日本岩國市 久杉橋

A bridge in Osogoe, Shuto Town, Iwakuni City destroyed by the Western Japan Flood in July 2018, was rebuilt as a wooden bridge that will become a new symbol for the community. On both sides of the bridge are the factory and store of “Dassai”, a Japanese sake produced by Asahi-Shuzo brewery known for its unique sake production, which covered the wooden part of the construction cost by donation.

 

建築師隈研吾將 2018 年於日本西部的大雨中毀壞的岩國市首都町的橋樑重建為將成為該地區新標誌的木橋。在橋的兩側,有以獨特的清酒釀造而聞名的清酒廠 Dassai 的工廠和商店。

Considering the risk of recurring disasters, a RC frame was combined with 105-square cypress balustrades. The arrangement of the cypresses created a gentle curve that echoed the surrounding mountain range, and the use of 105-square members, the most used member-size in Japanese wooden construction, created a bridge with a nostalgic human scale. By combining Japan's proud carpentry skills with the modern technology of computational design, a human and soft expression that has never been seen before in conventional civil engineering structures was created.

 

考慮到再次發生災難的風險,團隊將鋼筋混凝土框架與 105 平方柏木欄杆相結合,柏樹的排列形成了與周圍群山相呼應的柔和曲線。使用日本木結構中最常用的 105 個方形構件,誕生了一座具有懷舊人類尺度的橋樑。通過將日本引以為豪的木工技術與現代計算設計技術相結合,該案創造了傳統土木工程結構中沒有的人性化和柔軟的表達方式。
