Concrete-pod
nagoya, aichi pref : minimum pavilion : 200
名古屋市で行われた「コンクリートアートミュージアム」に出展するために制作された、厚さ15ミリの超薄型コンクリートによる小さなドーム。
日本の左官技術を応用し、白セメントに軽量骨材とワラの繊維を入れ、鏝(こて)で型枠に塗りつけることで製作された。直径、高さは1700ミリ、「家具」以上「建築」未満の、茶室のようなスケール感を持つ空間。琉球畳を敷いた内部は、ランダムに空けられた穴によって外部とつながりながらもドームによって適度に囲われているため、「室内」の安心感と「室外」の開放感を同時に体験することができる。

“Concrete-pod” is the micro-space pavillion made of extremely thin concrete shell with a number of holes. Inside the dome, because of its minimal scale and openness, it makes us sensitive and relaxed as when we are in a traditional tea-ceremony room, CHA-SHITSU.
The thin façade of “Concrete-pod” is made from fiber reinforced concrete, which consists of white cement, light-weight aggregate and glass fiber and straw pieces. By the traditional skill of SAKAN the plasterer, the concrete is plastered on the dome-shaped mould with a trowel. When dried and hardened, the mould of plastic foam is to be dismantled and removed.
The diameter and the height of “Concrete-pod” is 1700mm each, thickness of the shell is 15mm only. It is intriguing to realize that this structure is an expansion of a hen’s eggshell, the minor axis of which is about 40mm and 400 micron in thickness. Contrary to the fragile eggshell, “Concrete-pod” is strong enough for a man to climb up on the top of it.
