SPOTLIGHTClassical Inspiration for Beautiful TownscapesTakashi Okamoto | Design Fellow, Nikken Sekkei古典に学び美しいまち並みをつくる岡本 隆｜日建設計 デザインフェロー電子通信分野で世界に躍進してきた中国の華為技術（以下、華為）が、東莞市の美しい湖沿いに設ける、敷地面積126ha、延べ面積120万m2、就業人員28,000人という大規模な研究開発基地の計画です。広大な基地において、一人ひとりがその巨大さに埋没することなく研究活動ができるように、多様性をもった空間と変化のあるまち並みづくりを目指しました。12の個性的な建築群が、起伏ある緑と水の中にちりばめられて広大な研究開発コミュニティを創出します。歴史的まち並みのもつ魅力計画にあたっては、「美しいまち並み」づくりが課題でした。デザインの発想の根源は謙虚に古典に学ぼうという点にあります。近代の都市は混沌と喧噪の中にありますが、歴史に視野を広げて世界を見渡せば、現代の生活様式をうまく内包しつつ、世界中から人々を惹き付ける個性的で魅力的な歴史的まち並みがいくつもあります。芭蕉の「古人の跡を求めず 古人の求めたるところを求めよ」の心で、素直に先人たちの知恵を振り返り、それらまち並みのもっている魅力をできるだけ誠実に汲み取り、魅力を創り出しているものを見定めながら、現代の生活様式の中への再創造を試みました。　まず、まち並みがより良く保全されているヨーロッパの歴史的な12の都市を選びました。各都市担当チームは、まち並みの実態に深く入り込むために現地に滞在し、現地の歴史的建築物の専門家のアドバイスを受けながら、ファサードや広場の計測をし、材料を調べ、まち並みの魅力の再China’s Huawei Technologies, growing by leaps and bounds in the global networking and telecommunications industry, is planning to build a large-scale R&D complex covering 150 hectares with an aggregate 1 million square meters of floor space for some 28,000 workers, to be built on the edge of the beautiful Songshan lake in the city of Dongguan. Our design for the project aimed to create townscapes rich in diverse types of space and varieties of layout that would make it possible for the individual people working there to pursue their endeavors without feeling overwhelmed by the huge enterprise they work for. The 12 town-like clusters of buildings are all distinctive, together creating a vast research community scattered over an undulating topography of lakeside greenery and water.Designing for Timeless AppealAs we faced the task in this plan of creating attractive townscapes, we returned to the fundamental idea in design that we have much to humbly learn from classical styles. Modern cities are places of chaos and clamor, but the historical perspective of the whole world offers many distinctive and alluring townscapes that continue to attract people around the world while also accommodating the lifestyles of our own time. In the spirit of the seventeenth-century poet Matsuo Basho, who said “Seek not the paths of the ancients; seek that which the ancients sought,” we studied the appeal of the historical townscapes our predecessors created and tried to recreate the qualities of that appeal within the context of today.We first selected 12 historic cities in Europe where the old townscapes are best preserved. Design teams responsible for each Huawei R&D townscape spent time residing in the original city to thoroughly grasp its features, and while obtaining advice from specialists on the historical architecture of each city, surveyed its facades and piazzas, examined local materials, and held discussions about how the appeal of that particular townscape could be recreated. We heard specialists on the historical preservation of the Versailles Palace talk about the “manners” of historical architecture and in Granada we discussed with local conservation architects how the Alhambra Palace could be handled to make the most of its architecture in the contemporary age. Through these and other such experiences we were able to get a firm sense of the harmonies that make for a beautiful townscape, behind which lie the rich individuality of specific buildings, the careful and skillful use of materials and colors, and the “dialogue” among buildings that has been cultivated throughout history. 11：パリ2：ヴェローナ3：チェスキー・クルムロフ4：ハイデルベルク5：ボローニャ6：グラナダ7：フリブール 8：バーガンディ 9：ウィンダミア10：ルクセンブルク11：ブルージュ12：オックスフォード1号地1st site2号地2nd site3号地3rd site4号地4th site1234567891011121: Paris2: Verona3: eský Krumlov4: Heidelberg5: Bologna6: Granada7: Fribourg 8: Burgundy 9: Windermere10: Luxembourg11: Bruges12: OxfordN050100200500 (m)Feature | The Huawei Project and Ideas for the Future Cities of China102015 Summer 23
