Fujifilm to open FUJIFILM Creative Village in Tokyo
December 21, 2022
It will be the new base for Fujifilm Group’s design and IT development Designers and IT engineers.
FUJIFILM Corporation announced that it will open the FUJIFILM Creative Village in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo, as a new base for Fujifilm Group’s design and IT development. The new facility consists of two buildings, namely the design development base “CLAY” and the IT development base “ITs”.
The FUJIFILM Creative Village, due to open in May 2023, is aimed at facilitating designers and IT engineers to exert creativity and maximise performance, while amassing the strengths of the two groups to accelerate the creation of innovation, thereby developing innovative products and services.
Fujifilm’s designers worked on the development from concept creation to architectural and spatial design of the FUJIFILM Creative Village. Both “CLAY” and “ITs” have an exterior characterised by wide, open windows and sharp and solid concrete construction, the company explained. “CLAY” features a video studio and a prototype production room equipped with 3D printers and coating booths, while “ITs” has a workspace layout that can be used in different ways depending on the development phase, including a desk layout for small groups of IT engineers to discuss and create concept, and individual booths for programming and other tasks that require concentration.
The FUJIFILM Creative Village will employ a variety of energy-saving technologies, the company added. The buildings’ thermal insulation performance will be improved by installing heat-insulating materials inside the building frame, and adopts a “double-skin façade”, double structure with glass covering the exterior walls of the building, on the south and east sides, where sunlight penetrates into the building, to reduce the load on air conditioning and lighting.
In addition, all electricity used in the building will be derived from renewable energy sources to achieve a carbon-neutral building, the company confirmed.
