About Wagon Remodeling Carbad Bìdh
Tha carbad-bìdh buntàta milis ròsta air clachan Seapanach air a bhith fada na làthaireachd chudromach ann an geamhraidhean Seapanach, a' toirt blàths agus a' soillseachadh a' bhaile gu socair nuair a thig an oidhche. Chaidh ath-mhac-meanmnachadh a dhèanamh air tro dhòigh-dhealbhaidh cho-aimsireil. Ann an Kyoto, far a bheil cruth-aghaidh a' bhaile a' taisbeanadh ruitheam de dh'eileamaidean còmhnard is dìreach leithid uinneagan cliath, chaidh a dhealbhadh gus eileamaidean trastanach a thoirt a-steach, air an cleachdadh airson adhbharan structarail, ann an dòigh a tha a' cur ri sràidean Kyoto mar bhunait agus a' cruthachadh figear na bhroinn.

- Unique Properties
- The Japanese stone roasted sweet potato food wagon has long been an important presence in Japan's winters, bringing warmth and gently illuminating the town as night falls. I reimagined it through a contemporary design approach. In Kyoto, where the cityscape features a rhythm of horizontal and vertical elements like lattices windows, I focused on integrating diagonal elements, adopted for structural reasons, in a way that complements Kyoto's streets as the "ground" and forms a "figure" within it.

- Production Technology
- Initially, the budget was limited, but as professionals in architecture and construction, we decided to adopt an architectural approach rather than a high-precision industrial one. The frame, serving as the main structure, was made with wooden framing by carpenters, and the surface was finished with FRP membranes by waterproofing and painting specialists. By treating it as an extension of our usual work, we maintained quality and reduced intermediate costs with trusted colleagues.
- Inspiration
- In Japan, during winter evenings, people with frozen hands from the cold buy warm roasted sweet potatoes, warming both their hands and hearts with the heat as they make their way home. It is a very familiar scene. When designing, I wanted to capture the nostalgia that resonates in the hearts of the Japanese. I aimed to express this warmth, like the soft orange light seen through a house's shoji screen, in office districts, in front of train stations, and in residential areas.
- Project Duration
- The project started in summer 2020 in Kyoto, with the first unit being developed, followed by the second unit in 2021 and the third unit in 2022 with minor updates. In 2023, the development of the fourth unit was carried out, incorporating the insights gained from the previous models
