本計画は、棚田という食の原風景の中に精米施設と滞在拠点を重ね合わせることで、一膳の米に至るまでの過程を身体的に捉え直す建築である。棚田の地下には精米工程を内包した施設を配置し、籾が白米へと変化していくプロセスを、地形に沿って下から上へと連続的に体験できる構成とした。来訪者は機械による大量精米の動線と並行して、一膳分の籾を携え、かつて用いられてきた手作業の精米を行いながら上昇する。その過程で、機械化によって不可視化されてきた食に要する労力や時間、身体への負荷を自身の感覚として知る。地上には食事や滞在の場を設け、棚田の風景の中でその体験を咀嚼し、内省へとつなげる。生産・加工・消費が分断された現代に対し、本建築はそれらを一続きの空間として再編し、一膳の背後に潜む労と時間を思惟する契機を生み出すことを目指す。
This project, by combining a rice milling facility and a base for lodging within the pristine foodscape of the rice terraces, is an architectural project that physically reinterprets the process leading up to a single bowl of rice. The facility encapsulating the rice milling process is located below the rice terraces, allowing visitors to experience the process of unhulled rice being transformed into white rice in a continuous sequence, from bottom to top, following the terrain. Visitors ascend carrying a bowl's worth of unhulled rice, paralleling the flow of people milling large quantities of rice by machine, while polishing the rice by hand in the traditional manner. In the process, they become personally aware of the labor, time, and physical strain required for food, which have become invisible due to mechanization. Above ground, there are spaces for dining and lodging, allowing visitors to digest this experience amid the landscape of the rice terraces and connect it to introspection. In today's world, where production, processing, and consumption are separated, this architecture reorganizes these processes into a continuous space, aiming to create an opportunity to contemplate the labor and time that lies behind each bowl of rice.
