KOKAGE “是一个项目,它在广岛县吴市提出了一种新的地方医疗和社区福利形式,它具有超越社会障碍的 “每个人都能轻松聚集的交流系统”,并由一家医疗公司领导,其理念是 “社区共生社会”,让所有年龄和性别的人都能按照自己的意愿生活。

KOKAGE” is a project that proposes a new form of local medical care and community welfare in Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture, with a “system of exchange where everyone can easily gather” that transcends social barriers, and is led by a medical corporation with the philosophy of a “community symbiosis society” that allows people of all ages and both sexes to live their lives as they see fit.

这个项目是同类项目中的第一个,是一个 “医疗商场”,位于吴市的中心区域,周围有邮局和医院等公共设施,离JR吴站步行5分钟,人流量比较大。它还被要求有一个能够为青少年及其家庭提供心理健康治疗和自立支持的设施,同时还具有向社区开放的信息传播功能,鼓励各种形式的休息和互动。

This project, the first of its kind, is a “medical mall” located in the central area of Kure City, surrounded by public facilities such as post offices and hospitals, and a 5-minute walk from JR Kure Station, where the flow of people is relatively high. It was also required to have a facility that could provide mental health treatment and self-reliance support to youth and their families, and also have an information dissemination function open to the community, encouraging various forms of rest and interaction.

受吴市 “独特的街道互动文化 “的启发,该建筑通过三维编织的街道空间在城市中创造了深度,任何人都可以自由进出该建筑。其目的是创造一个 “阴凉 “的城市空间,通过增加空间的自由度,人们可以在一个自然和舒适的地方休息腿。

Inspired by Kure’s “unique culture of interacting in the streets,” the architecture creates depth in the city by weaving three-dimensionally through the street space where anyone can freely enter and leave the building. The aim is to create a “shady” urban space where people can rest their legs in a natural and comfortable place by increasing the degree of freedom of space.

为了创造尽可能多的不同人流,我们在建筑前保证了足够的 “拉力”(外部空间),并规划了一个布局,将街道引向场地内部。此外,为了在建筑内部创造一个开放的空间,四个板块被跳过,并通过垂直流线连接,创造了一个上下的人流,并通向屋顶。一个由板块组成的格子在最上层升起,用 “阴凉 “包裹着这个三维空间。

In order to create as many different flows of people as possible, we secured sufficient “pull” (external space) in front of the building and planned a layout that draws the street into the interior of the site. In addition, in order to create an open space inside the building, four slabs are skipped and connected by vertical flow lines, creating a flow of people up and down, and leading to the rooftop. A lattice of slabs rises up at the uppermost level and wraps this three-dimensional space with “shade”.

这四块板子具有微妙的不同功能,如活动、休息、等待和聊天,医疗机构的使用者和任何人都可以自由使用。我们相信,创造一种环境,有助于遏制最近因互联网环境的发展和强制不出门而导致的身体活动的低迷,这对于未来 “医疗 “将超越单纯的治疗并继续与人发生关系的社会是至关重要的。

These four slabs, which have subtly different functions such as activity, rest, waiting, and chatting, can be used freely by medical facility users and anyone. We believe that the creation of an environment that will help curb the recent slump in physical activity, which has been spurred on by the development of the Internet environment and the mandatory refraining from going out, is essential for a society in which future “medical care” will go beyond mere treatment and continue to relate to people.
