为了配合横须贺和平中央公园更新，HAKUTEN设计了一座象征和平的纪念碑，唤起现代人心中几乎消失的和平意识。据悉，该公园建造于战争期间的Yonegahama炮台遗址之上。

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，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。出现在日常景观中的光柱引起观者的注意并带给他们积极的感受。发光体接通发电机，即使在停电或灾变的时候也可以像灯塔一样将人们引导至作为紧急疏散场地的公园。

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. 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.

和平之轴作为新景观置入横须贺，支撑着人们的生活。纪念碑的天花和中央柱子上装饰着许多圆孔。自古以来，圆就象征“无限与永恒”，出于对持久和平的愿望，设计团队邀请市民画圆，然后将其转换成数据并收集起来。设计团队利用从公园高地吹来的海风创造雕刻圆圈的图案，通过激光将这些手绘的圆圈一个个打成圆孔。此外，设计团队还用3D设备扫描印在前炮台砖块上的樱花冠，将其转化为混凝土基座的纹理。由此，人们的希望和土地的记忆都被刻在纪念碑上。

The axis of peace has been added to the landscape of Yokosuka, supporting people’s lives as a new landscape. 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. 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，纪念碑沐浴在阳光中，光线穿过圆孔，前方景观开阔，为人们提供了可以感受平静的场所。到了晚上，这里布满代表人们和平愿望的小光圈，呼应山上房屋的光柱，映出世界各地的“和平”字眼。我们真诚地希望这座纪念碑可以受到人们的喜爱，成为和平的象征。

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