About Marche Vison Margadh Bìdh

'S e margadh bìdh a th' ann am Marche Vison a chaidh a thogail ann am baile Taki, ann an sgìre Mie, Iapan. Tha an togalach air a roinn ann an ceithir sgiathan a tha suidhichte fo mhullaichean mòra lùbte. Tha leacan ceumnaichte ceangailte le leathadan, agus tha claonadh nam frèamaichean fiodha co-thaobhaichte gus aon rùm leantainneach a chruthachadh. Tha togalaichean nas lugha nan seasamh fon mhullaichean, a' cruthachadh raon coiseachd de chaol-shràidean agus cheàrnagan. Tha an rùm fosgailte fon mhullaichean a' cumail luchd-tadhail ann an conaltradh ris na ràithean agus a' lùghdachadh cleachdadh lùtha. Bidh an t-uisge a' tuiteam bho na h-anainnean mar chùirtear, agus tha lùbhraichean fiodha ionadail mu choinneimh na luath-rathaid.

Production Technology: The building is divided into four wings, however, the staircase-like slabs are connected by slopes, and the pitch of the wooden frames is continuously aligned to ensure a unified space. The continuous shape from the hill in front of the building to the large roof draws the eye upward, creating an expansive landscape. Several smaller volumes are placed beneath the large roof, generating a diverse walking area with a maze-like network of alleys and plazas.
Design Challenge: Striking a balance between commercial feasibility and preserving the site's unique 'genius loci' was the greatest challenge in this design. We aimed to create a landscape integrating seamlessly with the promotion of local industry while ensuring sustainable prosperity. The incorporation of the natural surroundings posed challenges, as considerations such as signage and lighting could disrupt the natural aesthetic. Such considerations required powerful vision and acute attention to detail.
Research: Commerce is ever-evolving and long-term control over its design is nearly impossible. Thus, we chose to disentangle the commercial timeline from that of the landscape. By creating two distinct layers - one of the large roofs and another of small retail boxes, we aim to balance the slowly changing landscape with the dynamism needed in commerce to maintain constant freshness. As commercial trends shift, our expansive roofs stand ready to accommodate these changes and stand the test of time.
Inspiration: Rain and sunshine are vital elements that nurture a multitude of crops. Our expansive roofs, designed with the concept of the water cycle in mind, symbolize the absorption of energy through a curved surface extending over the ground. The structures supporting these roofs are inspired by the repetitive torii gates at the Akone Yashiro Shrine, located within the precincts of the Ise Grand Shrine. These gates stand as a symbol of prayers for abundant harvests, rich fishing yields, and thriving businesses. This symbolism is particularly fitting for a facility that focuses on promoting local produce.
Project Duration: It opened in 2021 as part of Vison in Taki town, Mie prefecture, Japan.
Operation Flow: Our facility's expansive roofs cover an open-air space underneath, allowing visitors to reconnect with the changing seasons, often overlooked in modern retail. With this simple approach, the design reduces energy consumption to address environmental concerns. Raindrops descend regularly from the eaves, creating a 'rain curtain'. Local wooden louvres are incorporated on the side facing the expressway, adding warmth and harmony. We aim to protect and share the natural region's beauty, promoting sustainable preservation.
