Fukuyama Station Police Box Office Building Construction Proposal / 2021 / Finalist

Fukuyama Station Police Box Office Building Construction Proposal Application. What was very impressive when I visited Fukuyama was the Fukuyama Castle adjacent to Fukuyama Station. Today, the Fukuyama Castle Park is located on the north side of the station, and the planned site is the area where the San-no-Maru of Fukuyama Castle was located, as the name of the site suggests. Therefore, we proposed to incorporate the design of the Fukuyama Castle stonewalls into the design to give a sense of the vast area of Fukuyama Castle at that time and to fit in with the town. By creating a symbolic architecture that looks like a house or a monument depending on the angle you look at it, we aim to create a police box that will become a symbol of Fukuyama’s identity, one that is easy to recognize, friendly, and gives a sense of security that the area around the police box is always being watched over. In addition, the design of the stone wall expresses the familiarity of Fukuyama Castle and the strength of the stone wall to protect the castle, harmonizing with the surrounding environment to create an attractive police box with a sense of police style. We wanted to design a building that would be familiar and loved by the community not only after it was built, but also as it was used and passed through time.

石垣のような街のシンボルとなる交番 / 2021 / 入選

福山東警察署駅前交番庁舎新築工事公募型建築プロポーザル応募案。福山に訪れてとても印象的だったのは、福山駅に隣接する福山城だった。現在では駅を挟んで北側に福山城公園があり、計画地は地名からもわかる通り、福山城の三之丸があったエリアである。そこで当時の広大な福山城のエリアを感じられ、かつ街の中へ馴染むデザインとして福山城の石垣の意匠を取り込むことを提案した。見る角度により家のようにもモニュメントのようにも見える象徴的な建築とすることで、交番周辺をいつでも見守っているという安心感や親しみやすく、認識し易く、福山らしさの感じられるシンボルとなる交番を目指す。また、石垣の意匠で、身近な福山城の親しみやすさと城を守るための石垣の力強さを表現し、周辺環境と調和し警察らしさを感じさせる魅力ある交番となるよう図る。建ててお終いとなる建築ではなく、建てた後も使用され時を経ることで、より地域に馴染み愛される建築となるよう設計したいと考えた。
