Art gallery
The art gallery is a branch of an existing museum. The site is beside a pond. The existing museum's collection consists mainly of works by artists associated with the prefecture, Spanish art, and modern and contemporary art. The branch museum will house and exhibit the contemporary of these works. The aim is to create a facility that can be visited and enjoyed by people who are not interested in art. Not only that, but it is also expected to play a role in directing people to the existing museum.

The wife holds craft classes at home on an irregular basis. Three children are 7, 5 and 3 years old.Our three children are 7, 5 and 3 years old.

As the house is expected to receive many visitors, I made sure that the family has enough personal space. The first floor changes its shape as the children grow. When the children are young, there is a second living room where they can play. When the children grow up and want to have their own room, the second living room can be converted into a bedroom for each child.

4 Tourist Facilities Evacuation Center Plaza The site is famous for beautiful scenery and its delicious seafood. Thereore, a lot of people visit this place for sightseeing. However, this city 2 plooblems. First is ageing of tourist facilities, and the other is that there is a risk of Tsunami (seismic sea wave). In order to solve these issues, I suggest facilities which have both fuctions of sightseeing and shelter.

5 Centre for Arts and Culture In Japan, companies support the arts and culture industry, while citizens have fewer opportunities to get involved in it. However, due to the recent economic downturn, fewer and fewer companies are supporting it. If this situation continues, it is expected that the industry will decline. Therefore, in order to prevent the decline of the arts and culture, I believe that it is necessary to strengthen the ties between citizens and the arts and culture, and to create a new system to support it. The aim of this facility is to strengthen the links between "citizens" and "culture and art".
Location : Toyonaka-city, Osaka prefecture, Japan 15
The city in which the site is located There are professional orchestras and music colleges in the city, and the city encourages activities related to art and culture. Despite this fact, there are few people who can make a living as artists and their activities are not well known by the citizens. The aim is to bring together both types of people in this facility and to promote artistic and cultural exchange.
