Overview | This is a children's experience facility that fosters children's independence and creativity through work and manufacturing experiences, and nurtures the talent that will lead the local industry in the future. At the "Children's Bazaar," children can experience store management and staff, product development, sales and service, and enjoy shopping in the bazaar with the money (pseudo-currency) they earn from work. At the "Children's Factory," which consists of an exciting atelier, digital workshop, cooking studio, and more, children can experience a variety of programs related to work and manufacturing. |

Issues/Themes | To create an experience-oriented facility for children that will contribute to the industrial development of the region, with the aim of nurturing the next generation of creators. |
Space Solution/Realization | Based on the concept of "A town for children, by children," we developed three designs: "Activities," "Systems," and "Places." For the "Activities design," we created Operation Planning for children to take an active role in participating and taking part in activities, and a variety of experience programs in collaboration with shopping districts and businesses. For the "Systems design," we set up a "Children's Conference" where children can participate in the operation of the facility, and planned business development together with the local community, as a system for the sustainable development of activities. For the "Place design," we completely remodeled the space to maximize the "Activities" and "Systems." We created an exciting space with no exhibits or experience devices, yet where "it seems like you can do anything!" |
