東京ミッドタウンで毎年夏に開催される 「MIDTOWN LOVES SUMMER 2012」のイベントの１つである「風鈴彩祭」のための展示計画。２８都道府県 ３６産地から３０６種類約 ８００個もの風鈴が集まり、ガレリア１階から３階の各所に「日本の夏の涼」をテーマに展示する。
多種多様な風鈴を立体格子の中に、ひとつひとつを丁寧に切り取って吊るすことで、標本箱のように集中して見れるような展示とすることを考えた。１階では立体格子を屏風のような木組みとし、２階では立体格子を寄せ集め、大きな木組みの塊となる。また、木組みの中を通り抜けたり座ることもできる。３階では夏祭りの屋台をイメージさせるやぐらの梁に風鈴を吊り、それぞれの棟ごとに違った音色が聴こえる。各階で木組みの形態を変えることで異なる特徴を与え、訪れた人がガレリア内を回遊するきっかけとなるよう計画した。
木組みに吊るされた風鈴と触れ合い鳴らすことで、多彩な音色がガレリア内を涼しく包み込むインスタレーションを目指した。

This is a design for an exhibition “Furin-saisai”, one of the events of “MIDTOWN LOVES SUMMER 2012”, held every summer at Tokyo Midtown. Approximately 800 wind chimes from all over Japan, consisting of 306 different types of chimes from 36 production bases in 28 prefectures are exhibited throughout the first floor to the third floor to the theme of “the Coolness of a Japanese Summer.”
A wide variety of wind chimes are hung and divided one by one within a three dimensional lattice. We had imagined that people would enjoy seeing each chime individually focused, in the same way as if when they are seen inside a specimen box. On the first floor, we had made a three-dimensional lattice like a folding screen, while on the second floor, we had brought the lattice together to create a large timber mass through which people can walk and also sit on. On the third floor, we hung wind chimes on the beams of scaffold towers that remind us of those typically seen at Japanese summer festivals, so that people can enjoy different sounds at each tower. By changing the forms of the timber structures and providing different characteristics to each floor, we had planned the exhibition to be a trigger for people to walk through the Galleria.
We have focused this installation to allow the different cooling sounds of the wind chimes fill the Galleria as they are touched.
