Concept
Connecting Living and Mobility
With the development of IoT, everything will be
connected in the near future. How will the
architecture we live in change?
Takenaka Corporation realized the future
architecture of caring and watching life with “EQ
House”. Breathing roofs and walls, and spaces that
grow close to people... Advanced information
technology will connect people with architecture,
information, nature, and mobility and enrich
people's lives.
Archiphilia
“Archiphilia” is a coined term of “architecture”
and “Philia” which means love and friendship in
Greek. “Philia” is a form of love that is particularly
emphasized in Aristotle's ethicology and refers to
spontaneous, mutual affection centered on
common values and goals, without the need for
intervening legal constraints.
As we move from the era of the value of goods to
the era of the value of services, we imagine that the
values we propose in the future will be voluntary
and mutual affection.
"Archiphilia" is an architectural concept that
embodies such a state. By utilizing technologies
such as sensing, IoT, AI, and digital control, we
aim to create a state in which people can
seamlessly connect with architecture, the
environment, information, services, and goods,
and control them by sensitivity, and can empathize
with them.
Connect with a person and life is blown into
In EQ House, mobility enters the house and crosses living space. The transparent interface at the center of the EQ house provides information that allows you to control your environment with hand movements and voice. Dimming film covers space, controls natural lighting and protects privacy. Panels cover the entire space, and top lights connect the inside and outside of the house. Beyond the conventional image of architecture, it looks like a part of nature, and it feels like life is in it.
