Iiyama Plaza (Proposal)
飯山ぷらざプロポーザル最優秀選定
Kengo Kuma & Associates won the first prize for the proposal-typed competition to design and supervise “Iiyama Plaza (tentative name)” in Nagano Prefecture.
In the project, the 49-year old civic hall will be replaced by the new “Plaza,” which is expected to promote cultural activities and enhance the quality of public services for the town. The “Plaza” comes at the existing Iiyama Station. Together with the new station for Hokuriku Shinkansen, which starts its operation in two years’ time, it will give an additional attraction to the town.
For this small northern Shinshu town, which is going to enliven itself with the running of Shinkansen, we proposed an idea of a “street,” in order to create a new community and activity. The halls and other facilities in the plaza will bring in and further grow the liveliness of the town via passages in and out of the building, and function as the center of revitalization of the town.

築49年になる市民会館の老朽化に伴い、芸術・文化の振興や市民サービスの向上と、平成26年度に迫った北陸新幹線飯山駅開業を契機とした魅力あるまちの創出の為に、現市民会館に代わる「 (仮) 飯山ぷらざ」が現飯山駅脇に建設されます。
我々は新幹線と共に新しく生まれ変わろうとする北信州の小さな街に、にぎわいとコミュニティを生む「道」を提案しました。劇場と付帯施設が内外に繋がる道を媒介として、街のにぎわいを引き込み、増幅させながら地域活性化の拠点を創出します。
