Sad days as the Nakagin Tower, by Kisho Kurokawa is dismantled. Work got underway in earnest this week.
Home For All - Ripples in ALL DIRECTIONS /
Today, nine years after Japan was hit by a devastating earthquake and tsunami, which trigged a radiation leak and impacted millions, we announce a short film called 'Ripples In all Directions.' The 15-minute movie was made at the end of last year by Arc'teryx, about our Home-for-All project, which was initiated by Toyo Ito. It is an incredibly poignant yet beautiful movie about our work in the region.
今日で東日本大震災、そして福島第一原発の事故から9年が経ちました。今一度当時のことを立ち返るためにも、去年Arc'teryx（アークテリクス）が制作した15分間の映像をお届けします。伊東豊雄氏ら建築家有志によって始まった「みんなの家」プロジェクトについて取材したショートフィルム「Ripples In all Directions」は、被災した方々の痛みを感じながらも、その美しさにも胸をうたれる作品です。KDaが手がけたプロジェクトも紹介されていますので、ぜひご覧ください。
The film follows 3 of the 16 architects involved in the projects to build community hubs in the area of temporary housing in the Tohoku and Kumamoto region. Pritzker Prize Laureate Kazuyo Sejima, Michiko Okano, and Astrid talk about their experiences and what role these projects and architecture have played on the lives of people in this region.
プロジェクトに関わった建築家の中から3名にインタビューを行い、東北や熊本で被災した仮設住宅につくられたコミュニティの拠点場所「みんなの家」について紹介しています。プリツカー賞受賞者の妹島和世、岡野道子、アストリッド・クラインが自身の体験を交えながら、プロジェクトの役割や建築ができることについて語っています。

Please take 15 minutes today to watch the movie and remember the 19,000 people who lost their lives, the 400,000 homes that were destroyed, and the millions of people's lives that were impacted.
今日のどこかでこの15分の映像を見ていただきたいです。そしてあの日、大切な命や家を失った方々、そして今も影響を受けて暮らしているたくさんの方々のことを忘れず、心をよせていただけたら。
The movie, like our Home-for-All project, proves that through adversity, positivity always wins through. We are proud of the work we have done in this region, and although built as temporary structures, many of the Home For All buildings are still in use and loved by the community. It is heartwarming to see that our project in Soma city still sees 20,000 children using it each year.
この映像やみんなの家プロジェクトは、どんな逆境でも前を向いて進むことが大切だと教えてくれます。このプロジェクトに関われたことを誇りに思うと同時に、仮設的につくられた「みんなの家」がいまだに現地の人々に使われ、愛され続けていることを嬉しく思います。KDaが設計した「相馬 こどものみんなの家」は、毎年約20,000の人が利用しています。
The Home-for-All community response model is something we have been carefully documenting, and we are working to develop it into a significant resource and exhibition by March 2021.
こうした「みんなの家」の経験は、地域やコミュニティに対するあり方のモデルとしても、引き継いでいくべき貴重なものであると考えています。震災後10年目となる2021年3月を目指して、NPO HOME-FOR-ALLでは、「みんなの家」の展示会を進めています。
“ In Home-for-All it’s very much thinking of the people who are going to use it, people who have been through a lot of sorrow and a grief. So you want to put them at ease more than anything.
In times of tragedy you need to get together with other people. Talk it out. And you just feel much more reassured being in a company of others.
Knowing it is not just a roof over your head but it’s about that you have been looked after and you are not the only one.
You are not alone but you are here together with other people and you can support each other,”
— Astrid Klein
みんなの家は、使う人たちのことを第一に考えてつくられました。
たくさんの悲しみや痛みを抱えている被災地の方々に
何よりも心休まる場所をつくりたい、と考えました。
何か悲劇がおこった時は、誰かと一緒にいたいと願うものです。
誰かと話したり、ただ側にいてくれるだけで、
一人ではないと安心するのではないでしょうか。
ただ屋根がある、それだけではなく
あなたのことを想い、気にかけている人がたくさんいる。
決して一人ではないと感じてくれたら。
ここに来れば、一緒に乗り越えてくれる人たちがたくさんいます。
どうか一人だと思わないで。
— アストリッド・クライン
“Over the course of history, Japan has periodically and unpredictably been devastated by large earthquakes and tsunamis.
In 2011, one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded struck Japan. The Tohoku earthquake triggered tsunami that took 19,000 people’s lives.
Shortly after the disaster, a group of architects in Japan called Home-For-All began designing gathering spaces in communities affected by the tsunami.
Since 2011, 16 Home-For-All’s have been designed and built in devastated towns and villages,”
歴史的に見ても、日本は予想不可能な規模での津波を伴う地震が頻繁に発生してきました。
2011年に発生した東日本大地震は、観測史上最大の地震であり、約19,000人の命を奪いました。
震災後、有志の建築家が集い、被災した場所に
「みんなの家」と呼ばれるコミュニティスペースを作りました。
2011年以降、16の「みんなの家」が東北の被災した町や村にできました。
Watch the movie and do get in touch if you are interested in supporting our ongoing work.

