使人感到清洁的弧形墙
这是对群马县中之条镇的一个公共厕所的更新。地点在镇中心,位于中野城历史悠久的寺庙–灵修寺的停车场一角。该厕所被要求成为该镇艺术节 “中之条双年展 “的象征,同时也被要求成为一个清新舒适的公共厕所,不像日本的普通公共厕所那样 “阴森”。

Curved Wall Which Makes Cleanliness
It is a renewal of a public toilet in Nakanojo town, Gunma. The site is on center of the town, on the corner of the parking of Ringshoji temple, a historical temple in Nakanojo. The toilet is asked to be a symbol of the town where has art festival ‘Nakanojo Biennale’, and at the same time, is asked to be a fresh and comfortable public toilet which is not ‘dismal’ like ordinal public toilets in Japan.

考虑到公共厕所的维护,我们不是通过使用木材来增加舒适感,而是通过设计空间的对比来消除凄凉感。我们认为,方形公厕的角落是一个令人沮丧的地方,因为它是一个阴影,并寄生着水坑、灰尘或蜘蛛。因此,我们通过消除角落和用顶灯的自然光照亮内墙,实现了一个清新舒适的公共厕所空间。

Considering the maintenance of a public toilet, instead of by using woods so as to add coziness, we remove the dismalness by designing the contrast of the space. We considered that the corner of the ordinal square toilet is a matter of the dismalness, by making a shadow and by parasitizing puddles, dust or spiders. So we actualized a fresh and comfortable space of public toilet by getting rid of corners and lighting the interior wall by natural light from the top light.

形成距离和人流的形式。S型墙在男厕和女厕之间拉开了足够的距离,同时也接纳了来自街道两边和停车场的人流。同时,弯曲的墙体也将人和车从街上引向停车场。尽管是一个10平方米的最小建筑,但它结合了这些元素,如场地周围的人流和车流,内部的舒适性,以及城镇的象征意义。

A Form for Making a Distance and a Flow of People. The S-shaped wall makes an adequate distance between man’s toilet and women’s toilet, and at the same time receives a flow of people from both side of the street and the parking. And also the curved wall induces people and cars from the street into the parking. In spite of a 10m2 minimal building, it combines those elements like the flow of people and cars around the site, interior comfortableness, and the symbolism in the town.
