About the Project
| Overview | This is a learning and exchange facility in Tokyo, newly built in Togoshi Park in Shinagawa City. It is the first public building in Tokyo to be certified as Nearly ZEB under the Building Energy Efficiency Labeling System (BELS). In addition to energy-saving air conditioning equipment that utilizes geothermal heat, it also uses many Environmental Consideration technologies that create their own energy (energy creation), such as solar power generation. In response to the growing need for environmental education against the backdrop of global environmental issues, the basic philosophy is "Connect, Continue, Create - Towards an Eco-Friendly Future". The main targets are "children who will create the future" and "people who support children". The exhibition space on the third floor is composed of Video exhibition room where you can enjoy using your body and a permanent exhibition room where you can learn environmental information through experience. |
|---|---|
| Issues/Themes | The goal is to help users recognize the environment as something that concerns them personally, and to create an opportunity for them to think about their current and future environment and lifestyle, rather than having an image of the environment that is too vague to imagine, or too familiar to be aware of. |
| Space Solution/Realization | How can we make the environment our own? In order to raise awareness of this issue, we aimed to create an exhibition that would encourage people to think about the connection between themselves and the environment. With an emphasis on experiences and sensations as its core, the exhibition encourages people to think about the balance between the environment and their lifestyle from the perspective of the "space" in which they live. It also encourages people to look at the environment through the various scales of "time" that they spend. Through these, we designed the exhibition to encourage people to take environmental issues personally and think about the future 100 years from now. |
| Design for Environment | 3R design: The signs and explanations within the facility are made of recycled materials from daily life, and are designed to raise environmental awareness. Energy-saving design: In keeping with the "Nearly ZEB" certification of the building, the facility was designed to enable rational control of various facilities during operation. |