doradora longlisted for Dezeen Awards 2019 /
We are delighted that our 'doradora' modular seating design for Karimoku has been long-listed in The Dezeen Awards "Best Seating Design" category. You can help the judging process by pinning doradora on your Pinterest board, just click the link below and pin it by September 1st :-))
カリモクのためにデザインした自由に組み合わせて使えるソファシリーズ「doradora」が今年のDezeen Awardsの一次審査を通過しました！二次審査に向けてピンタレスト投票があるので、みなさんの力を貸してください。9月1日まで投票できるのでぜひ下のURLからピンを保存してください！お願いします！
Doradora is a fun, colourful and flexible seating system for almost any space, whether home, office or a coffee shop. It was designed to make you feel instantly 'at home’, somewhere you can simply hang your jacket, sit down and kick back or catch up on emails. Doradora can be placed independently in any space and can be sat on from both sides, making it relaxed and approachable.
Doradora can be customized to suit the mood and atmosphere of any space with its simple proportions, flexible arrangement possibilities, colourful fabric choices and range of accessories to clip on.
In today's shared economy and shared spaces, current seating design has become rigid and formal. We wanted to bring comfort and the informality of a home into public spaces and offices where most of people today spend the majority of their time.
Doradora's charm is in its simplicity, flexibility, warmth of wood, playfulness of bright fabric colours and refined copper plug and play details.
Doradora looks best when placed as a feature in the centre of a space, rather than along the wall. Depending on the space - and even on the occasion - it can be a long continuous meandering sofa. Or it can be combined into a big welcoming circle. Its modules can also be used as single seaters to compliment any layout.
Watch doradora video directed by picnique and performed by Strange Kinoko Dance Company
With its detachable accessories (coat hanger, plant stand, table, backrest, lamp, champagne bucket…) doradora can fit any occasion whether you need just a side table, sofa, day bed, informal meeting place or somewhere to have a chilled glass of champagne to celebrate the signing of a contract.
All accessories including backrests, can be placed on either side and break the rules of conventional seating which has a strict front and back. Rather than standing by the wall, doradora flows freely throughout the room.
It was important that the accessories plugged into the furniture legs in a simple, elegant and non technical way to keep doradora charming, while giving it the maximum flexibility of uses. The accessories include wooden tables with UV printed patterns and graphic lampshades.
Doradora comes in series of playful coloured fabrics which we have curated with Kvadrat, but can be also produced in custom fabrics and leathers.
Doradora is a collaboration between Karimoku, one of Japan’s largest wooden furniture manufacturers and our office. Available now at https://www.karimoku.co.jp/designer/#doradora

SuperDeluxe !! Thanks for 16 years !! /
After 16 amazing years of thinking and drinking at our beloved SuperDeluxe, things will draw to a planned pause as the building becomes part of a large re-development project - such is Tokyo!
The story began in 1998 in Azabu Juban when we opened “Deluxe” - one of the first shared creative spaces in Japan.
私たちの愛するスーパーデラックスは、周辺の再開発プロジェクトに伴い、16年間の数々の思い出とともにその歴史に幕を下ろすこととなりました。それが東京。
物語の始まりは1998年、私たちは麻布十番に東京で最初とも言えるクリエイティブなシェアスペース「デラックス」をオープンさせました。
The original “Deluxe”
2002 saw us set up “SuperDeluxe”, a full year before Roppongi Hills opened. It quickly become an amazing creative kitchen for music, performance, art and design.
その「デラックス」は成長を続け、2002年、六本木ヒルズがオープンする1年前に、私たちは更にグレードアップした「スーパー・デラックス」をオープンさせました
Since news broke, we have been humbled by your wonderful messages and numerous articles and posts. James Hadfield wrote in the Japan Times:
オープン後もジャパンタイムスをはじめ、様々な反響をいただきましてありがとうございます。
“That it’s hard to imagine Tokyo without SuperDeluxe is testament to the unique place the venue has occupied within the city’s cultural landscape. When architects Klein Dytham set it up in 2002, they envisaged a place that could be something to everyone: live music venue, gallery, meeting hall, performance space and a lounge in which to enjoy the house-brewed Tokyo Ale.
SuperDeluxe - Full house: the amazing 25 person freeform "Orquesta Nudge! Nudge!"
“One of its early successes was PechaKucha Night, a sort of speed show-and-tell session for creative types that ended up spawning editions in more than 1,000 cities around the world. SuperDeluxe has also hosted fashion shows, screenings and exhibitions, but its contribution to the city’s music scene has perhaps been the most significant. Under the guidance of booking manager Mike Kubeck, the venue offered a home to experimental music at a time when few places would touch it. Countless luminaries from the worlds of free jazz, noise, improv and electronic music have played there over the years.
SuperDeluxe Legendary: Morgan Fisher of Mott the Hopple with The 5,6,7,8's of Kill Bill fame
Over time, the scene SuperDeluxe had helped nurture became atomized, spreading out to smaller venues inspired by its flexible, DIY ethos; it’s hard to imagine places like Soup, Forestlimit or Nanahari existing without it. Farther afield, it was a direct inspiration on Cafe Oto, London’s leading venue for experimental music.”
