＜木の葉を隠すなら森の中＞
英国のGilbert Keith Chestertonの小説《The Innocence of Father Brown 》の中の名言として知られるこの言葉の意味は、「物を隠すには、同種の物の群がりの中に紛れ込ませる方法が最適である。」
焼肉レストランを設計するにあたり、様々な事情により下排煙ができない場合、天井から垂れ下がる排煙管はデザインを悩ませる要因そのもの。
本計画では、“排煙管というネガティブな要素”を“ポジティブなデザインモチーフ”として利用することで、＜排煙管をモチーフとした管状のものが垂れ下がる森のような空間＞を考案。
“Where does a wise man hide a leaf? In the forest.”
This phrase, widely known from Gilbert Keith Chesterton’s The Innocence of Father Brown, suggests that the most effective way to conceal something is to blend it into a multitude of similar elements.
In designing a yakiniku restaurant, when downward exhaust systems are not feasible due to various constraints, exposed exhaust ducts descending from the ceiling often become a challenging design issue.
In this project, the “negative element” of the exhaust duct is reinterpreted as a “positive design motif.” By multiplying and integrating tubular forms inspired by the ducts, the space is conceived as a forest-like environment in which duct-like elements descend rhythmically from above.
