  • PLACEMAKING IN ISHIKIRI | Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    石切参道商店街にあるクリエイティブ拠点「ひらくきち」において、テンポラリーアーキテクチャーを活用したプレイスメイキングの実践を通じ、その効果を検証しました。プレイスメイキングは、地域コミュニティを基盤に公共空間を再設計し、利用者にとって「居場所」と感じられる空間を創出する手法です。「ひらくきち」では、1回目の「一体型」設置と2回目の「分離型」設置を行い、利用者の動線や滞在時間の変化を観察しました。「分離型」設置では回遊性が向上し、地域住民や子育て世代の利用が増加しました。また、仮設建築が利用者の自由な発想を促し、心理的負担を軽減する効果も確認されました。一方で、利用方法が明確でないと使いづらさを感じる課題も明らかになりました。本研究活動は、テンポラリーアーキテクチャーが公共空間の新たな可能性を拓き、地域住民の主体的な関与を促進する有効な手段であることを示し、より自由度と柔軟性のあるデザインの重要性を提言しています。【Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.4 FOODHALL koya Previous Next Food hall "eka" that conveys the charm of Koya's traditional crafts Space design / 2021 / KOYASAN Koyasan has given birth to numerous ideas over the 1,200 years since its founding.

    地方小都市の多くでは地域の次代の担い手として期待される若い世代の人口流出が続く状況にあって,まちづくりを担う人材をどのように育成するかが大きな課題となっている。このような状況への対応として,全国の小中学校ではまちづくり学習を実施するところが少なくない。そうしたまちづくり学習では,子どもたちのまちへの関心の醸成や住民参加の促進,まちづくりを進める上で必要となる知識やスキルの習得などが期待されている。そうした中,世界遺産を有し観光地として著名である一方で近年人口減少が続く高野町の高野山中学校では,総合的な学習の時間に実施される「ふるさと学習」において,新たにまちづくり学習に取り組むことになった。【Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 project.1 koyasan workshop Previous Next Planning and Practice of “Furusato Learning” in Koya Town 2020 Action / 2020 / KOYASAN Many of the small regional cities are experiencing an ongoing population outflow of the younger generation, who are expected to be the next-generation leaders of the region. As a response to this situation, not a few elementary and junior high schools across the country are implementing community development learning. Such community development learning is expected to nurture children's interest in the community, promote resident participation, and acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to promote community development. Under such circumstances, at Koyasan Junior High School in Koya-cho, which has a world heritage site and is famous as a tourist destination, but whose population has been declining in recent years, new efforts are being made to learn about town development in the "hometown study" that is carried out during integrated study time. is what happened. Implementation process of hometown learning Koyasan, located in the northeastern part of Wakayama Prefecture, is a Buddhist city centered on World Heritage Sites such as ``Danjo Garan'', the main training hall of Shingon Esoteric Buddhism, and ``Okunoin'', the mausoleum of Kukai. , an area visited by 1.2 million tourists a year from all over the world. Koya Town has made the enhancement of "hometown learning" one of its important educational policies, and with the plan to integrate elementary and junior high school with Koyasan Elementary School in 2024, the curriculum will continue to learn about the local area for nine years from the first grade of elementary school. is being designed. The contents of the ``Furusato Study'', which has been implemented for first-year students at Koyasan Junior High School, differed depending on the homeroom teacher, but in all cases, the content was centered on research to learn about the history and traditional industries of Koyasan. Teacher A, who will be a first-year homeroom teacher in 2020, will consider planning a town development study with the theme of "Thinking about the future of the town of Koyasan" in this "hometown study". At that time, the author, who was consulted, decided to plan and implement the town planning study together with Teacher A. Plan contents of hometown study In response to Koya-cho's efforts to create a walkable town environment, the authors set the theme, "Let's propose what we want Koya-cho to look like 15 years from now." Specifically, we ask questions such as, "How do we want to use the attractive public spaces that dot Koyasan?" The students will think about "" and present the contents of "Future Urban Space of Koyasan". In addition, the sub-theme was set to create a town where local residents and tourists can enjoy walking by connecting tourist attractions with the focus on ``little-known attractive spots'' instead of famous tourist spots. The class consists of four steps: Step 1: Idea Creation (5 hours), Step 2: Fieldwork (12 hours), Step 3: Town Future Concept (5 hours), Step 4: Future Concept Presentation (7 hours). It was planned to be divided into 2 parts and to be held 18 times for 29 hours in total. Step1: Idea making Nine students were divided into three groups and engaged in group work to examine "places in Koyasan that we want to improve" and "ideas for people to enjoy there". Before the group work, the author gave a lecture on conservation of Koyasan's historical landscape and community development. However, all of the groups remained with vague ideas, so in the second work, the students drew a map of ``places they would like to see improved'' on their familiar route to school, and asked them to ``make the places enjoyable for residents and tourists.'' Thinking about spatial ingenuity for After the second workshop, the town mayor gave a lecture on Koya Town's town planning policy. Step2: Fieldwork In order for the students to physically grasp the actual urban space, they worked on fieldwork for about 100 minutes x 3 times. In the fieldwork, the students drew ideas for the use of the space by drawing sketches on-site at three target sites (Kanarin Park, Benten Park, and a parking lot with Kannon-do) selected by the authors in advance based on the proposals made by each group. It was investigated. During the fieldwork, the students received an explanation of the target area from the author's point of view of inheriting the historical space. Step 3: Future conception of the entire town Students worked on group work to draw a future image of the town based on discussions among students. The content is to connect each fieldwork target area and tourist attractions with flow lines so that residents and tourists can discover new attractions of Koyasan, and to consider ideas that make people want to walk around the entire town. . In doing so, the authors advise the students to broaden their perspective on the whole town and develop multifaceted ideas. Step4:Announcement of future concept The students revised the composition and scenario of the presentations they had prepared so far, and presented the final product at learning presentations on campus and exchange meetings with junior high school students from friendship cities. However, the initially planned proposal to the town mayor was not carried out due to lack of preparation time. Outcomes of hometown learning All the first-year students made a proposal about the idea of a base for walking around the city connecting sightseeing spots, which was a theme set by the author in advance, and compiled it into a three-minute video using illustrations. In Step 1, students share the local issue that tourists visit famous tourist spots and there are few people walking around the city, and they will work on "place creation" at shrines, Kanawa Park, Benten Park, Kannon-do, shops, community centers, etc. discussed the idea of In step 2, the ideas for improving the space in the parking lot of Kanawa Park, Benten Park, and Kannon-do include setting up a stone-paved approach to improve the scenery of the pagoda and shrine, as well as stalls and souvenirs aimed at attracting customers and staying for a certain period of time. We examined the installation of shops and benches. Then, in Step 3, the idea was developed into an overall urban design idea with three locations as bases for walking around the city, and proposals such as sharing bicycles and setting up bases for shrines and temples stamp rallies were compiled as the final deliverable.

