日本 PALETTE 就业指导中心

在一个像办公室一样的空间里，大约有20个用户在工作，有的在办公桌前用箱子包装产品，有的在加工工业产品的零件。其中一半人在开放式办公桌前工作，另一半人则坐在有隔板的独立办公桌前，看不到其他人。因为他们对来访者感到紧张，所以被堆积起来的箱子和隔板隔开的各个小屋里传出了高声的尖叫。这是在设计就业支援设施项目PALETTE之前，我在相邻部分的现有设施中看到的情况。

In a homogeneous space like an office, about twenty users were engaged in work; some were packing products in boxes at their desks, and some were processing parts for industrial products. One-half of them were working at an open desk, and the other half sat at individual desks with partitions so that no other people came into sight. Because they felt nervous about the visitors, high screaming came from individual cabins separated by piled up boxes and partitions. It was something I saw in the existing facility on an adjacent section before the design of the employment support facility PALETTE.

项目是为残疾人提供连续就业B型支援服务的设施，智障人士在这里从事的是尊重每个员工个性和人格的制造工作，而不是重复性的琐碎工作。设有可制作饴糖的点心工厂、拥有完整窑炉的陶瓷工厂、拥有丝网印刷设备的印刷工厂、可进行绘画以外的各种表现形式的艺术工作室、以及展示作品的咖啡馆、画廊、商店等。从可管理性的角度来看，工厂和工作室的创作活动通常在空间较大的房间内进行。但是，根据残障人士的特点，有些人和我在现有设施中遇到的人一样，在同一个空间里会感到压力。因此，对于这个设施，我们被要求设计一个让每个使用者都能找到舒适的地方的空间，而不是像多米诺骨架那样的同质空间。

PALETTE is a facility for Continuous Employment Type B Support Services for the Disabled, where people with intellectual disabilities engage in manufacturing work that respects each employee’s personality and individuality not repetitive menial tasks. This facility is equipped with a confectionary factory where users can make amezaiku (Japanese candy art), a ceramics factory with a full-scale kiln, a printing factory with silk-screen equipment, and an  art studio that allows various expressions not limited to paintings, as well as a café, gallery, and shop to exhibit users’ works. Creative activities in the factories and studios usually take place in a room with a large space from the manageability perspective. However, depending on the characteristics of the disabilities, some are stressed when in the same space with others like those I met at the existing facility. Therefore, for this facility, we were expected to design a space where each individual user could find a comfortable place to fit in, not a homogeneous space like a Dom-ino Skeleton.

这座建筑有四层，用于不同的用途，包括一楼的咖啡馆和商店，二楼的糖果厂和休息室，三楼的陶瓷厂和造纸厂，四楼的印刷厂和工作室。每层楼的天花板分隔的形状，看起来就像几个拱形屋顶一字排开。将封闭的房间放置在由膨胀金属制成的锯齿形天花板下，形成了熟悉的比例小屋。每个小屋都使用了代表其用途的材料，场地周围建筑外墙使用的材料，让使用者不用看标志就能直观地了解自己所处的位置；窑址使用了无釉砖，琉璃房使用了琉璃瓦。希望使用者能根据这些独特材料和锯齿形天花板的小屋特点，找到自己舒适的地方。 

The building has four floors for different uses, including a café and shop on the first floor, confectionary factory and break room on the second floor, ceramics and paper-milling factories on the third floor, and a printing factory and studio on the fourth floor. The shape of the ceilings separating each floor looks like several gabled roofs lined up. Placing closed rooms under the jagged ceiling made of expanded metal creates familiar scale huts. Each hut uses materials that represent its use, and those for use in exterior walls of the building around the site are used so that users can intuitively understand where they are without reading signs; the kiln site uses unglazed bricks and the glazing room uses glazed tiles. It is expected that users will find their own comfortable place based on the characteristics of the huts with these unique materials and jagged ceiling. 

项目距离大阪的娱乐区Juso非常近。当置身于工厂和工作室中时，再加上周围的景观与深度和惯性材料，你会觉得自己仿佛置身于一个城市外部空间。外在的设计以各种有层次感的材料和尖锐的物体，显得很有自信。但这只是使其与周围的建筑相适应的结果，这种设计已经被朱索这座独特的城市所接受。

The facility is located very closed to Juso, the entertainment district in Osaka. When in the factories and studio, coupled with the surrounding landscape with a depth and inertial materials, you feel like you are in an urban outside space. The outer design is assertive with various layered materials and sharp objects. But this is only the result of making it fit into the buildings surrounding the facility, and the design has become accepted by the distinctive city of Juso.
