Yukemuri Interference Belt

Yukemuri Interference Belt reimagines the construction hoarding not as a barrier separating a site from the city, but as a temporary urban landscape shaped by public participation. The project is planned for a public sports facility in Gunma, Japan, where pine groves, mountain views, and hot-spring steam create a distinct local setting. Taking “yukemuri” as its motif, the hoarding uses blue gradations collected through field surveys of the town. During workshops, children, residents, visitors, and workers apply semi-transparent white stickers cut in droplet shapes. Each action overlaps with others, producing depth, density, and a changing image across the flat wall. As construction progresses, the hoarding records time and local hands, connecting the future facility with people who will use it. By transforming a familiar temporary wall into a shared place for making, viewing, and gathering, the proposal gives construction a public value and turns a boundary into a layered landscape.
