该项目由两座建筑组成，一座射箭厅，一座拳击俱乐部，相距几百米，位于东京西部的Kogakuin大学(Kogakuin University)。日本射箭的正式仪式和拳击的侵略性可能是天壤之别。然而，令人惊讶的是，这两个设施有许多共同之处。

The project consists of two buildings, an archery hall and a boxing club, standing a few hundred meters apart on the grounds of Kogakuin University in west Tokyo. The formal rituals of Kyudo (Japanese archery) and the aggressive nature of boxing may appear worlds apart. However, the two built facilities surprisingly share a number of commonalities.

该大学的简介是用本地木材建造的低成本建筑，为学生提供方便和鼓舞人心的空间。巧合的是，这两所设施都要求有720万×108m的无柱空间，其大小与日本传统寺庙中的圣殿相当。为了实现这一跨越，没有立柱，采用低成本的木材施工方法，有必要提出一种创新的木材解决方案。我们首先调查了一些适合每项运动的结构形式。

The University’s brief was for low-cost structures made of locally sourced timber to provide accessible and inspiring spaces for the students. Coincidently, both facilities called for a column-free space of 7.2m by 10.8m, a size comparable to the sacred hall in a traditional Japanese temple. In order to achieve this span, without columns and using low-cost methods of timber construction, it was necessary to come up with an innovative timber solution. We began the project by investigating a number of structural forms that would be appropriate for each sport.

基础的原理

underlying principles

通过与木材专家、研究人员、制造商和供应商的合作探索，我们得出了通常与结构或建筑用途无关的木材建造系统。小木块，通常是为家具制作，被选择为射箭厅，木材成员被认为是由于昆虫破坏，为拳击俱乐部。

Through collaborative exploration with timber experts, researchers, manufacturers and suppliers, we derived timber construction systems that are not commonly associated with structural or architectural usage. Small timber sections, normally reserved for furniture making, were chosen for the archery hall, and timber members that were deemed defected because of insect damage, for the boxing club.

我们挽救了日本传统木材成分的纯洁性，这是由水平和垂直组成的，自从日本现代主义出现以来，这一点就被忽视了。精巧的格架由射箭厅的细长系梁和柱子组成，拳击俱乐部采用了更大胆的阶梯框架。木材是一种历史材料，现在已被重新分析并转化为一种新的建筑材料。

We have salvaged the purity of traditional Japanese timber composition, simply made up of horizontals and verticals, which has been somewhat disregarded ever since the advent of modernism in Japan. Delicate lattice frame composed of slender ties beams and posts for the archery hall, and a bolder, stepped frame, was employed for the boxing club. Timber, a historical material, has now been reanalysed and transformed into a new building material.

对比/补语

contrast /complement

这两种结构采用了一种简单、低技术的螺栓和螺母装配方法.然而，由于空间的规模和建筑的简单性，执行不得不一丝不苟，才能产生出与众不同的空间。

The two structures have been constructed employing a simple, low-tech method of bolt-and-nut assembly. However, due to the scale of the space and simplicity of construction, the execution had to be meticulous, in order to produce spaces that are out of the ordinary.

对于每座建筑，主要的主题是72m×10.8m的空间和木材结构，仅仅是它的背景。木材结构的强大存在强调了下面空隙的赤裸裸的透明度。只有把这两种对比与互补的特质并列起来，才能达到整体的目的，从同一个起点出发，通过两种不同的结构和空间解决方案，形成了一个共同的建筑主题。

For each building, the main subject is the 7.2m x 10.8m space and the timber structure, merely its backdrop. The powerful presence of the timber structure emphasises the stark transparency of the void below. The whole is only achieved by the juxtaposition of these two contrasting and complementing qualities. Departing from the same starting point, the two buildings have arrived at a shared architectural theme via two different structural and spatial solutions.
