Osaka University Machikane Nursery school

 Back to Projects list
Location
Osaka, Japan
Year
2012

A nursery school for university officials designed on the Osaka University Toyonaka campus as an advanced example of the realization of a gender-equal society and the conversion of public buildings to wood. Another place like a "home" to spend many hours of the day, with its location facing the spacious and diverse environment on the university campus, such as ponds and slopes, placed in three forks facing three gardens It is a plan to connect the various rooms in an open space that also serves as a flow line. Beams extending from the deep eaves to the hallway gradually change the length, twisting and covering the central open space, creating an iconic square-like space. We proposed an architecture that has a single roof and is centripetal, but also has the dynamic that you want to run toward the garden and pond.
