广岛市规划局从竞争中选择了这个设计作为标准。这是一个独特的公共项目,每年大约有5个厕所作为城市的常规设计在公园里大量生产。

Hiroshima City Planning chose the design from a competition to be the standard.It is the unique public project that approximately 5 restrooms are mass-produced in parks per year as regular design of the city

首先,我考虑到 “城市 “中应该包含什么。我意识到强烈地设计 “众多”,这不是公园里的 “一个 “厕所。我的目标是通过在城市的基础设施建设中嵌入方向,使城市成为一个绝对的轴心。通过在同一方向上的建设,每个厕所都有相同的阳光空间。厕所的相同空间在整个广岛是无处不在的。

First of all, I considered that what should embed in “city”. I was aware of designing “multitude” strongly, which is not “a ” restroom in a park. And they should be given a meaning as a whole of the infrastructure in the city.I aim to make an absolute axis in the city by being embedded the direction in infrastructure building in the city.The mass-produced urban facilities have a triangular roof pointing north. By building in same direction, each restrooms have same space by sunshine. The same space of restroom is omnipresence all over Hiroshima.

我在这个项目中设计了3种不同的方案。我提供了东边和西边的2个入口,因此,该计划能够在任何一个入口发挥作用的时候转过来。屋顶也是由混凝土制成的。混凝土在屋顶的锐角部分的边缘用不锈钢尺子浇筑。屋顶在玻璃钢防水后由氟树脂面漆完成。因此,可以在每个洗手间的屋顶上涂上不同的颜色。每个地方都有一个不同颜色的屋顶,与操场相匹配。

I designed 3 variations of plans in this project. I provide with 2 entrances of east and west side, so that the plan is able to turn the other way around as it functions whichever entrance.Structure of the restroom is box frame type reinforced concrete construction. The roof is also made by concrete. Concrete is poured by the ruler of stainless steel in the edge of the acute angle part of the roof. The roof finishes by a fluoric resin topcoat after FRP waterproofing. Therefore it is possible to put the different color every roof of the restrooms. Each location has a different color roof that matches the playground.

我将屋顶倾斜,北面高,南面低,以便能够从眼睛的高度看向北面的屋顶。一个狭长的顶灯在屋顶的中心向南和向北,在空间内外形成朝北的线条。东、西墙的亚克力采光窗和圆形通风孔,以及南墙的亚克力采光窗,都是镶嵌在一起的。它们的作用是控制内部空间的环境。对于外墙的处理,我采用了光催化涂料,使污垢容易脱落。

I incline the roof, the north side is high, the south side is low, to be able to look at the roof facing north from eye-level.A slit-shaped top light goes to the south and north in the center of the roof and creates lines toward north inside and outside of space. Acrylic lighting windows and round ventilation holes in eastern and western wall, and acrylic lighting windows in southern wall, are inlayed. They function that controlling the environment of the internal space. For the finish of the outer wall, I adopted the photocatalytic coating paints that the dirt is easy to come off.

22个公园的22个厕所在2012年3月完成,每年在五个地方依次建成。带有绝对箭头的公共厕所正无限地嵌入广岛市的各个角落。

22 restrooms in 22 parks are completed in March in 2012.It is built around five places sequentially every year. The public restrooms with absolute arrows are being embedded infinitely in all over Hiroshima-city.
