This is a facility to train guide dogs. The building also plays a role in widely diffusing welfare activity into society via the guide dogs, by opening their training activities to the local population. The site has outstanding surroundings at the foot of Mt. Fuji. In order to balance the two opposing aspects of a secure environment for training guide dogs and an environment open to the local population, the architecture was designed as if shaping a small village. Simple small buildings resembling chicken coops or cowsheds in a developed pasture are scattered within the site. By connecting these buildings with a slightly snaking corridor, glimpses of activities are always seen from anywhere in the buildings, and closing or opening a part of the space is naturally possible. This slight change in the way of arranging ubiquitous small buildings highlights the space, while integrating it into the local community. It seems like such spaces could exist anywhere, but have never existed: I think the space possesses these ambiguous aspects.
