[Information] Techniques and Proposals for "Attractive Civil Engineering" in Harmony with the Landscape

Designing the boundary between architecture and civil engineering. An explanation of the Hinoyama Observatory (Hinoyama Ring) case.

In architectural and landscape design, the treatment of elevation differences on the site and the selection of retaining walls are essential elements from a design perspective. On the other hand, these elements also require the selection of optimal construction methods that ensure safety and functionality from a civil engineering standpoint while considering aesthetic qualities. "The inorganic concrete wall detracts from the landscape." "I don't want to give up on design even under strict construction conditions." This document introduces actual case studies and a lineup of retaining wall proposals that take landscape considerations into account, in response to the challenges faced by architects. Hirose Reinforced Soil Co., Ltd. leverages its long-standing achievements in the civil engineering field to propose optimal solutions that combine "aesthetics," "constructability," and "economics" as a partner in "designing civil engineering within architecture."
