About Time Capsule Shaqada Ugu Muhiimsan: Baakadh

Qoraalka Buugga: Time Capsule waa baakadh loo naqshadeeyay maktabad bulsheed oo ku taalla Magaalada Nishi-Tokyo. Time Capsule waa lagu deymiyaa isticmaalayaasha maktabadda sannad kasta. Waxaa gudaheeda lagu kaydiyaa alaabo shakhsi ah oo qiimo leh iyo xusuus-qorka qoyska, iyadoo isticmaaluhu qeexo taariikh iyo waqti loo furayo. Baakaddu waxay u ekaan sida buug, sidaas darteed waxaa lagu soo bandhigi karaa alwaaxyada dhaadheer ee isticmaaluhu aan gaarin karin, halkaas oo buugagta aan sida ammaanka ah loo dhigi karin xilliyada dhulgariirka. Shan midab ayaa dhaqdhaqaaq ku darsanaya goobta iyagoo ilaalinaya jawi deggan. Midabbo ka hortagaya baaba'a iyo waraaq ka hortagaya qallooc ayaa ku habboon soo bandhigidda muddada dheer.

Unique Properties: Time Capsule are loaned to the Machi Library located in MUFG PARK users on an annual basis. Users keep their treasures and family mementos etc. in this package, and set the date and time to open . It would deliver the thoughts and feelings over time to a future self or someone special.
The bookshelves in the library tower high into the ceiling, making it impossible for users to reach books at the top. In addition, Japan's unique natural environment, with its frequent earthquakes, makes it impossible to arrange books on high shelves. But to leave the tops of all the bookshelves in a library open would spoil the intellectual atmosphere of the library.
For these reasons, I intended to design Time Capsule to look like a book and maintain the atmosphere of the library.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width:258mm x Depth:85mm x Height:315mm

Production Technology: The color scheme and materials were simulated several times, as it was important that the time capsules looked beautiful when lined up in the library space. The boxes were manufactured by Morita Corporation, which can make a combination of machine-made and hand-made parts, because it would be too numerous and expensive to hand-machine them, and too few and expensive to machine them.
Design Challenge: This package has been on display for a long time. Therefore, I considered colors that would not easily fade and paper materials that would resist warping.
Research: In recent years, libraries have been in need of attractive designs. There are more than 1,000 Machi-libraries in Japan, and during the design process, user data was used to understand the needs of users. The time capsule serves not only as a visual design in space, but also as a communication design.
Inspiration: Time Capsule will be displayed like books in the library. Therefore, it was designed to express not only intelligence, but also a sense of fun. As a result, they create a kind of 'movement' in the space with their five-color range, while creating a calm and beautiful atmosphere, like a dictionary.
Project Duration: This project began in June 2022 and finished in June 2023 in Nishi-Tokyo City.
Operation Flow: The size and design of the boxes was determined by research into what items people keep carefully at home and what they would like to put in.
