Building 15 at Sophia University's Yotsuya Campus opened in the fall of 2022 as a hub for adult education and community exchange, with the keyword "Transforming the city into a forest," aiming to contribute to achieving the SDGs and realizing a decarbonized society, as well as becoming a sustainable landmark for the region. Designed and construction by Sumitomo Forestry, this three-story fire-resistant wooden building utilizes "Kigurumi FR®," an original pure wood fire-resistant laminated timber made from Tama-grown cedar, for its main structural components. The facade, covered with a cross-shaped wooden lattice, is concept design that expresses the founding principles of Sophia University: "diversity," "interaction with others," "truth," and "tradition." The first floor will house a café open to the public, and as part of community contribution activities, space will be provided to nearby neighborhood associations for use as a disaster prevention warehouse. The second and third floors are used as classrooms for the "Professional Studies" course for working adults. Our company was responsible for design, layout, construction of the third floor, which is used as a classroom for the adult education course. Aiming to create a space that fosters wisdom through gathering, learning, and conversation, we also connected the story from the architecture to the materials that make up the space, and concept design using Nishikawa timber (cedar and cypress) from Hannō, which, along with Tama timber, has been used to build the city of Edo.

Since opening in 2011 at the east exit of JR Urawa Station, East Medical Clinic's newly built medical facility in Urawa PARCO has been used for internal medicine, breast surgery, complete health checkups, and health checkups not only by local residents but also by many nearby companies. This is a relocation project to a mall. The opening of the relocation comes after two years of consulting on the target property and redefining the mission as the scale of the clinic expanded.

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.

This is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that was born in Koshimizu Town, Hokkaido, and is a community revitalization and disaster prevention base that has been working in partnership with the public and public, with the aim of creating a lively and sustainable town by creating a place for people to live both in everyday life and in times of disaster. In addition to the town hall functions, the town hall will be equipped with a cafe, laundry, fitness gym, community space, etc., transforming the town hall from a traditional "place you don't go to unless you have something to do" to a new "place you come to naturally." We aim to become a central facility where the town hall and residents can work together to revitalize the town while facing the challenges of depopulation and aging.

Recently, a new geological layer showing evidence of Jomon people mining obsidian has been discovered at the Takayama displays Site and Hoshikuso Pass Obsidian Mine, a nationally designated historical site. A museum called "Hoshikuso-kan" has opened, allowing visitors to see the excavated layer and experience the lives of the Jomon people. The building's exterior walls have changed color due to age-related rust, conveying a message of preserving and passing on the memory of obsidian. Inside displays, geological layers exceeding 20 meters in length and 5 meters in height rise along both walls of the passageway, recreating their appearance exactly as they were discovered during the excavation. The layers have stepped, uneven surfaces, formed by the soil dug by the Jomon people in search of obsidian. Projection mapping is applied along the lines of these layers, recreating the lives of the Jomon people through video. Through immersive visuals and breathtaking geological formations, you can experience the passion of the Jomon people who, for generations, dedicated themselves to mining the precious obsidian, which was found in only a limited number of locations.

This is a renewal project for the Yokoyama Visitor Center in Ise-Shima National Park, Ministry of the Environment. As a place to showcase the greatest charm of Ise-Shima National Park, "the connection between people and nature," displays are structured around three themes that symbolize the lives of people who coexist with nature in Ise-Shima (Ama diver culture, pearl farming, and the forests of the shrine). At the heart of the renewal is the installation of an immersive theater, where four screens—three walls and the floor—present "the distinctive landscapes, rich nature, and lives of people in Ise-Shima" in immersive, high-definition video. Interactive methods have been introduced, such as allowing children to learn while having fun, by touching icons displayed on the screen to see visuals and explanations of living creatures.

The event was aimed at providing elementary school students with an opportunity to communicate with science museum curators and feel closer to science while spending their weekday after-school time in after-school care. Tama Rokuto Science Museum, which we have been managing as a designated manager since 2013, was connected to an after-school children's club in Kodaira City, Tokyo via online broadcast, and a science experiment workshop using balloons was held. Experiments such as "dropping," "floating," "stretching and returning," and "shaking" were conducted in the form of a quiz, allowing participants to have fun while deepening their understanding of the wonders of balloons.

As a successor to the Muroran City Youth Science Museum (opened in 1963), Hokkaido's first science museum, a new facility has opened with "environment" as its theme. The aim is to create displays allow children and people of all ages to become familiar with science on a daily basis and feel hope for the future of the Earth and the region. The environment corner introduces environmental innovation projects that utilize Muroran's unique characteristics and strengths cultivated through manufacturing, as well as initiatives for a sustainable future. In particular, the main displays, "Watching Moruerani," is a virtual displays where visitors walk on satellite images of Muroran spread on the floor and use AR tablets to explore manufacturing sites, renewable energy sites, and natural spots. Visitors can experience scenery that is usually difficult to see in person, such as 360-degree videos of factories and drone footage of natural landscapes. The science experience corner consists of devices that allow visitors to experience the basics and principles of science. Some of the devices from the old building have been remade and reinstalled, carrying on the history of the facility and the memories of the citizens. The scattered devices are connected by experimental counters, creating a more intimate communication space, and playful elements are incorporated into displays, such as large playground equipment inspired by Muroran's natural environment.

In conjunction with the opening of Fukui Station on the Hokuriku Shinkansen, a dinosaur monument was installed on the rooftop plaza of the new tourist exchange center that will be built at the east exit of Fukui Station. The purpose is to give a strong impression of the ``Dinosaur Kingdom Fukui'', increase awareness of Fukui, and encourage visitors to the city. The dinosaur monument is located in a position that can be seen from the Shinkansen platform and train windows. The "Fukuititan" discovered by the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum expresses Fukui's good child-rearing environment and family love, and the sight of two animals huddled together looks like a heart. In addition, we placed dinosaurs whose fossils were found in Fukui and monuments of popular dinosaurs, and took pictures with them.We also used a device that made it look like dinosaurs would pop out in augmented reality (AR) when you held your smartphone up to them. We have developed it as a fun new attraction that will make you feel as if you have entered a world where there are people.
