JA 114 Summer, 2019

The 114th issue of JA is the first monograph devoted to architect Hiroshi Nakamura, and features 31 architectural works he has created since founding Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP in 2002. Nakamura has designed buildings of various scales and types including residence, office, commercial facility, church, and public facility, and their structures, materials as well as details are realized through various approaches taken for each. By undertaking thorough analyses of climate, industry, site conditions, and landscape, he has designed architectures that cleave to behaviors and emotions of the people, and hold strong statements through rich forms. By presenting his works over the last 17 years in chronological order, this issue sheds light on how Hiroshi Nakamura has met architectural challenges and how his thoughts on architecture will continue to evolve. 『JA114』では建築家・中村拓志を特集します。

2002 年に NAP 建築設計事務所を設立してから現在まで、31 作品を収録した初の作品集です。 中村の仕事は、住宅、オフィス、商業施設、礼拝堂、公共施設など、さまざまなスケールと 用途にわたっており、それらの構造、素材、ディテールは、それぞれに異なる多彩なアプロー チで実現されていることに特徴があります。 地域の風土や産業、敷地の地形や自然をつぶさに読み解き、そこで活動する人びとの振る舞い や気持ちに寄り添い設計した建築は、その豊かな造形力により強いメッセージ性を持ちます。 本書では、17 年間にわたる作品を時系列で見通しながら、中村がどのように建築に向き合っ

てきたのか、またその思考が今後どのように展開されるのかを示します。

Essay:

Towards an Architecture that Cleaves to Human Behaviors Hiroshi Nakamura (Architect)

This book brings together 17 years of projects undertaken since Hiroshi Nakamura & NAP was established in 2002. Laid out in chronological order, these buildings demonstrate a diversity of structures, materials, styles, and atmospheres ̶ a trajectory that traces how I, by thinking about the users, have explored what optimal architecture is for the environment and regionality of each place.

I aspired to be an architect when I was in an upper grade in elementary school. I used to love tree houses and secret hideouts made of cardboard boxes, and the comfort that I felt in them. Every weekend, my parents took me to temples and shrines where I was moved by the masterful way that the architecture was integrated with nature and the gardens. These all became my primary experiences of architecture. As I learned how architecture takes shape by building connections between various elements ̶ local history and tradition, materials and craftsmanship, and human lives and philosophies ̶ I decided to pursue architecture for living.

When I started my own firm at the age of 28, I sought to remain faithful to the philosophy and methodology of my mentor, Kengo Kuma, while aiming to create architecture that cleaves to human body, which induce us to develop an affection for them. In my early projects, such as the show-windows that invite you to peek in, the experience similar to being enveloped in a cave, or the space that gives you a completely different impressions depending on whether you are sitting or standing, my strong wish for an intimate relationship between people and architecture is evident.

The project that became a turning point as to incorporate nature as the medium between people and architecture was Dancing Trees, Singing Birds, completed in 2007. It is a housing complex that aimed to acquire as much floor area as possible while preserving the existing trees by carrying out high resolution studies and simulations with tree doctors and surveyors. It was an experiment to achieve two seemingly contradictory objectives of tree preservation and economic rationality, by turning a lifestyle situated in close proximity to trees into an added value while sharing the forest by levying a monthly conservancy fee to maintain the trees. At the same time, this concept, which perceives the trees as the prior existence while humans live quietly alongside them, was my small resistance against anthropocentrism.

Upon completion, when sounds of birds resonated and the dappled sunlight flickered through the leaves, I was convinced that the nature will create a strong connection between people and the architecture. Subsequently, I had begun to shift towards the design that serves to draw out nature and the unique elements of place, so that the architecture itself would remain as the subordinate role.

Optical Glass House, completed in 2012, was the defining project that inspired me towards an architecture that connects with human psychology.

At any given time of the day, the client could be called into work where electronic sounds resounded. For such client, I wanted to design a dwelling with tranquility like a mountain retreat despite of being in a city, thus we designed a front courtyard with a optical glass facade, behind which cars pass without sound. True tranquility is to be found not in a closed room with a complete absence of sound, but rather within your mind when no sound is heard in a place that ought to have been filled with them.

人の振る舞いに寄り添う建築を目指して 中村拓志（建築家）

The Sayama Lakeside Cemetery Community Hall and Sayama Forest Chapel, completed in 2014, I was even more conscious of an architecture with relationships mediated by human behaviors. In order to cleave to those in mourning whom words could not completely console, the emotions of those who had come to visit the deceased, or the behaviors such as lowering eyes, putting hands together for prayer and communicating with the deceased, we designed low-hanging eaves that lowered the level of s gaze, a chapel with sloping roofs that resemble hands put together one’ for prayer, and a lounge area where one would feel as if the deceased is speaking to you through the trees and wind. By incorporating local materials and craftsmanship into the nature and scenery of the place, I believed that it would be possible to create an architecture with composite relationships where the architecture and human body exert a reciprocal influence on each other.

Today, the world is becoming increasingly homogenized, and the uniqueness of place and regionality continue to diminish. While the development of information technology and virtual spaces have opened up new possibilities for the human race, I feel that direct exchanges among people and the relationship between humans and nature have become tenuous. On the other hand, we are also seeing a movement that seeks to recover a sense of real relationships, through the concept of local production for local consumption, for instance, or community activities at a local level. Through my own work, I also wish to contribute to this movement.

