日本“和平之轴”纪念碑THE AXIS OF PEACE

为配合横须贺和平中央公园翻新，HAKUTEN设计了一座象征和平的纪念碑，旨在唤起人们心中几乎消亡的和平理念。该公园建造在战争期间使用的Yonegahama炮台的遗址上。

In conjunction with the renewal of Peace Central Park in Yokosuka, we designed a monument that symbolizes peace and that would remind everyone of the idea of peace, which has now almost disappeared.The history of the park is that it was built on the site of the Yonegahama gun emplacements that were used during the war.

天黑后，这座纪念碑就会变成“和平之光塔”，将和平之光照射到天空中，象征着和平的轴心。光线投射距离达到1000多米。即使在远处也能够看到，让人们在日常生活中也能产生对和平的思考。天黑后，纪念碑就化身“和平光塔”，将和平之光投射到天空，象征世界和平的轴线。光线长达一千多米，从远处就可以看见，使人们在日常生活中感受和平的思绪。

After dark, this monument becomes a "Light of Peace Turret" that shines the light of peace into the sky, representing the axis of universal peace.The light, which is over 1000 meters long, can be seen from a distance, allowing people to feel the thoughts of peace in their daily lives.

光柱在日常环境中十分引人注目，它会吸引人们的注意，从而带给他们积极的感受。光源连通发电机，即使在发生灾害时城镇停电，也能像灯塔一样，引导人们到作为避难场所的公园。横须贺的景观中增加了和平之轴，支撑着人们的生活。

The pillar of light that appears in the usual landscape raises the eyes of the viewers and makes them feel positive.Even if the town loses power in the event of a disaster, even if the town loses power, the lights are designed to be turned on by a generator, leading people like a lighthouse to the park that serves as a wide-area evacuation site. The axis of peace has been added to the landscape of Yokosuka, supporting people's lives as a new landscape.

纪念碑的天花板和中央柱子上装饰着许多圆孔。圆形自古就有“无限和永恒”的含义，为了实现永恒和平的愿望，HAKUTEN邀请市民们画下属于自己的圆，然后转化为数据收集起来。同时利用公园高地吹来的海风，创造出雕刻圆圈的图案。并用激光仔细地将这些手绘的圆圈一个个打成独一无二的圆孔。
The ceiling and the central column of the monument are decorated with many circles.Circles have long had the meaning of "infinity and eternity," and with the wish for lasting peace, we asked citizens to draw circles, which were then converted into data and collected.We used the sea breeze blowing from the high ground of the park to create the pattern of the carved circles.The hand-drawn circles were carefully punched one by one with a laser.

HAKUTEN还用3D 扫描仪捕获了印在前炮塔砖块上的樱花纹章，并将它们雕刻成纪念碑混凝土基座的纹章。这样，人民的希望和土地的记忆就都镌刻在这座纪念碑上。
The cherry blossom crest printed on the bricks of the former turret was captured by a 3D scanner and reproduced as a texture for the concrete foundation.The hope of the people and the memories of the land were engraved on the monument.

白天，纪念碑沐浴在阳光下，阳光穿过人们亲手绘制的圆孔，目之所及都是开阔的景观，为人们提供了一个能够感受宁静的场地。
During the day, the monument is bathed in sunlight, and the light leaking from the circles drawn by the people and the open landscape in front of it provide a place where people can feel peace.

到了晚上，纪念碑布满了代表人们和平愿望的小光点，与从山上遥遥可见的光柱相呼应，地上洒满了来自世界各地代表的“和平”的话语。

At night, it is filled with small circles of light filled with people's wishes for peace, which harmonize with the grains of light from the houses seen from the hill, and the words of peace from around the world appear.

▽来自世界各地的“和平”字样

“我们真诚地希望这座纪念碑能够成为和平的象征，受到大家的喜爱。”——设计团队如是说。

It is our sincere hope that this monument will be loved by people as a reminder of peace.
