“Learning Architecture for Learners” Wins the iF Gold Award, the Top Prize of the iF DESIGN AWARD, One of the World's Three Major Design Awards!


Offsetting the phase of the sine-curved beams in three layers provides stiffness, achieving a 25 m timber beam span and an 8 cm slab.
サインカーブ状の梁の位相を3層にずらして剛性を確保し、木梁スパン25m、スラブ厚8cmを実現した。
A timber and reinforced concrete structure in which CNC-machined CLT leaf-vein beams and panels serve as formwork and remain as permanent formwork that also forms the finish. The method has a patent application (JP 2021-042568), and the cost is about 60% of conventional shell construction.
Before construction began, a mock-up of the shoring and formwork was test-assembled at the Honmoku workshop, and concrete was poured into it to verify the process.
CNC加工したCLTの葉脈状梁とパネルを型枠とし、仕上げを兼ねた「打ち込み型枠」として残す、木とRCの構造である。工法は特開2021-042568として特許出願しており、コストは通常のシェル工法の約6割である。
着工前には本牧の工場で支保工と型枠のモックアップを仮組みし、コンクリートの打設まで確かめた。
Models were generated automatically from surface algorithms, through to 5-axis CNC toolpaths, and the form was optimized to be cut from CLT up to 240 mm thick.
The layout and nesting of the CLT formwork were repeatedly refined to improve material yield. The beam formwork joints were verified through structural testing, withstanding up to 32 kN against a target of 15–20 kN.
曲面のアルゴリズムでモデルを自動生成し、5軸CNCの加工パスまでを作成した。形状は最大240mm厚のCLTから切り出せる条件で最適化した。
型枠となるCLTの割付とネスティングを繰り返し、材料の歩留まりを高めた。梁型枠の接合部は構造実験で検証し、目標の15〜20kNに対して32kNまで耐えることを確かめた。
