Hiyoshi Pavilion

English

This is a temporary pavilion project that utilizes the outdoor space of Keio University Hiyoshi Campus. As a result of the numerous problems related to the lack of face-to-face interaction between students during the pandemic, there is an increased awareness of the importance of informal interaction. When face-to-face classes resumed in 2022, we proposed a place for interaction outside of the class. Specifically, we selected the site of the former 5th Building, which had been underused for a long time. Our proposal is a small-scale wooden rest facility that can be made at a low cost. Our proposal also serves as an experiment to confirm the positive effect of outdoor use.

The design consists of benches softly covered by fabrics. The shape of benches is designed to induce conversations between users and hide the foundations. We built wooden frames on top of them and covered the space with triangular mesh fabrics arranged in a checkered pattern, casting soft light and shadows. We allowed students to join the design, construction, and management process. To make heavy machinery unnecessary, we used only cedar 60 mm square lumber with a length of 3.6 m or less that can be carried by a few people. Also, the foundation was made of sandbags. By using only screws for joining and eliminating the diagonal cutting, the pavilion was finished in 12 days almost by students.
