甲生のバス停　瀬戸内国際芸術祭2013公募案

用途:バス停 所在:香川県豊島 計画:2012年7月（選外） 規模:土造＋木造　一部竹造 敷地:3,000㎡ 構造:坪井宏嗣構造設計事務所

瀬戸内海に浮かぶ島々を舞台として３年に１度開催される瀬戸内国際芸術祭の公募案。舞台の１つとなる豊島の甲生集落内に、芸術祭期間中に臨時巡回する島内バスのためのバス停を提案した。バス通りに面して広がる耕作放棄地を借り受け、手入れをした畑の上に畳の座敷を浮かべ、バス停としている。島を訪れる巡礼者をもてなす「お接待」の風習が続くこの地において、バス停というものが、単なるバス待ちの機能を超えて、芸術作品を巡る観光客と島に暮らすの人々の触れ合いの場となることを意図した。

A proposal for the Setouchi International Art Festival, held once every three years in the Seto Inland Sea islands We proposed a bus stop in the Kou area of Teshima Island, one of the islands on which this festival is held, to be used by the special island bus service that runs during the festival. We borrowed the extensive abandoned farmland facing the street on which the bus passes through and placed tatami mats over the groomed fields to serve as a bus stop. Rather than simply serving as a place in which to wait for the bus, the bus stop in this area which continues the custom of entertaining visitors to the island was intended to serve as a place in which locals and visitors to the island to view works of art could interact.
