Roads, bridges, buildings, networks, and infrastructure are essential in our daily lives as gamers. In games such as Fortnite, we are building structures such as barriers and staircases, and we are also getting more and more involved in architectural design exercises using the educational version of Minecraft. While playing games, you may sometimes wonder what to create next, but sometimes you need input. The best way to do that is to actually see with your own eyes the buildings and structures that exist in the real world! On Friday, November 29, 2024, the " Nikkenren Award 2024 " was held to honor outstanding buildings and structures, and a total of 27 awards were presented. The inauguration ceremony of actor Takumi Momose, who was appointed as an ambassador of the 5th "JCRE Awards 2024," was also held.

At the venue, there were panels with photos and explanations of the buildings and structures that won the "Civil Engineering Award" and "BCS Award". The Civil Engineering Award went to "Akita Shinkansen Saichigawa Bridge Reconstruction," "Tamarai Dam Construction," "New East-West Free Passage at Shinjuku Station," and a wide range of bridge and dam construction projects.
The BCS Award also went to "ESCON Field HOKKAIDO," "Ishikawa Prefectural Library," "Tokorozawa Sakura Town," and other buildings that have become popular tourist attractions and topics of conversation! Among the award-winning projects this year, the author has a special attachment to the new construction of the East-West Free Passageway at Shinjuku Station, as it has made it much easier to get around Shinjuku Station.

This is a joint media interview and includes questions from outside the SaigaNAK editorial team.
Q. How did you feel when you were chosen as an ambassador?
It had been a little over a month since I was chosen as an ambassador until today's inauguration ceremony, but after the ceremony, I realized once again that I had become an ambassador.
Q. Please tell us about the activities you would like to do as an ambassador by conveying the appeal of structures and architecture.
I would like to communicate through SNS that structures and buildings, which have been a part of our daily lives until now, are enriching people's lives and society in many ways.
Q. I know that you want the younger generation to know more about architecture and structures.
To be honest, there are still some parts that are unfamiliar to me, so I would like to convey the appeal of architecture through various activities from now on. I would be happy if I could find friends among the younger generation with whom I can communicate with.
Communicating the appeal of architecture to the younger generation through SNS!
