work styles. The space is made of 100% fair wood. CONFERIUM is a proposal for a new meeting room area, and is an attempt to "act displays in the way we work" by daring to actively showcase unique meetings. The know-how used in the displays space is applied to the office space, for example, by darkening the common corridor to make the conference room stand out as displays. The creative office area has adopted a group address system. The creative floor is designed to allow concept design work with an awareness of the "concept design feeling" of scale and materials, which is a major advantage when conducting concept design work. By clarifying the purpose of the space, we were able to create a sophisticated space at a low cost. This project was planned, designed, construction and managed by the NOMURA Co.,Ltd. group.

Kiuchi Construction in Shizuoka constructed a new office building as a 100 year anniversary project. In one corner of the gallery, we were asked to create a gallery to introduce displays's 100 year history for the purpose of recruiting and communication with clients. Showcasing the history of 100 years from the company's founding to the present and the trajectory of its challenges in construction technology, we aimed to deepen the understanding of Kiuchi's history and create a space that can be effectively used as a communication tool for Kiuchi's next 100 years. [Social Issues/Customer Issues/Requests] ・ Kiuchi Corporation's characteristics were expressed well and the facility was requested to have a dignified appearance. ・ We were requested to present information that is easy for recruiters and clients to understand, and also to remind subcontractors of projects they were involved in in the past and create conversations with Kiuchi employees. ・ With respect to displays, we were requested to guarantee renewability. [Solution] Concrete was chosen as the core of the space expression to express the characteristics of the company, which has its own factory and has achieved development by actively engaging in the concrete business. The concrete that supported displays's growth is also used as fixtures, giving a sense of the weight of history and creating an impactful glimpse. The wall is a graphic sheet chronology that shows the history of the company, which has always responded to the needs of the times and grown while overcoming the waves of economic boom and bust from its founding. In the central showcase, we present diorama models of the milestones in our 100 year history. Instead of displaying the completed architecture, we created a model of the construction scene to make it easier to understand as an illustration. In addition, by elaborately representing the people involved in the construction work as models, we created a displays with a sense of presence that makes it possible to hear the sounds of the site, as well as the breathing and voices of the people of Kiuchi Construction and its partner companies. < our company Project Members > [Sales] Ken Kumagai [design, layout] Yoshihiro Kitamura [Production/construction] Kazuo Maeda

KidZania is operated by KCJ GROUP Co., Ltd. and is a "city where children play the leading role" where they can learn about the structure of society while having fun. The "publisher" pavilion, which opened in a corner of "KidZania Tokyo" in LaLaport Toyosu, allows you to experience the "joy of creating a book" through the flow of planning and editing until the creation of a new book. In this pavilion, as an editor, I will work on editing the "picture book" and "picture book". When editing the picture book, I used photographs of living creatures and thought of pages and covers that would surprise the reader. I think You can also take home the "picture book" or "picture book" edited by the participants. We understand the space concept created by KCJ GROUP, which supervises both space and application, and the planning elements of the content, and make a plan that takes into consideration the operation. We provided quality based on the concept in terms of constrained schedule and cost. <Our project members> [Project management] Kaori Suwabe, Daichi Kawamoto [Creative direction] Eiji Kawasaki, Kana Aoe [Product direction] Hiroki Kimura, Yuta Yamaguchi [Creative engineering] Masahiro Nishikawa, Naoya Miyamoto [Digital content direction] NOMLAB: Yoshitake Soichi
