A temporary facility serving events and as assemblies for children, to be taken down and moved in 10 years. It is a product of our search for ‘weakness’ in the structure and outer walls that replace the conventional ‘strong’ structure and ‘strong’ walls. The framework is a grid slab structure considering of two steel sheets 9 mm thick sandwiching an iron grid 50 mm think clamped tight with high-tension bolt to make an ultra-thin slab 68 mm thick.
10 years from now, the structure can be taken down to pieces by simply unscrewing the bolts. External walls are made of soft, thin material called vinyl curtain. They are reinforced with bolts and wires so they stand up well to typhoons. The basic idea was that a free space surrounded by ‘weak’ things would liberate the children’s hearts.

子供をサポートする活動を続けるNPOのための、テンポラリーで移動型の多目的スペース。外部でも内部でもない曖昧で自由な場所を作り出すために、オレンジ色のビニールカーテンで空間を覆った。
ビニールカーテンは通常倉庫や工場の入口に使われる半透明のタンザク形状の素材で、それをワイヤーで縫うことによって、機密性を獲得した。将来の別の場所への移動を前提とし、厚さ68mmmのサンドイッチ構造の鉄製のスラブと114.3mmの鉄パイプの柱とをダボでジョイントするという、解体が容易なユニークな構造システムを採用した。
