DESCRIPTION

FORM FOLLOWS FLUIDITY

2003 FALL DESIGN STUDIO SITE: NISHI-KU, YOKOHAMA, KANAGAWA, JAPAN PROGRAM: FITNESS CENTER

DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION This project is to design a fitness center. The site is on the corner of the intersection of very busy national roads and is surrounded by a variety of traffic FLUIDITY such as pedestrians, cars on the highways and the national roads, and trains on the elevated railway. Plus, there are a lot of graffiti on the walls of the elevated railway. The graffiti are seen as art and preserved legally. The graffiti have unique paint FLUIDITY.

I believe that the fluidity of the building and surroundings resonate with each other, and not only the idea, form follows functions but also my idea, FORM FOLLOWS FLUIDITY would be good architecture methodologies.

FORM FOLLOWS FLUIDITY

I explored fluidity in architecture to make the building and the surroundings resonate with each other. The fluidity I found out in architecture was FLUID STRUCTURE and CONNECTIVTY OF DISTINCT FUNCTIONS. To achieve fluid structure, I rounded all edges between wall and floor and wall and ceiling. The rounded edges blurred the separation of floor, wall and ceiling. The blurred separation created a sense of SPATIAL FLUIDITY, CONTINUITY and FLOW. In addition, the fluid structure connected and embraced distinct functions of fitness center smoothly. The structure generated fluid circulation within the building.

RECONSIDERATION OF THE ROLE OF WORKPLACE

RECONSIDERATION OF THE ROLE OF WORKPLACE dvances in information and communication technologies have been changA ing meaning of places. The advances and diversification of work styles have been enhancing mobility and dispersion of workers for last 20 years. The advances have made it possible for us to work whenever and wherever we want. For example, telecommunication would allow us to work at home without long commutes, and we wouldn’t have to leave every time we want to speak with somebody. We could stay wherever we want. Moreover, the advances in information and communication technologies have created new kinds of occupations, and encouraged people to start new business or try new things.

ASSEMBLED URBAN CAVE CLUSTER

As the result of occupational diversification, people who work individually or in a small group have increased and spread out in various locations. Artists, designers and creators especially tend to prefer working in a small group wherever they want. s the information and communication technologies become advanced, A mobility and dispersion of workers have increased, but at the same time, the importance of direct interaction has also increased. Given this situation,

I think I should reconsider the role of workplace and discover new design for workplace to fit new work styles. I’d like to reconsider the meaning of “GATHERING.” Gathering contributes to connecting various people who have professional abilities or creative talents. A new encounter leads to a new relationship. The relationship creates other new encounters. Gathering permits people to cross various boundaries and have opportunities to encounter. o I propose a new type of creative workplace to stimulate creativity and S collaboration as my graduate thesis. The new type of workplace assembles dispersed people who have various types of jobs and diversified work styles.

AOYAMA

Tokyo appears to be very chaotic, disorganized or disorderly, but it is a city that works really well. Tokyo’s townscape is perhaps very unique among world’s great cities. In order to find what makes Tokyo’s townscape unique, I did urban design research especially in Harajuku area, Tokyo , which I called “Tokyo Design Research.” TOKAI UNIVERSITY 2005 UNDERGRADUATE THESIS 27

URBANCAVE

URBAN CAVE I researched in Harajuku area, Tokyo, because Harajuku area is the most popular place where many artists, designers and creators like to live and work. I thought there were some reasons why the people want to live and work there despite being able to work wherever they want. What I noticed through my design research was fascination of urban gap spaces between buildings in Harajuku area. There are generally two kinds of gap spaces. One is urban streets and alleyways. The other one is void space except for urban streets and alleyways. Harajuku’s basic street structure was established in1800s. Afterwards, many narrow streets and alleyways were added into the area chaotically. So now Harajuku’s street structure is very complicated.

ASSEMBLED URBAN CAVE CLUSTER

Buildings in Japan don’t share walls with adjacent buildings due to Japan’s architectural code and its architectural customs even though a city is high dense. Therefore, gap spaces between buildings are generated by the reason. I call urban a gap space in Harajuku “URBAN CAVE.” There are two reasons why I call the urban gap space “URBAN CAVE.” The first thing is a similarity in a generative process between urban gap space in Tokyo and a cave. The urban

gap spaces formed by adding streets chaotically and Japan’s architectural code and its architectural customs are byproducts regardless of people’s intensions. On the other hands, a cave is formed by various natural geologic processes such as erosion from water and tectonic forces regardless of human being’s desire, intensions or needs. The both urban gap space and a cave are generated regardless of human beings intensions. In that sense, the urban gap space is artificial, but at the same time, is able to be conceived as natural topography like “CAVE.”

