Yawatahama Port Community Exchange Center Toilet Building Design Competition
From landfill to floating site
By pinching the ground surface and lifting it, a continuous slope is created. Like the terraced fields of Yawatahama, the slope of the mountain is used to create a slope where people can move freely, a roof, and a toilet space at the same time.
The roof is a steel structure made of steel plates and lattice-shaped ribbed plates, and to resist the tipping moment caused by the roof being extended, a rainwater pit was installed in the center as a counterweight, and the weight of the structure was planned to balance the entire building.
