はじめて基町を訪れる方に

基町資料室は、基町アパートに興味があるけど、どこに行けばわからないという方 や、基町に関心のある方と交流をしたいという方のためのビジターセンターです。基町エリアは、城下町から軍事都市、そして平和都市へと移り変わった広島の歴史と密接に関わっている地域です。戦後、住宅営団や県市が旧陸軍用地に作った応急住宅の街は、現在では約3,000戸全てが市営住宅の団地になりました。その街の変遷を、地域内外から集めた当時の写真、地図などの資料で振り返ります。また、基町アパートの建築模型（全体模型1/300、住居模型1/30）を通じて、建築家大髙正人による人工地盤を取り入れたメタボリズム建築の魅力を学ぶことができます。ご来場の際には、まず最初にM98のスタッフへお声がけ下さい。スタッフが資料室を解錠してご案内いたします。

“For First-Time Visitors To Motomachi”
Motomachi Archive Room is a visitor center for those who are interested in the Motomachi Apartments but don’t know where to go or who want to be connected with others interest in the Motomachi Apartments. The Motomachi area is deeply connected with the history of Hiroshima, which transformed from a castle town to a military town, and finally into a city of peace. After World War II, temporary housing was built by the housing corp of Hiroshima prefecture and city in the former army site. Today about 3,000 homes have all become a municipal housing complex. In the Motomachi Archive Room, you can look back the transition of the town through the photos and maps of that time collected from the within and outside the area. We also have an architectural model of the Motomachi Apartment (the whole model: 1/300, the house model: 1/30). You can learn the attractiveness of the metabolism architecture of architect Masato Otaka, who applied artificial ground into his architectural design.
