设计特色：

项目 - Studio Ghibli与NIHON SEKKEI在日本爱知县共同打造了吉卜力公园"魔女之谷"，作为五大园区中的最后一个开放区域。这个项目继承了2005年爱知世博会的理念，旨在"向自然机制学习，解决全球问题，创造可持续社会"。设计团队摒弃了传统主题公园的做法，转而采用融合欧洲建筑风格与奇幻元素的方法，将《魔女宅急便》、《哈尔的移动城堡》和《安雅与魔女》中的标志性场景具体化为三维空间体验。

整个设计基于三大理念：向时间学习、思考人文关怀、培育环境可持续性。项目融合了传统建筑技术与现代科技，包括空心砖砌筑、干砌石工艺、半木结构和曲拱桁架等历史建筑方法，精心选择石材、砖块、木材、铁、铜、石膏和瓷砖等材料，创造出能够激发游客想象力并调动全部感官体验的空间。

魔女之谷的中心是令人叹为观止的20米高哈尔移动城堡复制品，这一建筑每小时不定期喷发白烟，部分结构会定时旋转。城堡内部细致还原了电影中的场景，包括客厅、卡西法的壁炉和哈尔的卧室等空间。园区还引入了吉卜力公园首个电动游乐设施——旋转木马和飞行游乐项目，同时保持与周围自然环境的和谐融合。

园区的景观设计巧妙融入现有地形，保留自然环境的同时增强了体验的沉浸感。整个区域被构建为一个连贯的城镇景观，包括苏菲的帽子店、琪琪的面包店和安雅的魔女住所，以及各类特色建筑，如飞行烤箱和飞行员塔等。这种现实与幻想之间边界模糊的设计创造了梦幻般的环境，让游客能够自由穿梭于吉卜力世界与现实之间。

由于其在建筑领域的创新成就和对公众建筑兴趣的扩大，吉卜力公园"魔女之谷"荣获了"2025年日本建筑奖"的特别奖。

团队 - 吉卜力工作室（Studio Ghibli）成立于1985年6月15日，由导演宫崎骏、高畑勋、制片人铃木敏夫和德间康快共同创立，经过近四十年的发展，已从一家动画工作室发展成为对空间叙事和建筑想象力有深远影响的创意力量。工作室位于东京都小金井市，在动画行业拥有强大影响力，同时将作品范围扩展到多种媒体形式。

在现任荣誉主席宫崎骏、主席铃木敏夫、社长福田博之及导演宫崎吾朗的领导下，Studio Ghibli持续模糊幻想与建筑环境之间的界限。"魔女之谷"项目由宫崎吾朗监督，他是多部吉卜力电影的导演，也是这个项目的领导者。设计过程中，他的草图与设计师的方案经过精心审核和持续反馈，确保忠实实现构想的世界。整个开发过程围绕"为什么不能做到？"和"我们如何使它成为可能？"等问题展开讨论，从规划到完成的对话代表了项目的最大挑战。

作为一家专注于创造促进想象力和社会联系的空间的机构，Studio Ghibli通过三鹰市的吉卜力美术馆（2001年）和全面的吉卜力公园开发（2022-2024年）展示了其在保持叙事完整性的同时创造功能性、可建造空间方面的卓越技能，将动画中的幻想世界以物理和建筑的形式呈现给观众。

Project - Studio Ghibli and NIHON SEKKEI have collaboratively created the "Valley of Witches" in Ghibli Park, Aichi Prefecture, as the final area to open among the park's five zones. This project inherits the philosophy of the 2005 Aichi Expo, aiming to "learn from the mechanism of nature, solve global issues, and create a sustainable society." The design team departed from conventional theme park approaches, instead adopting a method that fuses European architectural styles with fantastical elements to transform iconic scenes from "Kiki's Delivery Service," "Howl's Moving Castle," and "Earwig and the Witch" into three-dimensional spatial experiences.

The entire design is founded on three concepts: Learning from Time, Thinking of People, and Nurturing Environmental Sustainability. The project integrates traditional construction techniques with modern technology, employing historical building methods such as hollow-core brick masonry, dry-stone construction, half-timber framing, and cruck truss structures. Materials including stone, brick, wood, iron, copper, plaster, and tiles were meticulously selected to create spaces that stimulate visitors' imagination and engage all sensory faculties.

At the center of the Valley stands an awe-inspiring 20-meter-tall replica of Howl's Moving Castle, which periodically emits white smoke and features rotating structural elements. The castle interior faithfully recreates scenes from the film, including the living room, Calcifer's hearth, and Howl's bedroom. The area also introduces Ghibli Park's first electric attractions—a carousel and flying ride—while maintaining harmony with the surrounding natural environment.

The landscape design thoughtfully integrates with the existing topography, preserving the natural setting while enhancing the immersive quality of the experience. The entire area is structured as a cohesive townscape featuring Sophie's hat shop, Kiki's bakery, and Earwig's witch residence, along with distinctive structures such as the Flying Oven and the Tower of Aviators. This design, which deliberately blurs the boundaries between reality and fantasy, creates a dreamlike environment allowing visitors to step freely between Ghibli's world and reality.

For its innovative achievements in architecture and expansion of public interest in the field, the Ghibli Park "Valley of Witches" was awarded a Special Prize in the "2025 Japan Architecture Award."

Design Team - Founded on June 15, 1985, by directors Hayao Miyazaki, Isao Takahata, producer Toshio Suzuki, and Yasuyoshi Tokuma, Studio Ghibli has evolved over nearly four decades from an animation studio into a creative force with profound influence on spatial narrative and architectural imagination. Based in Koganei, Tokyo, the studio maintains a strong presence in the animation industry while expanding its portfolio across various media formats.

Under the current leadership of Honorary Chairman Hayao Miyazaki, Chairman Toshio Suzuki, President Hiroyuki Fukuda, and Director Gorō Miyazaki, Studio Ghibli continues to blur the boundaries between fantasy and built environment. The "Valley of Witches" project was supervised by Gorō Miyazaki, director of several Studio Ghibli films and leader of this project. Throughout the design process, his sketches combined with designers' proposals underwent meticulous review and continuous feedback to ensure faithful realization of the envisioned world. Discussions throughout the development centered around questions such as "Why can't it be done?" and "How can we make it possible?"—ongoing dialogues that represented some of the project's greatest challenges.

As an institution focused on creating spaces that foster imagination and social connection, Studio Ghibli has demonstrated exceptional skill in preserving narrative integrity while creating functional, buildable spaces through the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka (2001) and the comprehensive Ghibli Park development (2022-2024), presenting animated fantasy worlds to audiences in physical, architectural form.
