東京大学 小渕祐介研究室、佐藤淳研究室がプロジェクトサポートとして参画した「ヴェネチア・ビエンナーレ国際建築展 アラブ首長国連邦(UAE)館: Wetland」が最優秀賞にあたる金獅子賞を授賞しました。
小渕研究室は佐藤研究室と協働し、プロジェクトの初期段階から現地における施工段階まで、デジタルファブリケーションシステムの開発を担当しました。
施工計画をはじめとし、デジタル計測／施工ツールデザインや、施工の観点からのマテリアルデザインを通じて、これまでの小渕研究室のテーマでもあった「リアルタイム／オンラインでの施工プロセスの最適化」を追求し、世界規模の感染症が蔓延する状況の中、国際的なリモート環境でデジタルファブリケーションシステムを実現しました。
Venice Biennale Architecture Exhibition is one of the most respected architecture exhibitions in the world. With a request from Kenichi Teramoto and Wael Al Awar, curators of the UAE (United Arab Emirates) National Pavilion, Jun Sato’s laboratory and Yusuke Obuchi’s laboratory collaborated to support the UAE’s commissioners and ambitions. The UAE produces a large amount of salt as a byproduct during the desalination process of seawater. The main concept of the pavilion was to utilize magnesium, which was extracted from the salt, and use it as a hardening agent for building parts made of cement.
Sato-Lab proposed a simple solution for the production of 2500 pieces of the cement parts within a tight time constraint; make shallow trenches in the ground as a formwork and pour cement to be cured. This production process resulted in the making of “coral-shaped” pieces. We also proposed a structural design by synchronizing with Obuchi sensei’s digital fabrication guiding system for sequential structural optimization to develop an assembly logic.
Obuchi-Lab has designed and developed a human centric digital fabrication system which supported assembly crew members on site by connecting them with real-time spatial and geometrical information of the 2500 pieces to be installed in a designated area. When pieces were installed in a shape of ring and formed a layer, collected spatial data of installed pieces was then analyzed for structural stability and overall geometrical accuracy. In the end of the fabrication process, we were able to create an architectural form as a result of integrating technology and nature, and craftsmanship and machine.
It is a great honor to be part of the work that received the Golden Lion, the highest award given , at this prestigious exhibition.

第17回 ヴェネチア・ビエンナーレ 国際建築展 審査委員長である妹島和世氏から、以下のようなメッセージを頂きました。
| 今回のベネチアビエナーレは、これまで以上に建築の枠を超えた新しい可能性を感じられる展示作品がたくさんありました。特に多くの最先端のテクノロジーを応用した作品には驚きました。また、ナショナル・インターナショナル、どちらのパビリオンにおいても、国境を超えてさまざまな国々から集まって構成され、そして企画された展示が多くみられ、UAEパビリオンも中東、日本、アメリカなど複数の国々からのメンバーで成り立っており、そこで東京大学の２つの研究室が技術協力を行なった事はとても嬉しく思いました。日本においてもこれ迄以上に研究活動が海外に広がり活躍されることを期待しています。小渕先生と佐藤先生、素晴らしい作品、金獅子賞おめでとうございます。

| At this Venice Biennale, there were many exhibited works that dealt issues beyond the convention of architecture more than ever and hinted new possibilities. I was particularly surprised to see many works that applied cutting-edge technologies. Also, in both National and International pavilions, there were many exhibitions organized by a team of participants joined from various countries across national borders. The UAE Pavilion’s team was also made up of collaborators from multiple countries such as the Middle East, Japan, and the United States. I was very pleased that the two laboratories of the University of Tokyo provided technical corporation for the work. I hope that research activities in Japan will expand more and reach out overseas and play an active role.
Congratulations to Dr. Obuchi and Dr. Sato for their wonderful work and the Golden Lion Award. Kazuyo Sejima, Architect Chair of the International Jury for the Biennale Architecture 2021 |
