We plan to convert the athletics field in the park to a sports community facility based mainly on ball games. The concept was “place for communication between people through sports” and it was planned with an emphasis on park connections. A building placed so as to be sandwiched between two ground planes has a construction in which LVL beams are applied to a steel frame such as a pergola, and the boundary wall bears the structure by bearing horizontal force in the direction of the short side. We aimed for a system that can not be carried by us and that can be easily modified in the future. The long, thin roof facing the ground is a corridor, and it is an architecture like a toya that attracts people from the park, creating a large amount of shadow space that is essential to the ground.
