Painting of Delusional City The city from the viewpoints of abstract paintings Final diploma work (Meijo University, Undergraduate 4th year) Instructor : Nobutake Sato Location : Nagoya, Japan Building type : Folly Period : September 2018 - February 2019
Architecture and urban design method by an abstract painting Architecture has always progressed with art and has been a kind of artistic expression.However, cities have become the subject of science because have left the art behind and developed as industries. We tend to think of cities as advanced, complex, and hopeless. I believe that cities should be ďŹ lled with fantasy . That's why I stopped thinking with my sti head about cities and expressed another city map exisiting in the parallel world. This is an experimental proposal that reduces the negative urban image and makes us possible to be interested in our cities even a little bit.
0.BACKGROUND
Unstable,unsure,sti... The urban image everyone holds is always gloomy. That is like an invisible huge monster.Nobody can see or touch it. We look at a city as if we were manipulated by it.
I lived in the center of N
and had a nagative ur
Nagoya, Japan,
rban image.
I drew the city to love it, and to ďŹ nd its charm.
0.BACKGROUND
My painting became more and more abstract, and there was the charm of the city
The small abstract imagination that even children could think of made the city interes And that began to disappear my negative urban image.
y.
sting.
Originally, a city is attractive. Just, we don't notice its charm. If we want to make a city better, I think that necessary is a small architecture changing the urban image, not big violent urban design.

Of course, Nagoya City comprises artificial and non-artificial elements. These are visible forms on the map. Such visible forms are drawn by lines. In addition, the City also comprises historical elements. Such invisible forms are painted by surfaces. Next, while being inspired by the flow of lines and the power of surfaces, an abstract urban painting is created.
ABSTRACT URBAN PAINTING IN NAGOYA
What is “Silent Point” ? I wrote a thesis about abstract paintings drawn by Wassily Kandinsky. Found: ・In the early days of abstract expression, many abstract painters had erased the vanishing points. ・Kandinsky alone said that there was an important point in abstract painting. ・That point is called “silent point” . ・The silent point is necessary and important to decide compositon of a painting.

Inconvenient Architecture Educational and Individual Work (Meijo University, Undergraduate 4th year) Instructor : Nobuyuki Nomura Location : Endo-ji, Nagoya Building type : Wharf Period : April 2018 - May 2018
Is inconvenience important? I'm born with a disease that leaves me able to see less colors than ordinary people. My doctor said the disease that is have become color-blindness. However, this handicap has enriched my perspective in life. I considered architecture which, despite this inconvenience, would be functional, eective and enriching. This current worksite is a bording point for river tours during high tide a few times a month; thus there are few opportunities to be used. I am proposing a public wharf that could be used not only for tourists but also for residents. I plan to revitalize this area through its renovation.
The “to see/to be seen” relationship Up to now, many lens tools have been invented. They have a fixed direction to look at, and so does architecture. For instance, the window is for seeing from inside to outside, and the exterior is for being seen from outside. As for this faceless art, the part of the face is covered by something. Such a inconvenience (e.g,. Being hidden, lacked, useless, and unnatural) have the power to change a “to see/to be seen” relationship.
1-1.Vertically long void
1-2.Narrow passage
2-1.Wall to hide
2-2.View cut out
1-3.Dark underground
2-3.Indirect roof
1-x Physical inconvenience 2-x Visual inconvenience
Diagram about inconvenience: We tend to hate inconvenience. Housing, commercial and public buildings are excessively and functionally designed and convenient. However, It's not possible to enrich us by only being in that environment. This design contains two kinds of inconveniences. One is the “physical inconvenience” e.g., a narrow dark passageway or a void too high. It can change the sense of distance between something and something else such as people, things, and sky. The other is “visual inconvenience” e.g., a wall that hinders the view or a roof that reflects something indirectly. Architecture, especially public works, always have the “to see/to be seen” relationship. Changing the relationship helps us feel better because we will spend more time in a convenient environment.

The site: It's located in Nagoya, Japan. The Horikawa canal was constructed from the sea to Nagoya Castle in order to carry building materials to build a castle in 1610. This area became a commodity distribution center and prospered. However now, the function has been lost and only “kawakudari� (going downstream) in a tourist boat is done here for sightseeing. Besause of the tides, the tourist boats can only arrive at their boarding points when the event and high tide line up. Therefore, this space is unfortunately only for tourists who use it a few times a month.

Long ago in this area, there was a small altar, called Yanegami in order to ward off disease and disasters. However, the number of these is decreasing every year due to loss of faith, and using up valuable real estate. By purposely incorporating the altar into the design of the wharf, people have the opportunity to connect with and understand their traditional ways.

Culture Center with Black box Educational and Individual Work (Meijo University, Undergraduate 3rd year) Instructor : Kyoko Ikuta Location : Sakae, Nagoya Building type : Culture center Period : October 2017 - December 2017
Black & White Box Many various people have visited this area, where many large facilities are packed. Some people like open and active places, but others prefer closed and quiet places. However, it's hard to ďŹ nd the places to calm down in such a busy downtown district. I don't think the noise in the city is bad because it makes us comfortable sometimes. It's important that there are many choices there. This is why I designed an open crowd, called "white box" and a closed silence, called "black box". People can move around freely in this building as if people's mood changed impulsively.
The site: Sakae is Nagoya city's main shopping and
entertainment area, dealing predominately to the young people, as well as the town's legions of students and salarymen in search of after-hours fun.

Housing complex behind the city Educational and Individual Work (Meijo University, Undergraduate 3th year) Instructor : Makoto Tanida Location : Cho-jamachi, Nagoya Building type : Apartment house Period : April 2017 - June 2017
The proximity between work and home Since the end of World War II, the population and industry has been concentrated in cities. Many architects and urban planners tried to reduce the concentration of urban population by separating residential and working places, as our houses were only designed to protect privacy. Soon, we began to wake up in the morning, work in the city, and go home to sleep. We began to have a "public face" and "private face". This apartment hold ten people and six households. Each has one bedroom, one workroom, and a detected house, called Hanare in Japan. Except for utilities are shared between the residents. The Hanare can be borrowed or rent freely. This apartment separetes residental and working places, and circulates the economy on a scale of less than one block.

in 1920 Separation between residental and working place : Before the war in Japan, roads were a place where people worked and socialized with neighbors. The postwar urban planners inspired by E.Howard's concepts of “Garden City� separated their working places from their homes. The paths for humans have turned into roads for cars, and this city has also been the wide roads, called the 100-meter road.

Over-protected units : Not a few people live on units without knowing what kind of neighbors live in the next doors. Such closed unit form has triggered Japan's social problems, such as the child abuse, lonely death, Hikikomori, and so on. I hope an apartment needs a mixture of public and private place, and it will be a lively place for everyone, not just residents.

Field Survey :
The site is located in Cho-jamachi, Nagoya. This block is an office district, so there are few houses and apartments, and there are many buildings about 10 to 30 meters high. The site is sandwiched between the buildings and having access from two directions, south and east. Therefore, this site that can be passed through has potential as a path.
