Works#2025

宮ヶ瀬ダム 水とエネルギー館 ウォーターミュージアム「水道ゾーン」は、出展から20年以上が経過したことで改修が必要となり、開館25周年に合わせてリニューアルされました。展示のコンセプトは「水道用水供給事業」の学習機会創出(水道企業団の役割紹介)および、「水道水」に対する意識変容(水資源の再認識・地球環境学習)です。普段は知る機会の少ない、ダムに貯められた雨水が水道水として家庭の蛇口に届くまでの過程・設備・それらに関わる仕事に対する学びを通して、生活に必要不可欠な水道水への感謝や、社会インフラの重要性について学ぶことができます。また宮ヶ瀬ダムを含めた周辺地域が観光地であることから、メインターゲットは周辺の小学校の社会科見学や、休日に来館するファミリー層としています。大型スクリーンによるガイダンス映像、映像のドローンを操作して水道施設を調査するバーチャルコンテンツ、河川の水を浄化するフローのシミュレーションなど、実写とCGを組み合わせたゲーム性の高いデジタルコンテンツのほか、水道用水供給事業を支える企業団の仕事を疑似体験できる展示によって、目的層・無目的層のどちらでも短時間で楽しんでいただける内容となっています。

約400年前、豊臣秀吉が築いた初代大坂城は大坂夏の陣で落城し、徳川幕府により大量の盛り土で地中に埋められてしまいました。本プロジェクトは、400年の時を経て、豊臣期の石垣を地中から掘り起こして整備し、一般公開を行うものです。地下空間に降りて遺構公開を行う全国的にも類を見ない施設において、徳川幕府が再築した石垣とは異なる豊臣期石垣ならではの価値を伝える展示づくりに取り組みました。豊臣期の石垣と解明するまでの過程や、石垣の特徴、石垣が辿った激動の歴史を追体験できる展示ストーリーと演出を組み立て、さらに地上から地下へ、そしてまた地上へと上下する遺跡見学のプロセスと重ね合わせることで、より特別感のある展示空間としました。また、石垣そのものの見せ方を大切にしながら、映像・照明・音響を連動させた一体的な演出で、遺構本来の魅力を伝えています。

Air Water Hokkaido's new facility, "Air Water Forest," is an open innovation facility that tackles social issues to "achieve a sustainable society" and "achieve a safe, secure, and prosperous lifestyle." Restaurant and cafe "Eureka" was created within this facility as a place to disseminate and share "agriculture and food," one of the Air Water Group's initiatives. The space was developed in collaboration with the architectural concept design so that the concept of the facility, "sustainable and prosperous lifestyle," could be felt in the restaurant. Like the restaurant's name "Eureka" (which means "I found it! I understand it!" in ancient Greek), concept design allows customers to discover the rich land of Hokkaido and the natural deliciousness of the ingredients that grow there.

The Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum, which opened in 1970 with the aim of honoring and preserving the records of Ishikawa Takuboku, one of the most representative poets of modern Japan, will reopen in 2025 with the addition of the Tamayama History and Folklore Museum. The two museums are connected by the concept of the word "hometown" left by Takuboku, and the Takuboku Memorial Museum focuses on the Meiji period when Takuboku lived, while the History and Folklore Museum focuses on the 1950s and 1960s, allowing visitors to see the current Tamayama. The entire space of the Ishikawa Takuboku Memorial Museum is used to depict the 26 years of Takuboku's life and the people's activities to honor him from his death to the present day as a huge timeline. Below the timeline, you can see the collections for each era and Takuboku's words from that time. The central symbolic displays displays the organ that Takuboku actually played, and on the large screen in the background, you can choose to watch two original animations, "Takuboku's Life" and "Takuboku and Hometown." There is also a special displays room and a book browsing corner. Tamayama History and Folklore Museum displays folklore materials donated by local residents, as well as folk performing arts and natural scenes, which are preserved and can be viewed using video and information search systems. In the corridor connecting the two buildings, there is a multipurpose hall where lectures and workshops can be held, a shelf displays called "Tamayama Connecting" where mini special displays can be held, and a "visible storage room" where part of the storage room is made of glass. From the windows, you can see the Saito Family Residence where Takuboku once lived, and Shibutani Elementary School.

