Kitsuki City jokamachi (castle town) future
proposals
Kitsuki City, Oita Prefecture |
|
|
The
site of Virtual Architecture Competition -Build Live Japan 2015-. Here,
designers and local municipality scramble to turn the Kitsuki castle
town into a 3D VR replica via point clouds to allow quick comparison
and easy snapping of proposed 3D building models into the virtual
world. All proposals are openly available to citizens to review, to
evaluate that the finished project could truly blend in and stay
consistent to the ancient architectures of the castle town. The attempt
was well received and demonstrates how VR can indeed help in urban
planning. |
|
|
|
|
This project data can actually
be divided into 12
sub-proposals, with 12 different camera positions assigned to each of
them. Executing the script allows viewers to view the entire project
area and perform before & after analysis to contrast the changes
that have been done. |

VR for Rebuilding Ruins
Tho.La.Consulting |
|
|
The Korokan Ruins discovered in 1988
which is located in the center of Fukuoka, Japan and the research is
still being conducted.
Whether this important historic sites should be rebuild or not was
discussed between voters and this VR data was created as a basic data
for explanation to relevant people.
Also it was helpful enough as
the education material which allows people to know the situation of the
time and have been used on the museum and government's HP as an
advertisement for citizens too. |
|
|
|
|
The animated script
"presentation" takes viewers to the
Korokan site, with explanations of its history, function, and the
proposed image upon restoration. In the history portion of the script,
the interiors adapt to different design styles of Japanese historic
eras. Candle night-lightings of the restored site is also an exciting
sight. |

Using VR to Communicate to the Locals Over
Debris Avalanche Countermeasure
Mitsui Consultants, Kansai Branch |
|
|
Debris
avalanche and mountain slides are becoming more common in Japan
recently, and there has been high hopes of using soil check dams to
counter these. However, due to its rarity, a wide adoption cannot be
achieved without effective communication with the local residents. This
VR data visualizes the risk maps of debris avalanche under different
conditions and severity, while demonstrating the effectiveness of check
dams in a comprehensible way. |
|
|
|
|
By playing back the script
"Present", followed by "Incident",
viewers will be introduced with the current environment situation and
witness the steep angles at the proposal site, as well as experience
how severe the hazards will be in case of a debris-flow. In the script
"Improvement 3", different types of land check dams have been
constructed at the same site for landscape evaluation. The script "With
Explanation" offers further explanations. |

Repair simulation in Higashi Takase river 2015
Fushimi Technical High School in Kyoto |
|
|
We have explored an improvement in
the surrounding environment of Higashi Takase river as a region's issue.
This year, we investigated about the river flow rate from river
cross-section and about available heavy machines from the width of
surrounding roads.
The environment where the enough river
cross-section is secured and people around the area get together is
proposed in this data. |
|
|
|
|
Takasegawa is a beautiful river
canal in Kyoto, but the
downstream section, Higashi (east) Takasegawa, is nowhere as
eye-pleasing nor safe as its upstream cousin. Upon executing the
animation script "East-Takasegawa Proposal 2015", an improvement
proposal, with hazard mitigation and ease of construction taken into
account, will be introduced to the viewers. Detailed engineering
considerations such as fluid flow and road width for heavy machineries
have all been considered to ensure a realistic evaluation of project
feasibility. Some interesting parts of this proposal include a
riverside promenade, which requires a double-layered structure, and the
use of decks and scaffolds to ensure ease of construction. |
