About Wagon Remodeling Iessenswaggon

Den japanesche Steng-gerooscht Séissktoffel Iessenswaggon ass laang eng wichteg Präsenz an de japanesche Wanteren gewiescht, bréngt Wärmt a beliicht sanft d'Stad wann d'Nuecht fällt. Hien gouf duerch en zäitgenëssesche Designapproach nei imaginéiert. A Kyoto, wou d'Staddbild e Rhythmus vun horizontalen a vertikalen Elementer wéi Gitterfënsteren opweist, gouf hien entwéckelt fir diagonal Elementer, déi aus strukturelle Grënn ugeholl goufen, op eng Aart ze integréieren déi d'Kyoto Stroossen als Grondlag komplettéiert an eng Figur doran formt.

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
