About Artificial Topography 人工地形
大きな家具のようにくつろげる洞窟状の空間
《人工地形》と名付けたこの作品は、2011年秋に開催された『神戸ビエンナーレ2011』で、グランプリを受賞しました。コンテナの中をいわばくり抜いたような形で、不定形な洞窟状の空間をつくり出したものです。工学院大学藤木研究室の学生達と一緒に制作しました。柔らかい厚さ10mmのプラスチック素材を等高線形状に切り出して、約1000枚積層してつくり出しました。それ自体がひとつの大きな家具のような空間で、訪れた人は思い思いに自分の体にフィットする場所を見つけて、座ったり寝転んだりしてくつろぐことができるようになっています。

- Unique Properties
- Big Furniture Like a Cave
This is the award-winning project won the Grand Prize of Art in Container International Competition. My idea is to hollow out the volume inside a container in order to build amorphous space like a cave. It is made of only plastic material. About 1000 sheets of the soft plastic material of 10-mm thickness were cut down in contour line form and were laminated like stratum. This is not only art but also big furniture. Because all the portions are soft like a sofa, and person who enter into this space can relax by finding the place suitable for the form of its own body. - Dimensions & Packaging
- It was spaced out across the shipping container's 40-foot length to create.

- Research
- I am a great interest in nature especially the system of nature. Two years ago, my exhibition held in England. In the exhibition, a lot of experimental architectural projects and the execution works in each category that I obtained the inspiration from nature such as “Solar”, “Air”, ”Water”, ”Ground”, “Crystal”, “Biological”, “Flower”, and “Aurora” were exhibited. Because these aimed to approach “Nature” more closely, it was named “Nature-oriented Architecture”.
And therefore, this “Artificial Topography” is the recent project of the Nature-oriented Architecture as “Ground” category. - Inspiration
- Nature
- Project Duration
- This was exhibited during from October 1st to November 23rd in Kobe Biennial 2011 in Japan
- Operation Flow