More important, the urban gap space stimulates human beings creativity especially in Harajuku area. It is as if people thought about or tried to find how they use and live in a cave. In other words, a cave is a place where how human beings can use the space is not predetermined, and they discover and define how they use the space, interpreting topographical hints of the cave by themselves freely. In that sense, urban gap space seems to have the same spatial quality as a “CAVE” has. Urban gap space and a “CAVE” have interesting similarities in the generative process that is disinterested in human beings intensions and spatial quality that stimulates human beings creativity. Therefore, I call urban gap space in Harajuku “URBAN CAVE.” I think such a generative principle and a spatial quality of “URBAN CAVE” are essential elements of what attracts people especially such as artists, designers, creators, and stimulates their creativity and makes them feel comfortable.

SEQUENTIAL CHANGES IN DISTANCE BETWEEN PEOPLE AND BUILDINGS

TOKAI UNIVERSITY 2005 UNDERGRADUATE THESIS

ASSEMBLED URBAN CAVE CLUSTER

Once you walk through URBAN CAVES of a dense city of Tokyo, DISTANCE between people and objects (buildings) changes rapidly and sequentially. The sequential changes attract walkers. According to a behavioral scientist, modern people in a dense city of Tokyo are able to have a flexible sense of changes in distance. I think the sequential changes in distance make spatial experiences in URBAN CAVES more fascinating and intriguing.

My proposal is to extract URBAN CAVES, which I found out as a unique characteristic of Harajuku area through the Tokyo Design Research, to define the extracted URBAN CAVES as URBAN CAVE BLOCKS, and then apply the blocks to a new building for artistin-residence program. By grafting URBAN CAVES onto the building, the unique characteristic of Harajuku(or Tokyo) is preserved within the building, and simultaneously infuses new types of spatial qualities into it. The spaces of URBAN CAVES are places where HOW PEOPLE CAN USE THE SPACES IS NOT PREDETERMINED LIKE A CAVE. In other words, the spaces are SITE SPECIFIC. So users have to explore, define and come up with how they can use the spaces.

PROPOSAL METHOD

I believe that such spaces of URBAN CAVES stimulate their creativity and encourage them to collaborate with each other, crossing over the borders between their profession.

The patterns of URBAN CAVEs are extruded.

The plan patterns of URBAN CAVEs are conceived as sectional patterns to make the URBAN CAVEs spread vertically and horizontally.

EXTRACTION OF URBAN CAVE BLOCKS

25 forms of URBAN CAVEs are extracted from Harajuku area and site’s surroundings. The extracted forms are abstracted, and patterns of URBAN CAVEs are generated.

Spaces of URBAN CAVES are NOT limited to one function as opposed to the spaces except URBAN CAVES. The spaces of URBAN CAVES are places where users can define how they use the spaces, interpreting its TOPOGRAPHIC-LIKE spatial qualities freely.

2005 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN COMPETITION

RAINY DOMAIN

For Japanese people, rain or rainy scenes seem to have special meaning. In order to make scenes more emotional, intriguing or attractive, RAIN and RAINY SCENE have been used in many Japanese films, dramas, plays, poets, novels and paintings for centuries.

I have a strong interest in rain and scenes that rain generates. I analyzed rain, and found out RAINY DOMAIN as one element of how rain makes people emotional or fascinates people. When it starts to rain, people open up their umbrellas, and then individual domains that they are not aware of until it rains appear. I call the individual domain RAINY DOMAIN. The domain boundaries can be felt, but are invisible and very ambiguous. Rainy scenes are poetry and look like illusion because rain creates ambiguous boundaries visually and blurs scenes. The fascination of RAINY SCENES is related to RAINY DOMAIN. Given these, I designed a shelter from the rain based on the idea of RAINY DOMAIN. By using a lot of slender columns, I visualized invisible RAINY DOMAIN. The shelter creates illusion of dramatic rainy scene on sunny days. When it rains, it merges into real rainy scene and disappears in the rain.

RAINY DOMAIN

OKU is a word to express a sense of depth in Japanese based on unique spatial perception in Japan. However, OKU in Japanese is NOT equivalent to DEPTH in English. It’s very hard to translate the word into English. The concept of OKU was usually incorporated into Japanese traditional architectural design. To generate a sense of OKU, Japanese traditional buildings have many layers of soft boundaries within and outside the buildings to connect interior with exterior. Once people penetrate the layers, they can feel a sense of OKU.

2005 CONCEPTUAL DESIGN COMPETITION

We can feel a sense of OKU in the rain. Rain creates infinite layers of ambiguous boundaries and blurs scenes. As a result, rain gives birth to a sense of OKU.

INTRODUCTION / SITE ANALYSIS

INTRODUCTION he reason why I transform the rooftop parking structure into green roof with T solar panels is that in many cases, rooftop spaces, especially rooftop parking lots are wasted, and have great potential for sustainability.

