About the Project

Overview The concept is "A museum that everyone can continue to create together." The aim is for a diverse range of people, mainly local residents, to gather, interact, and "inherit the history of the region, explore its charm, and create a future with the people of Toyota City" through various activities. The permanent exhibition has the theme of "Toyota's nature and people's activities," and is a place where visitors can encounter, interact, and explore "Toyota" through exhibits of "objects" related to "Toyota" and the "memories" of the people.
Issues/Themes To consider suitable exhibition methods to introduce Toyota City 's history, culture, industry, nature, and people's lives. Also, to present how an open museum should be, where citizens can actively participate, including projects that utilize local resources.
Space Solution/Realization From the planning and design stages, we created a system for citizen participation through workshops with citizens. For the exhibition, we presented a method of telling the story of "Toyoda" through a wide variety of materials across genres, and an "ennichi space" where citizens and businesses could hold exhibitions like a festival day. We created a symbolic space where architecture and exhibitions were integrated. We also prepared a variety of exhibition fixtures to support the exhibition creation by curators and citizens.
Design for Environment Universal Design: After repeated trials with people with disabilities, we created the display fixtures and explanatory panels. We also provided explanations in multiple languages, based on the idea of multicultural coexistence.
Cultural property Preservation Planning: We coordinated with Architectural Design to design storage fixtures to accommodate materials from a wide range of fields, as well as the flow of materials and layout of the storage facility.