The client was suffering from a decrease in the number of customers in the osteopathic department. Therefore, in order to first analyze the cause of the sluggish growth in the number of customers, in addition to interviewing 10 staff members, they experienced reception work for two weeks, and analyzed latent requests by paying attention to the behavior and behavior of customers. . As a result, although they were satisfied with the content of the treatment, it was found that the environment of the treatment space did not meet the customer's needs. Therefore, with the goal of realizing a high-quality treatment space where customers can spend a relaxing time, with a budget of 1.5 million yen, we will renovate the treatment room, revamp the pamphlet, website, and staff uniforms, and build an online reservation system. is.

The city is formed around the main training hall called "Danjo Garan". Koyasan is now a world-famous tourist destination, but due to the development of modern transportation, more and more people are rushing around the city instead of taking it easy. Therefore, I designed this folly in the hope that it would be an opportunity for visitors to notice the existence of something invisible and have time to relax and prepare their minds. "Color" represents the world of life that we can see. In other words, all material phenomena, physical life, and destiny. On the other hand, ``empty'' represents the invisible dimension of life, and ``shiki soku is ku'' indicates that the fate of this world is not just a matter of course, but is based on super-dimensional rules. For the building materials of Folly, we used "Koya Reiki" grown in Koyasan. Koyasan trees were widely used as building materials for houses until a long time ago, but due to the influx of foreign materials, they have become less popular. By the way, the lean part should face down and the sardine should face up according to the characteristics of the wood. Since it is a one-day folly, I thought of random stacking, which is not common.

Specifically, the goal is to set up a “manufacturing studio” where children and craftsmen can foster their creativity together, and to create a foundation for new businesses and indigenous entrepreneurs centered on them.

