延岡駅周辺整備プロジェクト / 乾久美子建築設計事務所

This is a station peripheral improvement plan in Nobeoka City, Miyazaki Prefecture, which has been worked on for about 10 years. The main facility is the Enclosse complex in front of the JR station building, but the free passage, east-west roundabouts, and bicycle parking lots are also being redesigned.
During the first three years of the project, we worked on the basic plan for the entire city center, while examining the direction in which the redevelopment of the area in front of the station would lead to the revitalization of the surrounding area. At the same time, we explored the functions required of the complex, which will become the core of the redevelopment of the station, by holding citizen workshops and surveying the usage of similar facilities across the country.
Through the research, I learned that an attractive facility has a citizen’s will to use the space freely, and I am proposing a frame that accepts the will of the user. While the span and height of the frame are kept close to the adjacent JR station building to create a heterogeneous fluctuation, the positions of the columns are fine-tuned to ensure a clear line of sight between them and the surrounding facilities. In addition, by keeping the height of the first floor down, the view of the second floor can be seen from the atrium.
The building was built right next to a station where people come and go, creating a chance encounter between many different things and creating a series of small places, while creating an area with a gradual sense of wholeness. (Kumiko Inui)
