Shibuya culture PROJECT

"Tokyu Bunka Kaikan" Shibuya Station east exit of the landscape that dismantling proceeds of (around 2004)

West:Shibuya culture tea ceremony, I received for visiting 其Noyon, thank you. I, I will served as a progression, "Shibuya Keizai Shimbun," Editor-in-Chief, My name is west.

West:Recently, I was walking in Shibuya, and what I really care about is " Shibuya Hikarie " in front of the station. After the closing of the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan, I was in a vacant place and felt very sad, but after that, Gnokinyoki and Bill grew up, and now I am on the west side of Shibuya Station or on the east side, Even in Aoyama, you can see Shibuya Hikarie from anywhere. I think this timing of waiting for the opening of business is a time when the mind is swayed with imagination. This time is "Man Festival". Since the last time was a "girls' association," it should originally be a "men's association," but there is a subtle air that it may be called "boys" when seeing today's panelists anew (laughs) ). It was a "man festival" in a good way of upgrading it. I would like to talk about Shibuya Hikarie and the future of Shibuya from a male perspective.

West:Everyone to join panelists, thank you.

Join panelists (everyone):Please.

West:As we are alone, we do not go out of the guess zone very much, and as a "tell me! Person who understands", we had three officials of TOKYU CORPORATION come today. If we don't understand, I would like to hear Hikarie's whole story while listening in various ways.

Shibuya Station is rapidly spread to the Ebisu district, it has been expanding the cultural sphere.

West:I'm also more than ten years wandering around the Shibuya of the city, but first for the "Shibuya impression" of recent, I would like to ask you. Mr. Hibino Do you Irasshai captures recent Shibuya in what way.

Hibino:Is my office there during the gold king Shrine and off-track betting facilities in Shibuya Third Street, when you return to the office from the station, go through Shibuya Keisatsushomae via the Hikarie. Hikarie guess construction of speed was amazing. In feeling that quickly.

West:It's was great.

Hibino:Now that space is overwhelmingly dominated by a new building called Hikarie, and I have a feeling that I will forget the memories of the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan where the planetarium used to be and the scenery of the past. So the recent impression of Shibuya is " Shibuya Hikarie ".

West:I agree.

Hibino:When looking from the east, while spreads rapidly in Ebisu district of Shibuya Station Terminal, I feel as to expand the cultural sphere. Most of detonator Tteyuu "Hachiko'll not just," "Come on over here side" is impressive Hikarie, called.

I feel that has become better or worse elegant.

West:Day-to-day, but it is the place that felt realistic. What's Yamaguchi how.

Yamaguchi:In addition to that have changed the city is day-to-day, I think I feel that expansion (city). Impression that (before) and walking are, but was feeling around here is a little lonely going into the next town, now is imperceptibly're in town next. Shibuya of the city will feel like is expanding spread and Buwa'.

West:The bloated feeling, you Irasshai feel how much from the front?

Yamaguchi:What 10 years ago position. I think that has become increasingly strong.

West:What about in terms of people who are in Shibuya.

Yamaguchi:I feel that has become better or worse elegant. The old days or "Shibuya-kei" or "Ganguro", but I say even "Chima", is not it was something that something born from Shibuya. Since recently do not hear that sort of a, it is a little lonely.

Physical Tteyuu have a cool culture has become weak.

West:I think you Irasshai with offices in (Watanabe) Yu Mr. Shibuya.

Watanabe:Since the offices in Koen Dori side, the city center, completely changed with a focus on around Koen-dori is I will care. And or HMV becomes Forever21 is at the center, we can more and more shops of young people for. Its periphery Sakuragaoka, hundred hotels store (Do's Hyakken), is the impression that surrounds the zone that adults can go, such as Maruyama-cho neighborhood.

West:I see.

Watanabe:Shibuya but there was a story that has become refined and split, or would not it there are also some common saying place. I Toka or there is a sex guide field at the entrance to the hundred hotels shop. Now is the impression that still place that will become clean and place was Wasawasa are mixed. Since I'm the better that is good, Shibuya hope to still Do not interesting in that sense.

West:Recent power of youth, energy do you see in what way.

Watanabe:Energy itself, but I might have not changed that attempts to place a cultural thing, because after all there is a place that has been the cyber reduction.

West:Cyber ​​reduction?

Watanabe:Physical an appearance Tteyuu humans have everyone cool culture you are in Shibuya, I think you and is willing to have weakened.

