這是由建筑都市設計事務所設計的位于日本長岡市的市政廳項目，隨著城市及其規(guī)模的不斷擴大，公共建筑都被推到了郊區(qū)，大多是孤立的混凝土盒子。設計師力圖扭轉這種局面，將市政公共建筑重新拉回到城市中心，這個項目就是為打造真正的“城鎮(zhèn)中心”，將建筑置于軸心，人們不管從哪個方向都方便到達，它與人們的每日生活產生了緊密的聯(lián)系。設計師還采用了很多日本傳統(tǒng)的設計概念，使之成為一個公共的聚集的空間，它不再是一個混凝土盒子，空間周圍環(huán)繞親密的設施，這些設施都是由木板或是太陽能板做成的。

 

    With the growth of cities and their scale, public buildings of 20th Century were likely to be driven away to the suburbs, often as isolated concrete boxes in parking lots. We wanted to reverse this flow with Nagaoka Aore. We moved the city hall back to the center of the town and revived a real “heart of town,” which is located in a walking distance from anywhere, working along with people’s everyday life. This is exactly like the city hall historically nurtured in Europe, and embodies the idea of compact city in the environment-oriented age. We adopted the traditional method of “tataki,” and “nakadoma,” which is to function as a meeting point for the community, is no longer the mere concrete box – the space is gently surrounded by placid structure, finished with wood and solar panels.
