nanometer architecture
Nonaka’s n and Mitani’s m, connecting the acronyms of each other to nm. It is derived from the fact that it became a symbol of nanometers.
Let’s summarize a little about nanometers.
One of the International System of Units (SI) prefixes, which is 10-9 times the underlying unit (centimeter). Introduced in 1960, it is said to be derived from νάνος (nanos), which means “dwarf” in Greek.
I think micrometer (μm) is a relatively common unit.
The thickness of the paper, the hair (100 μm), and the capillaries (10 μm) make the world one millionth smaller than that.
The virus (10 nm) and DNA diameter (2 nm) are nanometer-sized.
In the nano world, a world that is very different from the micro world will spread.
It is so small that it has a large specific surface area (volume / surface area), which makes it highly reactive, and even the same substance can change its properties by making it as small as nano. Normally, there is space for electrons to move around, but in the nano size, there are restrictions on the movement of electrons. In other words, it seems that it is possible to operate one electron.
Focusing on nanomaterials enables top-down construction of materials from materials to bottom-up construction of atoms and molecules. You will be able to self-organize like a living thing without the waste that has been carved out. The approach is completely the opposite of the conventional production method.
When I was investigating such things, I began to wonder if nanometers are close to our philosophy.
We believe that building an architecture is like a supplement for the ultimate goal, providing a place, proposing an event, and then inducing it to create an atmosphere.
In Japanese, “建築” means architecture., [建Ken] means to give an opinion, and [築Chiku] means to firmly create a system status property. In addition to building and building, think about what you can do based on the knowledge of architecture and the knowledge of all fields that we have accumulated (building), create a place that matches without sticking to building, and experience and experience it. It can be said that (building) is also architecture. I think that actions like a blurry design that is out of focus on the building also create an atmosphere.
From the top-down thinking of building architecture, we take the bottom-up stance of accumulating things that are not the seeds of small architecture. With something other than architecture in the background, we are like nanoparticles with a large surface area. We will break down the conventional stereotypes to nano size, change the nature of the architect’s function as if creating new DNA, think about the big whole beyond the city planning that can not be overlooked, and make various people happy. To do. That is what we aim for in nanometer architecture.
