在日本，尽管木结构建筑有着很悠久的历史，但是在现代，它却极少被用于大型建筑。在此背景下，以“复兴木材在城市建筑中的地位”为目的，我们着手探索木制结构在符合经济原理的商业办公建筑方面还能走多远。

首先，刨花板材以其丰富的实用性和低廉的造价，目前被住宅建筑市场所广泛采用。通过计算机数字控制（CNC）切割机进行现代高精度的加工，高品质的木质元件将节约1/3的标准成本。并且，通过反复的测试与模拟，我们已经证明，在火灾发生时，这些没有经过特殊防火处理的木材，可以保证居住者安全地疏散，成功满足了建筑标准法规的要求。为了将这些因素融入独特的设计当中，我们采用了最新的设计技术——建筑信息模型（BIM）。

木材是一种经典的建筑材料，不应该被掩盖。通过这项最新的技术以及精确的操作，可以有效控制成本。木材将成为一种现代元素应用于室内空间，其极具雕塑感和透气性的表皮非常适合日本的气候。在参观建筑的时候，可以感受到日本扁柏的香味，使人敏锐地意识到建筑在用各种不同的感官与人交流。以“复兴木材”为真正的宗旨，建筑采用的所有技术都是公开的资源，建筑师可以自由地使用这些技术去实现他们的创意。□（王小玲 译）

Notwithstanding a long tradition of wooden architecture in Japan, in modern times it is exceedingly rare for wood to be used in a large scale building. Within this context, with the intention of"reviving wood in urban architecture" we set about exploring just how far wooden construction could be used given the economic rationale required of a commercial office building.

Firstly, extensive utilization of square milled timber for the residential construction market was made due to its abundant availability and low cost.Making use of modern high-precision processing using CNC (Computer Numerical Control) cutting machines, high quality timber components were procured at a third less the standard cost. Repeated empirical testing and simulations we were carried out to prove that in the event of fire occupants will safely be able to evacuate, succeeding in satisfying the performance provisions of Building Standards Law without the use of specialized fire retarding treatment. To integrate these factors into a distinctive design we made full use of the latest design technology, BIM (Building Information Modeling).

Timber is a classical building material, and rather than being concealed, through this latest technology and logical rigor enabling reasonable cost, it is celebrated in a modern composition through interior spaces and a deeply sculpted,porous facade well suited to Japan's climate. Upon visiting the building, taking in the fragrant perfume of the hinoki cypress, one is keenly aware that this building speaks to all the five senses. True to is aim of "reviving wood", all of the technology utilized here is open-source and available for all architects to freely use to the limit of their imagination. □
