ベネチアビエンナーレ2021受賞 The UAE Pavilion wins Golden Lion for best national pavilion at Venice Biennale 2021
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。

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.
