About Life Science Code Cofeb
Mae'r gofeb hon yn mynegi cof Gwyddor Bywyd yn seiliedig ar ddilyniant genom DNA, sylfaen Gwyddor Bywyd. Genom yw cof bywyd o'i darddiad hyd heddiw, ac mae'r gofeb yn ymgorffori gwrthrychau naturiol sydd wedi meithrin pobl, ynghyd â chrefft a drosglwyddwyd trwy'r oesoedd yn Japan, fel olion bywyd. Wrth gyffwrdd â'r gwreiddiau y mae pobl wedi'u cronni, mae'r gofeb yn ymgorfforiad o ddirgelion gwyddor bywyd a ddadlennwyd trwy atgofion dynol.
About the Gwobr Blatinwm A' Design Award
Mae Life Science Code Cofeb yn enillydd Gwobr Blatinwm A' Design Award, cydnabyddiaeth hynod fawreddog a roddir i ddyluniadau gwirioneddol eithriadol, cain a godidog. Mae enillwyr Platinwm yn rhyfeddodau creu, yn dystiolaeth i derfynau creadigrwydd deallusol, ac yn dangos proffesiynoldeb ac athrylith diguro eu dylunwyr. Disgwylir i'r dyluniadau hyn fod y gweithiau enwocaf sydd yn diffinio estheteg oes, yn cyfrannu at les cymdeithas ac yn gwthio ffiniau celf, gwyddoniaeth, dylunio a thechnoleg. Mae Life Science Code Cofeb yn arddangos lefel drosgynnol o ragoriaeth ac yn gwneud y byd yn lle gwell yn ddiamau gyda'i nodweddion manteisiol a gwerthfawr. Mae Life Science Code Cofeb yn waith buddugol Gwobr Blatinwm A' Design Award sydd yn deffro dyheadau, yn ysbrydoli, yn cyffroi, yn swyno ac yn cynnau llawenydd mawr.
Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Chugai Pharmaceutical's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey the mysteries and unknown possibilities of life science. As life science now drives drug creation by unlocking genomic information from human DNA, the monument compiles diverse memories etched in our DNA. This includes natural materials evoking Life and materials created by human hands, representing Science, aiming to embody the essence and potential of life science.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- This 6m x 1.5m x 2.2m monument embodies human and Earth memories. Its design, based on the human genome sequence, integrates diverse materials: ancient stones, local flora, native trees and medicinal herbs. A transparent stone base, evoking water as the source of life, is illuminated from within, highlighting the genome's varied expressions. The DNA derived design reveals life's mystery through shifting perspectives.

- Production Technology
- This monument crystallizes memories from nature, technology, and culture, archiving them for future generations. It juxtaposes normally incompatible memories, creating a unique landscape and prompting reflection on sustainability. Wood scraps were recycled into furniture, and metal scraps were reused, embodying circularity.
- Design Challenge
- This monument, while not directly generating profit, aims to inspire and provide spiritual support to life science researchers. It expresses the invisible mysteries of life science, a field filled with the unexplained, where researchers strive to improve human well-being. By touching the depths of people's hearts, this monument hopes to bring color and inspiration to their work, supporting their challenge against the mysterious world of life science.
- Research
- We were deeply moved to realize that our own DNA contains the inherited memories of the earth. Therefore, we carefully investigated various memories up to now, and collected a wide variety of memories, including natural objects created over a long period of time, human culture and technology, and memories of Chugai's pharmaceuticals.
- Inspiration
- Chugai's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey life science's profound mysteries. The design, mirroring drug creation through genome analysis, uses human genome sequences. The resulting patterns evoke life's beauty and complexity, encoding evolution and human essence. Integrating time-nurtured memories, the monument embodies life's enigmatic mystery. It stands as a testament to the intricate and beautiful nature of life, revealed through the very code that defines us.
- Project Duration
- This project was completed in May 2024
It is located at Chugai's new research facility in Totsuka, Kanagawa, Japan. - Operation Flow
- Researchers viewing this monument can draw inspiration from its unique landscape, filled with memories from nature, technology, and culture. Viewers' reflections become part of the monument, symbolizing the present moment alongside diverse memories. It aims to convey that genomes exist within us, hinting at unknown possibilities.
