Sophia University Building 15

Sophia University Building 15

Sophia University Yotsuya Campus Building 15 aims to contribute to the achievement of SDGs and the realization of a decarbonized society, and to become a sustainable landmark in the region, with the keyword "turning the city into a forest". It was opened as a base for education and regional exchange. It is a three-story wooden fireproof structure designed and construction by Sumitomo Forestry, and the main structure uses Kigurumi FR®, an original pure wood fireproof laminated timber made from Tama-produced cedar. The façade, which is covered with a criss-crossed wooden latticework, is concept design that expresses the founding principles of Sophia University: diversity, interaction with others, truth, and tradition. The first floor will be used to operate a cafe that can be used by the general public, and as part of community contribution activities, we plan to provide space that can be used as a disaster prevention warehouse to neighboring neighborhood associations. The second and third floors are also used for classrooms for ``Professional Studies,'' a course for working adults. Our company was in charge of design, layout, and construction of the third floor, which is used as a classroom for courses for working adults. We aim to create a space that is a place to gather, learn, and talk about nurturing wisdom, and we also connect stories from architecture to the materials that make up the space, using Nishikawa wood from Hanno, which built the town of Edo together with materials from Tama. concept design utilizes Japanese cedar and cypress.

Fukunuma Umino Square

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.

Muroran City Environmental Science Museum

Muroran City Environmental Science Museum

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.
