Kyoto University Hospital/Clinical Research Center for Medical Equipment Development
Project Featured on Jun 07, 2016
STATUS
Built
YEAR
2012
Second and third floor spaces of the Clinical Research Center
for Medical Equipment Development (CRCMeD) at Kyoto University Hospital. These
two floors, occupied by Canon Inc. and Kyoto University, will become the future
site for projects developed in collaboration between people lending their
expertise to research initiatives and a great number of supporters. The
thoughts of each of these people working in various fields will come together
in this space, bringing together a convergence of knowledge and skills that
will create new possibilities. The design expresses the invisible
"threads" that connect each of these different thoughts to one
another, just like how threads are spun together to create a strong, supple
fabric. Specifically, ito (Japanese for "thread") is used as a motif
that would bridge the second and third floors of this research center,
designing a space that came together in a single, massive flow. These threads
weave through the walls and ceilings of each room while creating a certain
rhythm that expands in various directions - horizontally on the second floor,
and vertically on the third floor. Just like how new possibilities emerge out
of encounters between people, a spectrum of different colors appear at the
junctions between threads, creating chromatic combinations that resemble
landscapes: field green, sky blue, light cherry pink, snow white, dusky orange,
and white horizons. The more you gaze at them, the more these landscapes unfold
and expand before your eyes, offering you a sense of reprieve. The result is a
tranquil and comfortable space that makes you forget the fact that you are in a
medical facility.
