一个与客户生产的产品相似的建筑项目鼓励公众参与到工业区中。

An architectural project that resembles the products manufactured by the client encourages public participation in an industrial area.

在冠状病毒大流行期间的创新努力–广岛县的城市。1965年,Sangyo搬到了Tomonoura的铁器厂区,该厂是在开垦的土地上新建立的。目前,Sangyo通过结合使用机床和机器人的制造技术以及传统的自由锻造来制造配件。自由锻造技术已被用于制造 “Tomo Ikari”(在托莫诺拉翻译为锚),并已被指定为有形的地方文化资产。这个项目是一个更大的政府资助的战略的一部分。作为该战略的一部分,这个具体项目旨在支持Sangyo从传统的船锚制造过渡到家具制造。此外,Sangyo将有一个营销计划来销售其产品,并向公众开放以体验制造过程。公司的这种重组是在冠状病毒大流行造成的经济不稳定的大背景下进行的。

Innovative efforts during the coronavirus pandemic – city in Hiroshima prefecture. In 1965, Sangyo moved to the Ironworks area in Tomonoura which was newly established on reclaimed ground. Currently, Sangyo manufactures fittings by combining manufacturing techniques using machine tools and robots, as well as traditional free forging. The free forging technique has been used to make “Tomo Ikari” (translates to anchors in Tomonoura) and has been designated as a tangible local cultural asset. This project is part of a larger government-funded strategy. As part of that strategy, this specific project aims to support Sangyo in to transition from traditional anchor-making to furniture-making. In addition, Sangyo will have a marketing plan to sell its products and has opened up to the public to experience the manufacturing process. This restructuring of the company is taking place in the wider context of economic instability caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

一个邀请公众参与制造的开放工厂和一个销售Sangyo独特产品的商店–客户的设想是将商店、办公室、顾客的休息空间和邻近的工厂结合起来,让顾客亲身体验。客户要求我们创造一个户外空间,其面积大约是整个房产的一半,游客可以在壁炉和户外厨房上使用手工制作的炊具。客户努力创造一个开放的工厂,在那里他们可以保护和推广他们的传统制造技术。

An open factory that invites the public to participate in manufacturing and a shop that sells Sangyo’s unique products – The client’s vision was to combine a shop, an office, a lounge space for customers, and an adjacent factory where customers can have a hands-on experience. The client asked us to create an outdoor space that is roughly half the size of the entire property, where visitors can use their handcrafted cookware on a fireplace and an outdoor kitchen. The client endeavors to create an open factory where they can conserve and promote their traditional manufacturing techniques.

一个旨在举办各种活动的户外空间–我们可以把 “工厂 “重新想象成一个户外空间,因为入口处经常保持大开。在这个项目中,我们更加关注这个可以满足各种用途的户外空间–它位于客户的两个有金属板墙的工厂之间–以及他们产品的材料和质地,如他们用锻造技术制造的桌子。在施工之前,除了面向主要街道的西侧,该前提被三个工厂包围。我们决定拆除客户拥有的东侧的一段工厂,并增加了一面金属板墙。我还设计了一个7×30米的大屋顶,看起来像一张桌子,在长方形的前提下,创造了一个开放的空旷的外部空间。屋顶有80×40毫米的维伦德尔框架,以45度的格子形成,12毫米的结构胶合板连接到框架的两侧。我还安排了向地板加宽的十字形柱子,BH-400×64㎜,和BH-150×64㎜,以网格布局,每隔4500毫米有6个跨度。我的安排是为了让 “池袋 “形状的简单美感更加突出。此外,通过利用邻近工厂的墙壁,我的目的是创造一个自发而有序的空间,在那里可以展示他们的产品。

An outdoor space that aims to host a variety of activities – We can reimagine the “factory” as an outdoor space since the entryways are often kept wide open. For this project, we pay more attention to the outdoor space that can serve various purposes – which is situated between two of the client’s factories with sheet metal walls – and to the material and textures of their products such as their tables manufactured by forging techniques. Prior to construction, the premise was surrounded by three factories, except the west side that faces the main street. We decided to dismantle a section of the factory on the east side owned by the client and added a sheet metal wall. I also designed a large 7 x 30 m roof that looks like a table, which creates an open empty outer space, over the rectangular-shaped premise. The roof has Vierendeel frames of 80 x 40 mm, in lattice formation at 45 degrees, with 12 mm structural plywood attached to both sides of the frames. I also arranged cross-shaped columns that widen towards the floor, BH-400×64㎜ , and BH-150×64㎜, in a grid layout at 4,500 mm intervals with 6 spans. I arranged it so that the simple beauty of the “Tomo Ikari” shape stands out. Moreover, by utilizing the walls of the adjacent factories I aimed to create a spontaneous yet ordered space, where their products can be displayed.

我期待着看到这个目前对公众没有吸引力的工业区,如何通过发展商业和与友之浦的各种旅游资源合作,向周围社区开放。我希望他们能继续将传统技术作为工业遗产传给后人。

I look forward to seeing how this industrial area, which is currently unattractive to the general public, is opened up to the surrounding community by developing businesses and cooperating with various tourist resources in Tomonoura. It is my hope that they will continue to pass on their traditional techniques as an industrial heritage down to successive generations.
