Mō Embraced in Recycled Steel Whare Tari
He whare tari a "Embraced in Recycled Steel" mō tētahi kamupene hangarua rino kei Yamaguchi, Hapani. Ka whai te taha o waho i tētahi hanganga papatupu i whakaawetia e ngā poro rino (steel billets), me ngā peita motuhake e hanga ana i te rerekētanga o te papanga. Kei roto i te whare ka whakamahia te rino koki, ngā pae papatahi me ngā rino whitiki hei rauemi whakaoti, e whakaatu nuitia ana ngā wāhanga hanganga. Ka toro ngā tauira waeherepae me te waehere QR puta noa i ngā wāhi, ā, ka honoa ngā rama LED honotahi i āhuatia hei poro rino ki ngā arai rino kei te tuanui. E whā ngā papa o te whare i runga i te whenua, ā, ko te teitei mōrahi ko te 19.9 mita.

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.
- Āhuatanga Motuhake
- Kyoei Steel recycles steel scrap using electric furnaces. The new Yamaguchi office themed An Office Embraced in Recycled Steel embodies this transformation. The exterior draws from stacked billets while the interior uses locally sourced angle steel and rebars. Barcode and QR code designs extend through office spaces, harmonizing steel and light. The lighting design transforms these patterns into three dimensional forms, adding depth and movement, symbolizing Kyoei Steel’s identity and vision.
