建筑师提供的文字说明。塔科亚在爱知县的自然科学Chiryu市，是东海道的53个城镇中的39个。该地点沿着古老的东海道街，在那里霍金（正式指定的旅馆）曾经被定位。要说这是当地历史上的城镇中心是公平的。基于这种历史的重要性，一个基于Chiryu的全球机器人制造公司决定购买无主土地，并为区域贡献提供便利。

Text description provided by the architects. Terakoya for Natural Science Chiryu city in Aichi Prefecture was the 39th of the Fifty-three post-towns of Tokaido. The site is along the old Tokaido Street where Honjin (officially appointed inn) was once positioned. It is fair to say that it is the center of the town in terms of local history. Based on such historical importance, a Chiryu-based global robot manufacturing company decided to purchase this ownerless land and make a facility for regional contribution.

这个项目是一个复杂的课外活动(=Terakoya)，它通过英语科学实验教授自然科学，还有一家有厨房工作室的咖啡馆，当地人，尤其是母亲，可以在那里聚会和放松。客户有意向当地儿童展示通过自然科学技能在国际上取得成功的途径，就像他们的公司所取得的成就一样。为了实现这一目标，我们建立了两个支柱：一个是继承尊重遗址历史的历史背景，另一个是在科学实验和客户的机器人技术背景的基础上遵循自然科学。

The program is a complex of an afterschool(=Terakoya) that teaches natural science through scientific experiments in English, as well as a cafe with kitchen studio in which local people, especially mothers, are able to gather and relax. The client had an intention of displaying the way to internationally succeed through the skills of natural science to the local children, as their company has been achieving. To match the ambition, we built two pillars: one was to inherit historic context respecting the history of the site, while the other was to conform to the natural science on the ground of science experiment and robot technology background of the client.

与当地历史相联系，有许多现存的神殿和寺庙面对着老东海道，创造了附近平静的社区。他们所有的布局都遵循以下命令：面向街道的低窃听门，作为公共空间的分局，然后是后面的大窃听主楼。在此之后，一家咖啡厅和一间职工室的大门部分被放置在面向街道的位置上，然后是与分局相对应的大厅，延伸到邻近的公园(以及大树的景观)，以及后面的大空间容纳教室。

Connect with local history There are many remaining shrines and temples facing to the old Tokaido that create the calm neighborhood nearby. All of their layouts obey the following order: low-eaved gate facing the street, precinct which also works as a public space, and then large-eaved main building in the back. Following this, the gate part that houses a cafe and a staff room was positioned to face the street, then the hall that corresponds to a precinct, extending to the adjacent park (and the landscape of the big tree) and the large space housing classrooms in the back.

很常见的是，当参拜一座古老的神社时，当穿过低矮的大门进入分局后，视线会通过主庙的一个大弧形屋顶平滑地引上天空。这样的经验也是通过将屋顶的空间结构倒转到顶棚向上弯曲来重新引入的。此外，在老东海道的低矮屋檐之外，还可以看到主体积的较高的屋顶：这是当地寺庙的确切外观。

It is very common that when visiting an old shrine, the line of sight would be smoothly led to the sky through a big curved roof of the main temple after walking through the low gate into the precinct. Such experience is also reintroduced by reversing the spatial configuration of the roof to the ceiling warping upward. Moreover, the higher roof of the main volume can be seen beyond the one of low-rafter eave from the old Tokaido: it is the exact appearance of local temples.

另一方面，按照自然科学原理，这种建筑的存在是通过重力所定义的悬链线的形状来实现的-这是自然科学中最基本的元素。柔软的屋顶就像木头布，由两个平行的钢制torii门形框架支撑，覆盖了整个空间，轻轻地为孩子们创造了一座建筑。这种木材织物编织了一个短层压欧洲红松棒(长度：1500毫米，宽度：105毫米)和织成两个钢棒(φ22毫米)。由于接触网曲线的特性，结构内部只有张力，所以这种柔和而柔软的木屋顶框架能够覆盖一个大跨度(高达20m)的无柱头空间。

Following the principle of natural science On the other hand, the existence of this architecture is realized by the shape of the catenary curve defined by gravity - the most fundamental element in natural science. The tender roof like a timber cloth, which is supported by two parallel steel Torii-gate-shaped frames, covers the whole space creating an architecture for children gently. This timber fabric was weaved with a warp of short laminated European Red Pine sticks (Length: 1500mm, Width: 105mm) and woof of two steel rods(φ22mm) perforating them. Only tension occurs within the structure due to the property of the catenary curve, so this gentle and soft wooden roof frame enables to cover a large-span (up to 20m) pillarless space.

简单的原则，多样的现象，建成后的建筑在东海道旧址观望时获得了柔和的氛围，与附近的神殿和寺庙一起营造了和平的历史街景。同时，它似乎是一个纯粹的几何体积时，从邻近的公园，显示了自然科学的原则，可以很容易地为儿童学习。此外，当进入室内，有一个温柔和放松的空间给孩子们，就像在床单下面。这种多样的建筑现象不是由独立的元素组成的，而是由一个简单的原理发展而来的。我们认为，通过向区域多样性开放，同时保持作为支柱的完整原则，它将能够获得永恒和普遍的力量。(原田正一郎)

Simple principle, diverse phenomenon The completed building acquires gentle atmosphere when looking from the old Tokaido, building up a peaceful historical street view together with the shrines and temples nearby. Meanwhile, it appears to be a pure geometric volume when looking from the adjacent park, displaying the principle of natural science that could be easily learned by children. Furthermore, when entering the interior, there is a tender and relaxed space for the children just like under a sheet. This kind of diverse phenomenon of architecture is not a collection of independent elements but is developed by one simple principle. We believe it would be able to get a timeless and universal strength by opening toward the regional diversity while still holding an intact principle as a backbone. (Masahiro Harada)
