竹中技術研究所・耐火実験棟Fire Resistance Laboratories Building環境に配慮した「サスティナブル研究所」Environmentally friendly sustainable research institute緑に包まれた竹中技術研究所の敷地南東端に建つ、国内最高能力の耐火実験装置(※1)を有する研究施設である。既存棟と同じく白を基調とした外観とし、外壁には鉄骨の“機能フレーム”を設置、研究所としての表情を与えた。「庇」(防汚・遮熱)や「足場」(工事・メンテナンス)の機能を持つこの“機能フレーム”には、“緑化外壁”、“太陽光発電パネル”、“風力発電”などの当社環境配慮技術を装着し、「実験検証」と「環境技術の展示場」としての役割を持たせた。また、見学者を迎えるエントリーコートでは格子や庇に新技術・環境配慮素材(※2)を用い、「素材をあるがままに用い古びて行く様を愛でる」日本古来のサスティナブルな思想を体現した。(植村 幸生)This is a research facility having the largest capacity (*1) fi re-testing equipment in Japan, located in the southeast end of the site of the Takenaka Research & Development Institute, which is surrounded by a green environment. The basic color of the exterior was white, the same as the existing buildings, and a steel “functional frame” was provided in the external walls, to give the expression of a research institute. A greened external wall, solar power panels, wind generators, and other environmental technologies of the company are incorporated into this “functional frame” which has the functions of “overhang” (dirt prevention, heat shield), and “scaffold” (construction, maintenance), and which is used for experimental verification and exhibition of environmental technologies. Using environmentally friendly elements (*2) and new technologies in the frame and the overhang at the entry court, Japan’s original sustainable concept of “using materials as they are and admiring them as they age” is embodied.
