Concept
The pandemic of COVID19 has forced the world to rethink our method of communication and lifestyle. In addition, the realization of a sustainable society with de-carbonization triggered by global warming, how to utilize reserve resources, recycling, reuse, environmental issues, etc. has become a global issue.
What is the universality of life? The question is what it means to satisfy not only convenience but also desires and lifestyles, and what is essential affluence.
Due to the globalization of information via the Internet and the thoughtless development of capitalism that pursues only rationality, it has become completely unrelated to the context that many places in Japan originally had.
A plaza where you can’t feel the difference no matter which station you get off. A cityscape lined with standardized buildings that do not change wherever you go.
Originally, there was a history and culture unique to the region that many people had cultivated over a long period of time while adapting to the natural environment. Once they are lost, they cannot be easily recovered.
Along with nature and the environment, we will create a unique space from the garden and environment that can only be created in this place.
We “excavate” and “rediscover” the history and culture that has been accumulated by the land and people that have been nurtured so far, which have disappeared, disappeared, and are about to be lost. The essence of “editing” and becoming part of the next culture that is spun not only in the past but also in the present. We are creating spaces and works with the aim of creating such new value.

コンセプト
世界がcovid19のパンデミックによってコミュニケーションのあり方や、生活のスタイルを見直さざるを得なくなりました。また、地球温暖化を契機とした脱炭素や埋蔵資源の活用の仕方、リサイクル、リユース、環境問題などとのサスティナブルな社会の実現が世界のイシューとなっています。
生活の普遍性とは何か。便利さだけではない欲求や暮らしを満たすとはどういうことか、本質的な豊かさとは何かが問われています。
インターネットによる情報のグローバル化や、合理性だけを追いかけた資本主義による思想のない開発によって、日本の多くの場所が本来持っていた文脈とは全く関係ない姿となってしまいました。どの駅を降りても差異を感じられないような広場。どこへ行っても変わらない規格化された建物が並ぶ街並み。
本来そこには、多くの人々が長い時間をかけて自然環境に適応しながら培ってきた地域独自の歴史や文化がありました。それらは失われてしまうと簡単には取り戻せません。
自然や環境とともにこの場所だからこそできる唯一無二の空間を庭や環境から作り上げる。
私たちは、無くなってしまったり、見えなくなってしまったり、今まさに失われようとしている、ここまで育まれてきた土地や人々によって積み重ねられてきた歴史や文化を「発掘」「再発見」して「編集」し、過去だけではなく現代に紡がれていく次の文化の一部となる本質。そんな新しい価値を創造することを目指し、空間や作品を作っています。