Past theories of design did not actively make references to human psychology, on the basis that it is a subjective matter that cannot be quantified. Another insight that has been revealed by both behavioral and cognitive psychology, however, is that while people act based on emotions, emotions and cognitions are engendered through certain behaviors. The Japanese term“ furumai,”which means behavior, consists of two Chinese characters: the first one means to imitate an action while the second one means to reiterate. Human beings have woven the web of empathy by repeatedly imitating and reiterating actions within the context of society and culture.“Furumai”is a cultural system that can foster empathy even without verbal intervention.

Through architectures that analyze and cleave to human behaviors, I have s hearts. This is not just sought to realize architectures that touch people’ to create intimate relationships between people and architecture, but also an experiment in creating architecture that can foster better relationships among people, between people and the local communities, and people and nature. In the future, I hope to pursue an architecture that can devote itself to society in an even wider context.

This is a small museum where visitors can feel as if theyr’ e taking a stroll in a forest. The client wanted galleries to display small paintings and a cafe where people in the community can naturally gather under the trees. Therefore, we designed a landscape, where trees cover the slope on the site, and a place under the trees where people could spontaneously meet. By creating a form for the building based on 3D data of the trees we planted on the site, we reversed the usual relationship of the garden and the architecture. The low entrance prevents damage to the branches above, and visitors must bow as they go through it. This evokes a sense of modesty, so people become themselves while viewing the paintings. In the cafe, the architecture also evokes spontaneous behavior, which is similar to people s’ behavior while looking for shade under the trees, or seeking shelter from the rain. 森の中を散策するように過ごす美術館。建主は小さな絵のための展示室と地域のサロンとなるカフェを望んだ。そこで枝葉がまんべんなく広がる林と丘を計画して、 木の下に人びとが自然と集まる場を提案した。三次元測量した植木のデータに添うような外形とすることで、庭と建築の主従関係を逆転させている。上空の枝を避 けた低い入口は、おじぎに似た振る舞いを誘うことで謙虚な気持ちを呼び起こし、素の自分に戻って絵と向き合うことを狙いとしている。カフェでは木の下で日射 しを避けたり、雨宿りをするような振る舞いが生まれている。 38

TOKYU PLAZA OMOTESANDO HARAJUKU 東急プラザ 表参道原宿 Tokyo, 2012

This is a commercial facility located at the intersection of Omotesando and Meiji Streets in Harajuku. Our design was inspired by the stone walls that used to line Omotesando and mirrors the facade of the Harajuku Central Apartments that once stood on this site. The shops facing the street at ground level seem to be independent of the building and form their own streetscape with differing facades. To attract customers to tenants on the third floor and above, we designed a polyhedral entrance space made of mirrors, which creates an enjoyable experience for visitors going through it. The people in the reflections look like colorful, twirling particles in a kaleidoscope, creating a sense of excitement and dynamism. The entry leads people to the atrium, where natural light filters in through the leaves of the trees, and a unique shopping experience that one can have only in Omotesando begins. 表参道と原宿の交差点に建つ商業施設。かつて表参道のアイコンであった石垣の意匠とセントラルアパートメントのミラーの外装の記憶を形象化した。路面店は建 物と切り離し、自立的ファサードによって街並みを形成している。一方、3 階以上のテナントに利用客を誘い込む仕掛けとして、多面体ミラーによる体験型の動線 空間を提案した。着飾った人びとが万華鏡の中のカラフルなパーツのようにめくるめく反射を繰り返すことで、高揚感や賑わいを創出する。その先のアトリウムで はトップライトから木漏れ日が落ち、表参道特有の買い物体験が始まる。

The hall is located on a hillside between the forest from the city. The extremely low eaves of the one-story building blend into the landscape. The water, which serves as the boundary between our daily world and the sacred world, surrounds it. Inside are spaces for visitors, such as a community hall and a dining area, placed around an office area at the center. The lounge has no ceiling lights, so the interior illuminance varies every moment as reflections from the water and the sunlight filtering through foliage enter the clerestory windows. The roof features long, low eaves representing“hangan”or the half-closed eyes of Buddhist meditation, so visitors may contemplate the worlds outside and within themselves.

The hall is located on a hillside between the forest from the city. The extremely low eaves of the one-story building blend into the landscape. The water, which serves as the boundary between our daily world and the sacred world, surrounds it. Inside are spaces for visitors, such as a community hall and a dining area, placed around an office area at the center. The lounge has no ceiling lights, so the interior illuminance varies every moment as reflections from the water and the sunlight filtering through foliage enter the clerestory windows. The roof features long, low eaves representing“hangan”or the half-closed eyes of Buddhist meditation, so visitors may contemplate the worlds outside and within themselves.

Form of Prayer The ceiling inclines inward in order to avoid the tree branches, and the bare trunks of rafters overwhelm the space above. The stone floor is inclined only 10mm toward the altar, which leads to a leaning forward in prayer and the sense that one is in proper posture to meet the deceased. The cracks and joints of the slate extend to the vanishing point, deep into the trees, focusing all attention on the forest. The hands of those who pray interlace their fingers, creating a warm space in the palms. The shape of this building is just like that tiny space created by prayer, as if the architecture prays with the people. When one leaves the altar and returns to their seat, they see beyond the bench a view of a town in the distance. The windows encourage them to return to the daily life.
