| DESIGN NAME: Stacked Crystal Form PRIMARY FUNCTION: Office and Factory INSPIRATION: Just as the thickness and angle of a crystal chip determine its specific frequency, the architecture layers volumes of varying thicknesses to shape the space. Inspired by the physical properties of crystal, the design extends the motif of stacked crystal chips throughout the building’s exterior and interior, visualizing the identity of Daishinku. The integration of architecture, interior, and lighting design creates a space where technology and design harmonize. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project integrates Daishinku’s head office and production functions into a smart factory. The exterior design is inspired by stacked crystal chips, with layered rectangular volumes of varying thicknesses representing Daishinku’s history of technological advancement and its future growth. The shifting shadows created by the random arrangement of these volumes recall how crystal subtly deforms under pressure and temperature changes, yet retains a stable frequency. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This project is a smart factory that integrates Daishinku’s advanced technology with innovative design. Each floor is organized around an atrium pierced through the center, with natural light from the skylight spreading across each layer. This not only enhances energy efficiency and openness but also stimulates encounters and communication among workers on different floors. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project was completed in 2024 and is currently in operation. The construction site is located in Kakogawa, Hyogo, adjacent to Daishinkuʼs existing Central Laboratory. Designed as a smart factory, it integrates advanced production systems and energy-efficient technologies to minimize environmental impact. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Architecture, Building and Structure Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The office building's lighting design is inspired by the angle of crystal chip cuts. The thickness of a chip determines its resonant frequency, while the angle affects its stability. Based on the 35.15-degrees AT-cut, 38-degrees CT-cut, and 52-degrees DT-cut, the line lighting incorporates these angles to create an innovative lighting environment that embodies the identity of Daishinku. The design integrates circadian rhythm-based color temperature variations to enhance intellectual productivity. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Site Area: 17,225.61 square meter Building Area: 3,563.18 square meter Total Floor Area: 10,243.16 square meter Number of Floors: 5 above ground Maximum Height: 27.73 m 1st Floor Height: 5.4 m 2nd Floor Height: 5.1 m 3rd Floor Height: 4.5 m 4th Floor Height: 4.5 m 5th Floor Height: 4.4 m Structure: Steel Frame TAGS: architecture, office, lighting design, smart factory, quartz device RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research Objective: Integrating smart factory concepts with architectural design. Result: The spatial design reflects the thickness and angle of quartz chips, visualizing the identity of Daishinku. Impact: This innovative approach enhances energy efficiency and intellectual productivity. CHALLENGE: Just as a quartz chip’s thickness and angle define its frequency characteristics, the architecture was designed by layering volumes of varying thicknesses. This innovative approach integrates technology and design, creating a space that embodies the brand of Daishinku.