West:That's right. In terms of youth, there were a lot of words that power was falling a little, but Shibuya Hikarie was born two months later and how is it going to change?

From the appearance, such as building blocks are stacked, obvious is that it is complex.

West:As a point of view of "man festival", it is the place where the hard side such as a building is also anxious. The designer was Shigeru Yoshino of Nikken Sekkei. It seems that Yoshino-san is also the work of the Japan Science and Future Museum and Tokyo Sky Tree. Hibino-san talked about the building earlier, but what is your impression of the Shibuya Hikarie building?

Hibino:Today, do you have come Yoshino?

West:No, I do not Irasshara today. But, be that a look at the user stream.

Hibino:Have seen, have not seen I think that without a relationship ... not bad.

West:(Lol)

Hibino:What the world of architects, do not you always hold the theme. For example, the direction of Mr. Kengo Kuma are holding a private office, Ando (Tadao) 's direction, Isozaki (new)' s direction of different respectively. Since Yoshino is come into the company, I think you are required to go surely doing a balance of whole neatly incorporates the needs of the client. But, Attari also still a place called to put out the personality as a designer. Office is to Hikarie, theater, creative space "8 / (pot)", and commercial facilities, but it contains a number of elements. That various things are complex is seen at a glance from the appearance, such as stacked is building blocks. "Since when!" About that really Don, Don, in the impression that DONTO stacked Do, I wonder if there is a facial expression of about three to four in appearance. In design to bad I do not think. I think it good.

Everyone:(Lol)

Hibino:Toka Sensoji Temple before dark circles's building, Toka landscape of Kyoto Station, but is what is building to become a landmark of the city that is always the first step must always attack, everyone is Hikarie and think so, nothing against will you.

West:It is not.

Hibino:In Shibuya of the city of the building, do you have I ever building that "this building is what it is!" Was said until now?

Watanabe:You do not hear so much.

Hibino:I to not Even "109".

Watanabe:I agree. Just say hard we kinda go. I because it is a matter of content.

From behind the Mechagodzilla ish if there is a sense of volume.

West:I'd like to try to be asked to Yamaguchi.

Yamaguchi:But I'm there is no twist, normally a huge.

Hibino:It there is a volume sense.

Yamaguchi:I feel that Gahan. I feel to see from the train station direction I was guessed from Perth, I was surprised the back side. Along the temple Miyamasuzaka, something like slope is gradually with, Mechagodzilla ish there is a sense of volume. I I was beaten in from behind.

Hibino:Ne from behind did not see properly yet.

Guggenheim Museum, such like, I wish I put out a Lego block

West:I because I did not come out only table until now. Mr. Yu is?

Watanabe:There is a feeling that linear parts, curvilinear parts and various parts are combined. I think that I should put out LEGO (Lego block) because it is an impression that I embedded in the block. It would be nice if there was a Lego of Shibuya Hikarie like the Guggenheim Museum or a series of Wright.

Hibino:Now we are building a connecting walkway connecting Shibuya Station with you. The GINZA LINE runs to the side, and I want to assemble something, push it in, and insert it .... Mr. Yoshino might have also made it with such a concept.

West:If there is an attempt like build that integrated with Lego, it's kinda fun.

Watanabe:That's right.

Took over the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan of DNA, in the feeling that "the the center theater."

West:Then that I have in the mood, hollow float that large theater. There is a huge theater in the middle of the building, it structures the office is riding on it, and a strange feeling.

About 2000 seats of the Musical Hall "Tokyu Theatre Orb"

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):But it is often the theater from the old days in Shibuya. Beginning from Shibuya Public Hall, there was a planetarium is also on top of the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan. There is a feeling that "the the center theater" as to take over the kind of DNA, we were able Tokyu Theatre Orb. Theater is accounted for up to 16 floors from the 11th floor, the stage is the 13th floor, located in the entrance is on the 11th floor. Stage of the frontage is about 20m, depth 16m. It is in the meantime Yes pass (use in such stage conversion) baton is 60 this, you can hang a ton of things with a single baton. Since the Orchard Hall in Baton is a about roughly 700 kilometers, one ton it's amazing. It is up and down at a speed of about 2m at the minute speed in the 120m, 1 seconds.