  • KOYASAN FUTURE | Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    仏教の世界を身近に体感できる都市として評価が高く年間200 万人の参詣客が世界から訪れるが、交通の発達により参道を歩かない観光客が増え、滞在時間は短く、奥深い密教文化を十分に理解できない状況である。その要因の一つとして、文化遺産の周囲にある駐車場等が文化的景観の魅力を損ねていることが挙げられる。そこで、参道沿いに点在する老朽化した公共施設の再編を通じて、人々が世代や出自を超えて交感し、高野山の文化を受け継いでゆく拠点となる空間を再構築する。【Kindai Univ.

The situation is incomprehensible. One of the reasons for this is that the parking lots around cultural heritage sites are detracting from the attractiveness of the cultural landscape. Therefore, through the reorganization of the dilapidated public facilities scattered along the approach, we will reconstruct a space that will serve as a base where people can interact across generations and origins and inherit the culture of Koyasan. With the urban structure of Koyasan in mind, you can experience the world view of the two mandalas, which is the teaching of esoteric Buddhism, in the real world by visiting the Omotesando "Machiishimichi" lined with 180 Machiishimichi. Five bases for walking around the town are set up, and the spatial design of the five bases is based on the elements of the “five major elements (earth, water, fire, wind, and sky),” which are also expressed in the shape of “choishi” built every 100 meters on the town stone road. drop into. Maison “earth” A vegetarian café that "receives the blessings of the earth" in front of Koya Shichibenten, the earth god. The children's park, public hall, and vacant lot will serve as a base for walking around town. Maison “water” In front of the sanctuary Danjo Garan, there is an outdoor resting space "prepared with fresh water". The parking lot in front of the Danjo Garan will be turned into a plaza for people. Maison “Fire” An exchange space in front of Kongobu-ji Temple where you can “gather with a lively fire”. Open space development + high school/university/reihokan new building/complex office/clinic. Maison “Wind” A semi-outdoor meditation space where you can “feel the wind” in front of Kinrinto. A part of the children's park is turned into a meditation workshop space. Maison “Empty” In front of Okunoin, you can feel the emptiness of the meditation space and Shojin Cafe.

  • MANZAI GUESTHOUSE | Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | RYOTARO URAI

    インバウンドにより、大阪市内では相次いで様々な形態の宿泊施設が誕生しているが、ローカライゼーションを反映したホテルは決して多いとは言えない。粉もんや漫才など、独自の文化の発信拠点である「なんば」だからこそ街の個性を掘り下げて、体現するホテルがあるべきではないかと考えている。そこで注目したのが「お笑い」だ。大阪の吉本お笑い学校には毎年約1000人の入学者がいるが、人気お笑い芸人になれるのはひと握り。バイトをしながら夢を追い続ける人が大阪ミナミの街には沢山いる。加えて,近年はお笑い業界においても東京一極集中が進んでおり、笑いの聖地・大阪の地盤が揺らぎ始めている。そこで、若手のお笑い芸人が共同生活しながら、訪問客を笑いでもてなすホテルがあれば、お笑い文化の継ぎ手が育ちやすいのではないかと考え、お笑いによるソーシャライジングホテルを企画した。【Kindai Univ. Architectural Planning Lab. | Ryotaro Urai | 浦井亮太郎 | 建築・まちづくり】 Project.5 MANZAI GUEST HOUSE Previous Next A guest house that nurtures comedians in Naniwa "Tayu and Saizo" Business Planning / 2018 / OSAKA Due to the unprecedented number of inbound tourists, various types of lodging facilities have been created one after another in Osaka City, but it cannot be said that there are many hotels that reflect localization. I believe that there should be a hotel that delves into and embodies the uniqueness of the city, precisely because "Namba" is a base for transmitting its own culture, such as Konamon and Manzai. The focus was on “comedy”. About 1,000 students enroll at Yoshimoto Comedy School in Osaka each year, but only a handful of them become popular comedians. There are many people in Minami, Osaka who continue to pursue their dreams while working part-time. In addition, in recent years, the comedy industry has become more concentrated in Tokyo, and the foundation of Osaka, the mecca of comedy, is beginning to shake. Therefore, I thought that if there was a hotel where young comedians lived together and entertained visitors with laughter, it would be easier to nurture the successors of the comedy culture, so I planned a socializing hotel through comedy.
