(社)日本免震構造協会により創立15周年記念国際アイデアコンペ「免震・制振技術ならできる2050年のこんな建物,こんな街並み,こんな暮らし」が募集され,筆者らは「Urban Tree House」を提案した。Urban Tree Houseはスチール製の幹にコンテナを取り付けた免震構造物で,地上レベルを人・緑・水・風に解放し,人工樹上にカフェやオフィスなどの複合した街並みを形成する。油圧で構造物を浮上させる滑り免震支承をTree Houseの基礎部に設けることで,安全性の確保とフレキシビリティを両立する。本来,免震技術の目的は安全性の確保を主としているが,快適性,可動性,フレキシビリティ,サステナビリティなど多くの付加価値を生み,将来の豊かな街並み・建物の創造に応える技術としての可能性が示された。

The Japan Society of Seismic Isolation held its 15th Anniversary International Idea Competition with the theme, “The buildings, cities, and lifestyle of 2050 made possible through seismic isolation or response control”. We have proposed the “Urban Tree House”, which is a tree-like building composed of steel trunks as a support structure and boxes as functional infills. The tree house adopts a semi-active isolation system with special sliding bearings, which can nearly float the structure by oil pressure during earthquakes. The seismic force can be reduced to 1/20 of an ordinary seismic isolation system. The boxes are recycled containers and can be replaced when the functional modification is needed. By attaching the boxes to the trunks at elevated position, the street level is open for people, trees, water, and wind, so the city block composed of the tree houses offers an urban oasis for the residents in the area. While safety is the primary purpose of a seismic isolation system, we have shown that it is also effective in the realization of the comfortable and ecological built environment.
