Qualified Proposal : Tsunami Evacuation Building (TEB) by AIGI Architect + Associates

2016 | Tokyo Design Week Japan

JADE x AIGI 「人類は自然には敵わない。自然災害は生活の一部となっている。」という課題に対し、避難場所を魅力的で快適な空間として提案。

“Humanity can’t fight nature. Natural disaster also part of life”. The key issue to maximalize the potential TEB not only as an evacuation building but turn into attractive and complex liveable spaces. The conventional TEB just offers the robust structural building as an evacuation shelter when disaster comes, but in daily life it is appear as a visual pollution. Unfamiliar TEB appeareances also hard to find especially for foreigner who visit Japan. In this event we propose to design TEB in different way, yet as liveable space. When it is not used as an evacuation site, the building works as a public area, meeting point, observatory building supported with internet access and public toilet. The shelter coverage about 620 peoples on the 400 sqm land area.
