縦長窓をリズミカルに配置しています。● ダイビル本館（建替え）1925（大正14）年に竣工した大阪ビルヂングの意匠をできる限り継承するため、90年近い歴史を刻む旧ビルから煉瓦・石材などの材料を取り外し、入念な調査・試験のうえで再利用しました。中央玄関上部の半円アーチの上には、大国貞蔵（彫刻家、1890─1950）作の「鷲と少女の像」も保存再配置しています。● 大同生命大阪本社ビル（建替え）1925（大正14）年に竣工した大同生命肥後橋ビルは、当時米国で一世を風靡していた大型テラコッタによるネオ・ゴシック風高層ビルのスタイルで建てられていました。新しい大同生命大阪本社ビルでは、その旧ビルのイメージを継承し、同じ色つやと質感をもつテラコッタ・タイルを用い、さまざまな新技術で大胆に現代におけるネオ・ゴシック風高層ビルを再現しています。─活力のある美しいまちへ土佐堀川、堂島川そして中之島は、今では高層ビルが立ち並ぶエリアとなりました。その中で、私たちは多くの高層ビルの設計監理に携わってきましたが、それぞれに独特の表情を与え、水と緑の映える都市景観づくりを続けています。そして高層ビルの表情とともに、街に生きる人々にとって大切なことは、その街が「街歩き」したくなる街かどうかということでしょう。人々が街を歩きたくなるよう想いを込めて設計したプロジェクトを紹介します。─● みおつくしプロムナード大阪市中央公会堂から中之島図書館そして大阪市庁舎の南側の土佐堀川沿いには、完成後30年を経て大きく育ったケヤキ並木が続いています。土佐堀川の対岸には、大阪城から中之島を周遊できる水上バス・アクアライナーの発着場が設けられ、今では街の名所の一つになっています。● 中之島フェスティバルタワーの景観23ページ写真8は歩行者専用の錦橋対岸から眺めた風景です。旧フェスティバルホールを象徴した壁面レリーフ「牧神、音楽を楽しむの図」も、陰影ある大きな煉瓦壁の上に、豊かな色彩と耐候性を持つ現代の陶板技術で復元されました。この景色には絵心を誘うものがあるようで、素人画家がよくスケッチに来ています。林 和久│日建設計 顧問（HP連載「日建設計115年の生命誌」著者）Kazuhisa Hayashi｜Advisor, Nikken Sekkeicharm. Nikken Sekkei has been involved in projects to preserve the taste of the famous architecture of the Nakanoshima area. Some of the projects are:─● Bank of Japan Osaka Branch (Preservation/Reconstruction)The design preserves the Neo-Renaissance-style exterior of the old building constructed in 1903. Structurally what was done was to remove and reconstruct the entire inside of the building while preserving its outer shell. Then the copper shingle roof and dome and top-story rooms for important visitors were renovated and restored. The volumes of the main (new) wing were carefully articulated, as if embracing the old building and the courtyard between them, so as to harmonize with the townscape. ● Osaka City Hall (Reconstruction)With its deeply articulated look and granite cladding, the new building inherits the dignified look of the old Neo-Renaissance-style building completed in 1921. Its exterior features a rhythmical pattern of tall, stylized windows formed by copper-zinc alloy verticals. ● Daibiru-Honkan (Reconstruction)In order to imbue the new building as much as possible with the design sense of the old Osaka Building completed in 1925, this project involved removing the bricks, stones, and other materials of the former edifice that had stood for 90 years and after careful research and testing, reusing them in the new structure. The stone relief by Teizo Okuni, “Eagle and Girl,” was preserved and re-installed at the top of the semicircular arch over the central entrance to the building.● Daido Life Insurance Osaka Headquarters (Reconstruction)The original Daido Life Insurance Higobashi building completed in 1925 was built in Neo-Gothic high-rise-building style featuring large-sized terracotta tiles that were then fashionable in the United States. The new Daido Life Insurance Osaka Headquaters building at Higobashi preserves the image of the old building; while using terra cotta tiles of the same color, gloss, and texture, it boldly introduces all sorts of new technologies, realizing a Neo-Gothic-style high-rise building for the current age.─Toward Lively and Beautiful TownscapesToday Osaka’s Tosabori and Dojima river waterfronts as well as the Nakanoshima island between them are a forest of high-rise buildings. Nikken Sekkei has been involved with design and supervision in many of these buildings, and we have worked to give each one of them a distinctive character that contributes to a cityscape enlivened by water and greenery. For the people who live and work in this part of the city, what is important is not only that the high-rise buildings are attractive and interesting, but that the area is amenable to people passing through it on foot. Here we introduce projects that we designed in the hopes that they would induce people to walk in this part of the city.─● Miotsukushi PromenadeThe bank of the Tosabori riverside on the south side of the area extending from the Osaka City Central Public Hall to the 212015 Autumn 24
