寺院に建つ参拝者用トイレである。与えられた敷地は小さいながら境内を彩る木々が生え並ぶ敷地で、植物を残しながら参拝者のトイレも確保できる方法を検討した。建物を一棟とせず、個室単位の分棟配置とすることで、木立の間を縫うように建っている。構法は地場の間伐材を利用した60mm板厚の無垢木造パネル造とした。間伐材パネルが構造体・内装材・外装材を兼ねる極めてシンプルな納まりとなり、柱梁のない素朴で新しい工法となっている。
It is the public restroom in a temple of the Shikoku Pilgrimage in Japan. Because buildable area was left only among the trees, the way both keeping the trees intact and getting enough spaces for restroom was considered. In response to that agenda, we adopt the arrangement that separates it into 3 buildings. Each of them, as large as individual booth, is settled as if to fill the niche and therefore they stands demurely in the temple scene. As the construction method, the restroom is made by 6cm thick thinning-wood panel of local cypress. The panel is used as structure, exterior and also interior material and that simple detail makes new spaces without beams and columns. |
