此环境教育设施位于农田中:自然环境以现场保留的里山为重点,十分罕有。由于场地中的森林经修剪以改善其环境,所以我们设计了一个大型木质空间,采用 “薄而短” 副产木片搭建富有吸引力的结构框架。此互承结构由取自原木的小木片搭建而成,而非采用源于遥远生产场所的层压木材,打造了一个外层包覆独特薄短木片的空间,巧妙融入周边环境之中,利用建筑空间本身进行环境教育。

This is an environmental education facility situated in its field: the rare natural environment focused on the satoyama remaining on the site. Since the forest on the premises has been thinned to improve its environment, we designed a large wooden space with an attractive structural framework using "thin and short" byproduct wood pieces. A reciprocal structure made of small pieces available from logs, instead of laminated lumber sourced from a far production site, created a space wrapped in distinctive thin short wood pieces, blending in with its surroundings, to make use of the architectural space itself for environmental education.
