About Wagon Remodeling Van Manje

Kamyon manje patat kwit sou wòch Japonè a te toujou yon prezans enpòtan nan sezon fredi Japon yo, li pote chalè epi li klere vil la dousman lè lannwit tonbe. Yo te reimajine li atravè yon apwòch konsepsyon kontanporen. Nan Kyoto, kote peyizaj vil la prezante yon ritm eleman orizontal ak vètikal tankou fenèt griyaj, yo te desine li pou entegre eleman dyagonal, ki adopte pou rezon estriktirèl, nan yon fason ki konplete lari Kyoto yo kòm baz la epi li fòme yon figi ladan l.

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
