 The Pritzker Prize is said to be the "Nobel Prize in the architectural world." This award is given to architects by the Hyatt Foundation. The award is given to "having made a consistent and meaningful contribution to humankind and the environment through architecture" and to be an architect who is still alive today. By 2018, seven Japanese have won the award. Kenzo Tange Fumihiko Maki Tadao Ando Kazuyo Sejima Ryue Nishizawa Toyo Ito Shigeru Ban And in 2019, Arata Isozaki won the award. He is the eighth Japanese person. Arata Isozaki Architecture / Art Tower Mito Art Tower Do you know "Natto Tower" in Mito City, Ibaraki Prefecture? It rises in the sky with a unique style. "Natto Tower" is a nickname from locals.

プリツカー賞は「建築界のノーベル賞」と言われています。ハイアット財団から建築家に授与される賞です。 「建築を通じて人類や環境に一貫した意義深い貢献をしてきた」ことと現在もなお存命の建築家であることが、授与の対象になっています。 日本人は、2018年までに7人が受賞しています。 丹下健三 槇文彦 安藤忠雄 妹島和世 西沢立衛 伊東豊雄 坂茂 そして、2019年に受賞したのが、磯崎新です。日本人として8人目になります。 磯崎新の建築・水戸芸術館アートタワー 茨城県の水戸市にある「納豆タワー」は、ご存知ですか。 独特のスタイルで天空に、そびえています。 「納豆タワー」は地元の人たちなどからの愛称です。

The official name is Art Tower Mito Art Tower, a symbol tower planned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Mito municipal organization. The unique style is due to the combination of equilateral triangular titanium panels. It is projected symbolically in the news and weather forecast of NHK Mito Broadcasting. Mito City is the administrative center of Ibaraki Prefecture, and Kairakuen's Plum Festival is famous as a tourist destination. However, as you may not know, there are some world-class city parks. Is Japan the second largest city park in the world? The surrounding park adjacent to Senba Lake and its site area are the second largest in the world. By the way, the world's number one city park is Central Park in New York. Next to that, the city park, which boasts the second largest area, is an integral part of Kairakuen, Kairakuen Park, and Sakurayama Park, which are adjacent to Senba Lake in Mito City. 

正式名称は水戸芸術館アートタワーで、水戸市制100年を記念して企画されたシンボルタワーです。 独特のスタイルは、正三角形のチタンパネルの組み合わせの造形によるもの。 NHK水戸放送のニュースと天気予報で、シンボル的に映し出されています。 水戸市は茨城県の行政の中心地、さらに観光地としては偕楽園の梅まつりが有名です。 しかし、意外と知られていないのかもしれませんが、世界に誇る都市公園も存在しています。 世界第二位の都市公園は日本にある? 千波湖と隣接する周辺公園、その敷地面積は世界で第二位の広さです。 ちなみに世界第一位の都市公園は、ニューヨークのセントラルパーク。それに次ぐ、第二位の面積を誇る都市公園が、水戸市の千波湖と隣接する偕楽園・偕楽園公園・桜山公園の一体というわけです。

The view is very good.

The news that Arata Isozaki won the Pritzker Prize was featured on NHK Mito Broadcasting, and of course, Art Tower Mito is also introduced as one of the representative architectural works. The vast site area on the shores of Lake Senba, the combination of the city park and the "Natto Tower" is one of the views that the world wants to know. I also hear people say, "I always thought it was a mysterious sculpture and looked at it, but is that a tower?" It's a unique combination of equilateral triangles, and because it's such a tower, there are many people who are surprised that they can climb it. Beginning with the Plum Festival in February, cherry blossoms bloom beautifully from March to April, followed by azaleas, nemophila and beautiful flowers.

磯崎新がプリツカー賞を受賞したニュースは、NHK水戸放送でも取り上げられ、もちろん代表的な建築作品のひとつとして水戸芸術館も紹介されています。 千波湖湖畔の広大な敷地面積、その都市公園と「納豆タワー」の組み合わせは、世界にも知らしめたい眺めのひとつ。 「いつも不思議な彫刻だなと思って眺めていたけれど、あれってタワーなんだ?」 という声も聞きます。 独特な正三角形の組み合わせ、そんなタワーなので現地で「登れるんだ。ていうか大きいし高い」と驚かれる方も少なくありません。 2月の梅まつりに始まり、3月から4月は桜が美しく咲き、続いてツツジ、さらにネモフィラと美しい花々が続きます。

The azaleas have fiery colors, which is a wonderful view.

In recent years, nemophila has become very popular in Ibaraki Prefecture, and there are increasing opportunities for "Hitachi Seaside Park" to be featured on TV, but it is also in Mito City.

 

ツツジは燃えるような色彩が、それは見事な眺めです。
近年、茨城県ではネモフィラが大人気で、「ひたち海浜公園」がテレビで取り上げられる機会が増えていますが、水戸市にもあります。

It is smaller than the nemophila of Hitachi Seaside Park, but the nemophila is in full bloom even in the four seasons of Lake Senba, Mito City 🌸 You can put it in for free and shoot with the night view at night (* ・ ω ・) No #Mito City #Nemophila pic.twitter.com/NtIcqduxbI

With good transportation access from central Tokyo, it is a location where you can easily go out. Ibaraki Prefecture is also actively providing locations for filming dramas and movies. The scenery you are looking at casually may include the natural environment of Ibaraki Prefecture and magnificent buildings. By the way, a fireworks display is held every summer at Senba Lake. There are about 400 food stalls on the shore of the lake, but it is a beautiful sight with lights on the surface of the lake at night. The fireworks themselves are beautiful, and the scenery creates a synergistic effect, creating a large-scale space. On the day of the fireworks display, it is crowded from daytime, and even after watching the fireworks, many people enjoy walking around the lakeside promenade and continue to talk freely.
Today we are at the Senba Lake Fireworks Festival from 19:30 to 20:30.

Fresh and exciting air! Ibaraki Prefecture is a place where contemporary art and art, as well as architecture and the environment, are fresh discoveries. Enjoy the exciting air. The plum festival is crowded at Kairakuen in Mito City, and it will soon be replaced by the cherry blossom festival. If you want to enjoy cherry blossom viewing in a different place than usual, please consider Mito City as a candidate. The best time to see the cherry blossoms is in late March. Flowering is likely to be earlier this year.

東京都心からの交通アクセスも良く、気軽に出かけられる立地です。 茨城県は、ドラマや映画の撮影にも積極的にロケ地を提供していることも。なにげなく見ている景色、そこに茨城県の自然環境や壮麗な建物も含まれているかもしれませんよ。 ちなみに千波湖では、毎年夏に花火大会が開催されています。 湖畔には屋台が、およそ400軒ほど並ぶのですが、夜の湖面に灯かりが浮かびあがって美しい光景です。花火そのものも美しく、景色が相乗効果となってスケールの大きな空間になります。花火大会の当日は昼間から賑わい、花火鑑賞が終わってからも湖畔の遊歩道を中心に、多くの人たちが散歩を楽しみ、自由に語らい続けています。
新鮮で刺激的な空気を! 現代美術や芸術、さらには建築と環境が新鮮な発見となる茨城県。刺激的な空気を満喫してください。 水戸市の偕楽園では梅まつりが賑わっていて、まもなく桜まつりに代わります。 「いつもとは違う場所でお花見を楽しみたい」と考えているのなら、ぜひ水戸市も候補に入れてみてください。 桜の見頃は、3月下旬です。今年は開花が早くなりそうですよ。