This is a renewal of the entire store and environment area from the building entrance to the lobby (large hall) of the Takarazuka Grand Theater, which is celebrating its 111th anniversary. Based on the concept of "Dreams start here," we aimed to carefully inherit the charm of the Takarazuka Grand Theater that has been cultivated so far, and to create a space that will continue to deliver dreams to many customers and be loved in the future. From the moment you step inside the building, you will be enveloped in the glamorous world of Takarazuka Revue, and it is a space where you can experience the "extraordinary feeling" and "exhilaration" that leads to dreams and excitement. By unifying concept design of interiors environment and creating the world of Takarazuka Revue throughout the building, we planned a space that will make the time before and after the show more comfortable, and that customers who are not going to the show can also enjoy. By extracting motifs that represent "Takarazuka-ness" from the elements of Takarazuka Revue's stages and shows and the building of the Grand Theater and reconstructing them as modern concept design, we have created a space that will be loved even more by existing fans and will attract new fans, leading to an increase in brand value with an eye on the future of Takarazuka Revue.

This project was undertaken by Takekoma Shrine, one of Japan's three major Inari shrines, to create a lively atmosphere in the local community. Our company acted as the hub, forming a team that united the shrine, the local community, and the company. The team worked on five main areas: "development of the shrine forest," "installation of a cafe," "vitalization of the local community," "promotion," and "creating a new festival." Our company was responsible for the overall production of the project, including planning, logo concept design, design administration, landscaping concept design, construction, exterior construction, cafe opening support, cafe menu development, product development, video production, and PR. Our goal was to ensure that Takekoma Shrine would continue to be an indispensable part of the lives of the local residents and be passed on to the future in a sustainable way. ○ Contents of comprehensive production ① Extraction of customer issues ② Proposal of solutions to those issues ③ Consideration of implementation (operation) system ④ Creation of implementation (operation) system (leasing) ⑤ concept design based on opinions of the shrine and operators ⑥ Product development (food and drink menu, selection of products for sale) ⑦ Consideration of revitalization of the shrine as a whole ⑧ Creation of a promotional video for the entire shrine ⑨ Consideration of CAFÉ promotion ⑩ Opening ceremony planning ⑪ Attracting various media ⑫ Implementing PDCA after opening ⑬ Create a new festival ⑭ Global promotional video for overseas By seeking supporters from our network (mainly local companies), we were able to create a system that can operate independently.

Kurukuru is a public mobility service run by local residents that has been operating provisionally as a means of transportation in Nitto-cho and Daishi-cho, Kawachinagano City, where population decline and an aging population are accelerating after 50 years since the development of residential land. In order to operate the transportation service that supports local mobility with the initiative of local residents, we held a participatory art workshop. Together with members of the art club of a local junior high school and local residents, we held a total of 10 art workshops, "See, Learn, Create," with the aim of reaffirming social issues through art, rediscovering the charm of the town, and fostering a sense of participation in town development among local residents through co-creation.

KOCHIKAME Museum" is a sightseeing base facility for the Kameari area in Katsushika City, based on the manga "Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo" (Here I come, Katsushika-ku Kameari Koen-mae Hashutsujo). We were in charge of the concept of the facility, displays, content planning and design, and construction. In addition, we planned and designed the circulation measures around Kameari Station, construction and promotional measures for the opening of the facility. The two teams, CIC (Content Integration Center), a team of experts in IP content*, and the public works facility team, which has expertise in local government tourism base facilities and city planning, took advantage of each other's strengths. The concept of the project was "The main character builds a facility on his own and then runs away to the town of Kameari! The architecture looks like a stack of comic book frames, with famous scenes popping up interiors and a space that exudes the worldview of the work concept design, creating a sense of existence for the main characters and creating an immersive spatial experience for visitors. Visitors experience a consistent spatial story from the entrance to the exit, as if they are chasing a hero who has escaped. This also contributes to the promotion of the shopping district and local revitalization of Katsushika Ward and the Kameari area. *This term refers to all content protected by Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs).
