Kure City Ondo Civic Center : Architecture Information

Contemporary Japanese Civic Center - design by Kengo Kuma & Associates

Ondo Civic Center Kure City Contemporary Japanese Civic Center - design by Kengo Kuma & Associates Special characteristics of the site and materials used in the project The site looks down the calm Inland Sea of Japan and has a water conduit within. Its landscape consists of the ridgeline of the mountains and islands faced with the surface of the sea. For materials, the unit system of traditional tile-roofing (plain rectangular tile and hollow semicircular tile are used alternately) technique was applied to the louvers to stress plasticity. In the external wall the use of wood weight in the siding boards was partially omitted so that it could accent three-dimensional expression. photograph from the architect 081008 Kure City Ondo Civic Center - Building Information Designing Period: Jul 2004 - Feb 2006 Construction Period: Jun 2006 - Dec 2007 Location: 1-7 Minami Ondo, Ondo-cho, Kure City, Hiroshima Prefecture Principal use: Branch office of city hall, community center, multi-purpose hall Site area: 4424.39 sqm Total floor area: 4642.91 sqm Stories: 3 stories aboveground Design: Kengo Kuma & Associates Structural engineers: Oak Structural Engineering Mechanical engineers: Morimura & Associates Constructor: Konoike/Nikko JV (construction), Rokko Electricity (Electricity) Kinden (ventilation), Sannyo Kucho Kogyo (water supply and drainage) Structure: Steel Structure Kure City Ondo Civic Centre images / information from Kengo Kuma & Associates Kengo Kuma & Associates
