Concept

Tsukuba-kan Mito Field Training Center The main training center is a "facility that provides training for local governments, agricultural corporations, welfare facilities, etc." in order to promote the development of "technical supporters for agricultural and welfare cooperation" and other specialists who support the implementation of agricultural and welfare cooperation.
It is the first training facility in Japan constructed of wood.
The roof is made of metal shingles in the color of " oxidized silver" tiles, a color that is familiar to the local community.
The exterior walls are painted with a texture similar to traditional Japanese plaster walls so that the building can serve as both a place for passing on agricultural technology and a place for passing on culture.The interior space is visually recognizable as a wooden structure, with wooden framing shown as much as possible, and plaster walls, a traditional Japanese technique, are used to create a space with a natural touch and a sense of calmness.
