Let's design an ideal convention center
return to the index
Another important things.

I experienced a lot in charge of the opening preparation the exhibition center. I shall say additionally notes for the people who might take charge of the same work. 

Neither the design company nor the custom builder teach the structural problem in the building. 

Let's assume that there is a problem in the design of the building where management is entrusted to you now. It might be a defect which seems to be unnecessary to repair. 

However, when the defect is pointed out by the customer after the building opened, perhaps you should repair it by your responsibility. 

I wonder whether the design company noticed such a defect. The designer would answer as follows to your question: "It is a difference of the opinion.","I checked it a lot repeatedly." or   "Consent was received from the purchaser. "

However, it would not be enough to criticize the designer has no sense of responsibility.

If the designer noticed the defect on the way, and said that he wanted to repair it, the designer might come to have admitted the design mistake voluntarily. Naturally, the cost for the repair should become the load of the designer.
If the management side pointed out the problem, it would become the negotiation problem which allots the cost load. 

Therefore,  the management side must point out such a repair part while the cost is minimum.

For instance, in the ideal exhibition hall, we set the passage up at the position where we can look over the hall. However, when small articles drop here, it is very dangerous. 
Please confirm the space to one's feet of the handrail. The tool might drop out from there.

The cellular phone might drop from the pocket of the chest when someone lean forward. I wonder whether the defense net will be prepared.

Might someone stumble and being injured when there is a difference in atrium floor. 

It is necessary to paste the seal etc. to insist, "The glass will be here" on the glass side. 

I wonder whether the door in the emergency passage is a mechanism so that it could be opened immediately even by the person of the panic situation. Is the signature of the fire exit set up at the position seen well?

There are a lot of parts which the management side should often check.

Having become considerable adjustment construction for Tokyo Big Sight was the conference building rooftop. 
In the design, the customer cannot go out to the outside because the rooftop was dangerous. 
However, when going up to the rooftop, we were impressed by the spectacle.
Therefore, it is windless (10m or less in velocity of the wind), the conference building rooftop is opened to across-the-board those who come. 
The handrail etc. are installed, and the guard member is standing there. 
Cost was extra fairly caused.

However, when we see a lot of people are satisfied of the scenery of the Odaiba,  which is advertised as "Foreign countries in Tokyo" on the rooftop not through the glass (moreover, in free), we are actually feeling that we have never used meaningless cost. 


Do not trust the benevolence of the enterprise. If there is a certain kind of interest between that companies and you.

The opening preparation of a big building is extremely busy.

Because, what should be decided is very abundant. However, we do not have necessary knowledge enough. 

The enterprise says, "We want to help you free of charge" this time. 

It is a welcome word in reality so I felt almost to overflow the tears.
However, you should refuse coldly.

If you have helped to purchase by the handling trader of furniture , they will know the predetermined price etc.. 

However, you would come to want to ask for help.

I want to ask the person who has the authority. Please apply workers of an enough number for the opening preparation in a big building. 

In addition, there are a lot of temptations from traders.
A decisive action is necessary in order to be never criticized variously later. 


There are a lot of sudden sales promotions, so you cannot work.

There are a lot of traders who come to promote the sales without the appointment, too. they would say "It is enough for me to be heard my explanation about the goods". 
Perhaps,  you feel not good to reject him without seeing his face. 

But, do you know there are a lot of numbers of merchants in this world at all ?
It is not possible to work at all when you receives all members. However, you often instinctively receives him for about 30 minutes when he entreat you by saying "It is good at ten minutes". 

Let's make an effort to have him to return in a short time. 
The salesman with a bad imagination also comes if you receive him even once. Even if you explain, "I cannot take part in the trader decision in any way", He would say "It is good enough, I want you to hear my speech by all means, please". 

However, even if he was the trader who had come for sales as ardently as every day until the contractor is decided, after defeated at the trader decision, there are few salesmen who come for greeting to say "please call me again in next occasion though this time was regrettable for me ".

When the result comes out, all are cool. 
It is only while your face looks like money that the salesman persuades you. 


There are very very quite a lot of visits. 

I do not want to speak this any longer.

We employed a special guide for the visit group. Still, we could not receive all visits only by the guide.

We serve our customer of VIP class. However, we could not do our clerical work therefore for 2-3 hours. By two visit in a day, we could hardly do our work at that day during daytime. However there is hugely work to process. 

It became that many irrelevant tourist enterprises came to call on me after that.
They saw us guiding our visit guest. So they wanted us to guide their guest too. They approach the person at the position which we cannot refuse and plan the tour. And, they asked us for the guide by the guest's name. 
An absurd tourist enterprise had driven up to the hall parking lot without the appointment. You should be careful.

We installed the standard because there were too many visit applicants.
#1:When it is promoter's group, person in charge of sales guide them. 
#2:We consent without fail when it is VIP which cannot be never refused.
#3:Besides, refuse, refuse, refuse! 

My work has been changed from the establishment preparation to the visit reception. In addition, my work has been changed from the visit reception to the visit rejection. Anyway, even when worrying about the judgment, I rejected. If I had accepted one customer, the guide is surely requested by using that name next time.

However, also in the people who coldly rejected, I think the customer in the future might have been included. Regret remains. 


The taking picture group of the commercial is impudent.

It is often said that the public utility in Japan does not cooperate in taking a picture of the movie etc.
I thought it was wrong.

Anyway, if the building is exposed somewhere even a little, it becomes the advertisement. Person in charge of public relations wanted to be taken the picture of his facilities at first.
Actually, when the center was destroyed by Godzilla, I was glad to think "Tokyo Big Sight become to the building which represent Japan at last". 

However, the taking a picture group of the commercial was too despotic. 
As a rule, taking a picture was refused.

The expert of persuasion comes first usually, when the taking a picture group wants to use the facilities.
He says as follows: We does not trouble you. I am always watching them. The collaborator name is put out. It is displayed, "Studio place :Tokyo Big Sight". the picture taken in a day is used many times in broadcasting. etc. etc..

However, the director is another person as for an actual taking a picture. 
He is obviously an artist, and is a sensibility person.
The place wherever he wants to take a picture automatically becomes a studio place. 

He put the model on the table of the glass. He had her run on the escalator oppositely. He had the actor climbed in the art work. To take a picture of the art work, he does everything.
When it is a group of low-level, the staff is also same as a suspicious-looking group. Such people stroll impudently in the hall. Actually, they had been caught by the guard member. 

The person who has requested the taking a picture permission first cannot order to the director not to do so. He do nothing but apologizes single-mindedly. Then, we felt that we might permit them 

They are indeed clever. 
When the reflection was broadcast, we were scolded "Who permitted that!". 
There was no collaborator name, no studio place. The reflection of the entire facilities was cut. The place was only for lent free of charge. 

When we determined we never lend them our facilities, we notices the staff never come any more. 
Taking a picture of the movie is refused here and there. So they were polite. But the staff of the telecast and the commercial was the mixture members only of one time. 

After these kind of accident occurred, some of our member always came to observe them. From early morning to late at night. So we could not do our work.
