We wanted to design a master plan that shows people that there are natural livings in Fukushima and you can come and stay here. For them, we planed a campus with various tourism elements to create a background of economic independence for people who live here. Then we made a master plan reflecting them and also plans about two major buildings which function as landmarks like a tower.
In details about a one of the buildings, we borrowed an idea from ’Babel Tower’, so we can tell a story about humans greeds and overlook, similar to Fukushima accident. It implies that we have to remember prior accidents and try not to repeat them. Also about interior of the building, there is a void space which shaped from existing energy plant. In the other builiding , we formed ’Terrarium’ with curtain wall above the ruins, so we can implement a new viable eco-system in the most polluted centers.
As mentioned above, we tried to express contrasting keywords such as ’natural and as artificial/ ruins and new buildings/ history and future’. To realize them in space, ’natures inside the buildings’, ’the existing buildings partially preserved’, ’forests and memorial spaces’ were planned together.
