オーストラリアハウス設計競技応募案 ― 2011/09/28
大地の芸術祭 越後妻有アートトリエンナーレにおける日豪交流の拠点であり、オーストラリア人アーティストの滞在・制作・発表や日豪の共同プロジェクトの場となる「オーストラリア・ハウス」の設計競技応募案です。
イタリア人建築家のマルコ・ポンピリ、スイス人キュレーターのカーン・トリン、オーストラリア人アーティストのスー・ペドレー、そして日本人建築家の僕によるコラボレーション・チームTIPPとして応募しました。
われわれのアイデアは、越後妻有の住宅に特徴的な屋根頂部の雪割りと高床をオーストラリアのイニシャルＡと組み合わせたpointed-A（先端の尖ったＡ）をデザインモチーフに全体を構成するというものです。４人のイニシャルからとったチーム名TIPPも先端（tip）という意味をかけています。
かなり面白いメンバー構成と意欲的な設計案でしたが、残念ながら審査員である安藤忠雄、トム・ヘネガン、北川フラム３氏の心を掴むには至りませんでした。
以下、設計趣旨です（英語です）。
1) Design Motif :
Snow-cutter rooftop + Raised-floor + Initial A = Pointed-A
We propose Pointed-A as a design motif for the Australia House. It consists of 3 elements: snow-cutter rooftop(yuki-wari), raised floor(taka-yuka) and initial 'A' of Australia.
Snow-cutter rooftop and raised floor are characteristic devices for houses in the Echigo-Tsumari region, which experiences extremely heavy snowfall each winter. These regional elements are reflected in the letter 'A'.
Pointed-A motif is utilized repeatedly in elevations, sections and structures of the building. Combined with the letters 'USTRALIA HOUSE', Pointed-A elevations function as signs. Pointed-A structures are arranged along a curved line in such a way to enclose an exterior plaza. The scale of each section changes in response to spatial characters and functions. Snow-cutter rooftop is combined with skylights, providing additional light source for the interior.
2) Pointed-A as a symbol of regeneration
We propose that Pointed-A motif is an appropriate symbol of Japan’s recovery from the earthquake.
The shape of 'A' shows hands put together in prayer, symbolizing the deepest sorrow for the dead and our hope for peace. It also shows two elements supported each other, symbolizing the cooperation of people. And being the first letter of the alphabet, 'A' can symbolize a new beginning.
3) Engawa-steps
Taking the inspiration from the 'Engawa' of traditional Japanese houses, which functions as an informal entrance and a place to exchange news with neighbours, we propose a spatial device named Engawa-steps. It provides a smooth transition from the building to the plaza and can function as informal meeting place between resident artist(s) and local community.
4) Environmental Considerations
Windows, terraces and court are arranged for providing comfortable wind flow & natural light into the interior. Raised floor is effective not only for snowfall in winter but for humidity in summer.
Solutions by equipment are evolving day by day. In actual design stage, based on detailed simulations, appropriate solutions will be selected.