West:It is early.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):The overseas and some more early, but in the country is the fastest. The bridge is also movable (for lighting), it is free is characterized by divided to the set. Then to make a sound with a bulge, you wore to unevenness example Hanekae the sound is on the wall here and there. Although (acoustic in the surface) at first I thought I wonder if is better there is no reverberation, in the recent Architectural Institute have been said that those who had the reverberation is also a good sound to PA, so as to have a sound Did. For example, Nakano Sun Plaza is reverberation, but it is what almost 0 (zero), Then I also customers of the reaction becomes a situation you do not hear your own voice in reverse.

West:Here of reverberation, what seconds.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):I'm not aiming for yet final since the middle of the construction work, but you have made in the calculation of about 1.7 seconds from 1.6 seconds.

West:Is that pleasant length?

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):I think that it just right. When the reverberation is too many, because the thing that becomes as talking in the bathroom.

West:But it will return to the first question, do you structure How about that floating theater space? (While watching the monitor) This is It is a cross-sectional view.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):Such as in the old days of the Shinjuku Koma Theater and Theater apple, it was incorrectly transmitted also to other floor through a steel pole and put out a great sound. Structure of the Orb, for example, when (we're) put this Noh theater space on top of the steel frame, is a state, such as those on both sides of the (between) the rubber. The sound is so that it does not resonate in the floor of the upper and lower through the steel frame, we are completely "floating floor structure".

West:This whole box (venue) is riding on top of the rubber?

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):I agree.

West:That's very strange.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):After Another feature is a round ceiling. Because from the 11th floor of the entrance to the 16th floor of the lobby is in the atrium, you hear until the top 11 floors of the voice.

West:It is when viewed from the bottom, it is a place that looks rounded.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):It has become (its roundness was on top of the Tokyu Bunka Kaikan) tribute to the planetarium.

When I move Innovation Baton Dakeba the "baton Show" (laughs)

West:(Watanabe) Yu-san What about, this is.

Watanabe:It is interesting. Or referred to as a non-everyday I theater, it's theater of the air and the excitement is or was a pretty important at the time of admission. Is I have many places that are working hard at building the community center and the city recently, but there is a build is uniform impression absolutely. In that sense, and Do are trying to Serve (theater Orb) very personality. I was surprised that the number of seconds after the reverberation is so determined finely. In particular, because (Nakano) Sun Plaza is the 0 (zero), I was surprised equivalent.

West:It is amazing.

Watanabe:Like a have to notify (well Yamashita have a live in the Sun Plaza) Tatsuro's in, now feeling. Of course, Mr. Tatsuro guess I would like to know the kind of thing (laughs). Because it was a little new to, it was very interesting.

Hibino:I also amazing that the baton of per second 2m.

Watanabe:But it is amazing.

Hibino:It'll do 60 this. You can do it only in something show.

Watanabe:The fact that Tsureru one ton, those of about 60 tons is it because is that move at the same time.

Hibino:When you want to show something really budget Naku', After doing the "baton Show" to move Innovation Baton Dakeba, so is watching two or three days.

Everyone:(Lol)

West:After that until the floor of the theater, but I have heard that lifted a heavy object.

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):I agree. In the musical performances, it will come in about five sets class from the United States is a large container. It's such about roughly 11 t ten car minutes, but do not necessary to increase it up to the 13th floor with a stage. In its order Theatre Orb, frontage 8m, depth 3m, we have built a lift height 4m50 centimeter.

Hibino:It is, but it is the fact that the theater only.

Shibuya Hikarie "Teach me! People to understand" 3 people on the stage

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):Yes, it will arrive in about two minutes until the 13th floor of the stage. This before, but I was a little put, it was quiet without it at all sound. With the feeling of "Oh, for had arrived."

Hibino:Put each track?

Ijuin (! Tell me understand people):Should I Rarere put each track, but there is the location of the condition. Let me off on the first floor and transshipment to the elevator. But you have a loading platform as it is placed is the size of the 11-ton truck.

Hibino:This elevator is also, I'm likely to use something (laughs).

Watanabe:It will bite in there.

Hibino:Oh yeah, a little back yard specific place is in the mood. Because such a big thing, probably not running Innovation Guwahati.

Yamaguchi:Now the elevator is incredible. During this time, it's I was allowed ascended in a preview of the press in Tokyo Sky Tree.

Hibino:Oh, I ascended was for.

Yamaguchi:It is also I'm fast. Behind and comes with a tire, we're going to run the rail rather not you are hanging by a wire. But it was also amazing, here is also amazing.

West:It is truly a man festival.

Watanabe:For now, have become Pampanga in the props, I'd like to take a look at the elevator.
