Te Hoahoa

Mō Life Science Code Whakamaharatanga

Ko tēnei whakamaharatanga he whakaatu i te whakamaharatanga o te Pūtaiao Koiora, e ai ki te raupapa ira o te DNA, te tūāpapa o te Pūtaiao Koiora. Ko te ira he whakamaharatanga o te ora mai i ōna tīmatanga tae noa ki ināianei, ā, kei roto i te whakamaharatanga ngā taonga ā-taiao kua whāngai i te tangata, me ngā mahi toi kua tukuna iho puta noa i ngā whakatupuranga o Hapana, hei tohu o te ora. Mā te pā atu ki ngā tūāpapa kua kohikohia e te tangata, ka whakatinana te whakamaharatanga i ngā mīharo o te pūtaiao koiora kua whakakitea mā ngā whakamaharatanga o te tangata.

Te Whakamihi

Mō te A' Design Award Pāratinamu

Ko Life Science Code Whakamaharatanga te toa o te A' Design Award Pāratinamu, he whakaaetanga tino whai mana e hoatu ana ki ngā hoahoa tino rerekē, ātaahua me te nui.

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: Chugai Pharmaceutical's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey the mysteries and unknown possibilities of life science. As life science now drives drug creation by unlocking genomic information from human DNA, the monument compiles diverse memories etched in our DNA. This includes natural materials evoking Life and materials created by human hands, representing Science, aiming to embody the essence and potential of life science.
Inenga & Pēketanga: This 6m x 1.5m x 2.2m monument embodies human and Earth memories. Its design, based on the human genome sequence, integrates diverse materials: ancient stones, local flora, native trees and medicinal herbs. A transparent stone base, evoking water as the source of life, is illuminated from within, highlighting the genome's varied expressions. The DNA derived design reveals life's mystery through shifting perspectives.
Tūtohu: monument, life science, design, Art, hakuten, memory, Life Science Code
Hangarau Whakanao: This monument crystallizes memories from nature, technology, and culture, archiving them for future generations. It juxtaposes normally incompatible memories, creating a unique landscape and prompting reflection on sustainability. Wood scraps were recycled into furniture, and metal scraps were reused, embodying circularity.
Wero Hoahoa: This monument, while not directly generating profit, aims to inspire and provide spiritual support to life science researchers. It expresses the invisible mysteries of life science, a field filled with the unexplained, where researchers strive to improve human well-being. By touching the depths of people's hearts, this monument hopes to bring color and inspiration to their work, supporting their challenge against the mysterious world of life science.
Rangahau: We were deeply moved to realize that our own DNA contains the inherited memories of the earth. Therefore, we carefully investigated various memories up to now, and collected a wide variety of memories, including natural objects created over a long period of time, human culture and technology, and memories of Chugai's pharmaceuticals.
Whakaaweawe: Chugai's Life Science Park commissioned a monument to convey life science's profound mysteries. The design, mirroring drug creation through genome analysis, uses human genome sequences. The resulting patterns evoke life's beauty and complexity, encoding evolution and human essence. Integrating time-nurtured memories, the monument embodies life's enigmatic mystery. It stands as a testament to the intricate and beautiful nature of life, revealed through the very code that defines us.
Roanga o te Kaupapa: This project was completed in May 2024
It is located at Chugai's new research facility in Totsuka, Kanagawa, Japan.
Rerenga Mahi: Researchers viewing this monument can draw inspiration from its unique landscape, filled with memories from nature, technology, and culture. Viewers' reflections become part of the monument, symbolizing the present moment alongside diverse memories. It aims to convey that genomes exist within us, hinting at unknown possibilities.