First, my most favorite place in LA is the rooftop parking lots. In my home country, Japan, there are not many big high-rise multilayer-parking structures as LA has. In very dense cites such as Tokyo and New York City, parking lots are typically located underground or at small gap spaces between buildings. So the first time I came to LA, I was surprised that there are many huge parking structures above the ground level in the big city, Los Angeles. To me, public rooftop parking lots in LA are very attractive and fascinating. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because everyone can easily get splendid views. For example, you can look down the Pacific Ocean from the top of

INTRODUCTION / SITE ANALYSIS

parking structure on 2nd street in Santa Monica. In addition, Los Angeles doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have very high-rise buildings except for downtown area. So many rooftop parking lots would provide unobstructed 360-degree views and a sense of openness with amazing LA weather that should be one of the most important elements to attract me. I thought rooftop parking lots would become much more intriguing and better public spaces. More importantly, converting rooftop parking space into green roof with solar panels would bring us a lot of benefits such as reducing outdoor air temperature and the urban heat island effect, absorbing rainwater, filtering the air, providing fresh local herbs, fruits and vegetables, and generating free electricity from the direct sunlight. The green roof with solar panels would improve our urban environment meeting our needs.

DESIGN DESCRIPTION / SECTION PERSPECTIVE

DESIGN DESCRIPTION In order to achieve the ideal conditions for solar panels which are a south-facing pitched roof, I added elevated surface to existing surface on the south side, and the elevated surface and the existing surface are connected smoothly continuously. I also undulated the elevated surface to house mechanical rooms, elevator cores and organic food restaurants in proportion to those room sizes underneath, and at the same time, the elevated and undulated surface echoes mountains on the north side, which can be viewed from the site beautifully. As a result, the undulated surface forms artificial terrain. If the vegetation grows on the green roof, the boundary between landscape and roofscape or artificial landscape and natural landscape could be blurred.

EDIBLE VEGETATION GARDEN on the rooftop

Some spaces on the green rooftop should be used for edible vegetation. I created the space for organic food restaurants underneath the undulating surface. The restaurant hopefully would use vegetables, fruits and herbs that the edible garden on the green roof would provide.

SOLAR PLANT In order to replace existing outdoor lightings with sustainable outdoor lightings, I designed a solar-powered outdoor light, which I call Solar Plant. LED is used for the light.

As real leaves of plants are facing the sun, the solar panels of the solar plants are facing south so that they can absorb as much sunlight as possible.

2010 SPRING DESIGN STUDIO SANTA MONICA COLLEGE SITE: 1447 Ocean Ave, Santa Monica, CA 90401 PROGRAM: HOTEL

WAVY HOTEL SANTA MONICA COLLEGE 2010 SPRING DESIGN STUDIO

Connecting the new interior with the surrounding urban context and simultaneously increasing the contrast of opposing elements between the new interior and the existing building create new boundaries with a sense of DISCONTINUOUS CONTINUITY.

DESIGN CONCEPT

DESIGN CONCEPT This hypothetical project is to revitalize an old existing building by transforming it into new hotel. The site is located on Ocean Ave, and has stunning views of Pacific Ocean. My design concept is to connect the new interior with the surrounding urban context and simultaneously increase the contrast of new interior and existing old building to create a new relationship between the hotel and the surrounding environment. PHASE 01: In order to create continuity between the newly renovated interior and the surrounding urban context, I conceived of “WAVE” as one of the important characteristics of LA and the surrounding environment, and applied the element of “WAVE” to the interior design. PHASE 02: I increased the contrast of opposing elements of old/new and straight/curved. Standing out differences between the existing building and the new interior leads to a new relationship between them.

WAVY HOTEL

1447 Ocean Ave, PROJECT SITE 2SITE: Santa Monica, CA 90401

PHASE 03: I believe that combining connection between the new interior and the surrounding environment and the enhanced contrast of opposing elements generates new boundaries between the new interior, the existing building and the surrounding environment. For example, at a glance, visitors would think the old building doesn’t fit the surroundings when they look at the hotel from the outside. But they could feel the connectivity between the new interior, the surroundings and LA once they enter the hotel.

SANTA MONICA COLLEGE 2010 SPRING DESIGN STUDIO

Thus, I created new boundaries between the new interior, the existing building and the surrounding environment, considering urban contexts. The boundaries gives visitors a sense of DISCONTINOUS CONTINUITY.

RESTAURANT LOGO DESIGN

2008 FALL GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDIO SANTA MONICA COLLEGE TYPE: LOGO DESIGN, FLYER DESIGN SIZE:

This project to come up with a name of a hypothetical restaurant and design a logo for the restaurant. I named Japanese-American fusion restaurant “ UKIYO-E WRIGHT.” UKIYO-E is Japanese woodblock prints and was produced between 17th and 20th centuries. Frank Lloyd Wright was well-known as a collector of UKIYO-e. So I combined UKIYO-e and Wright for the name of the Japanese-American fusion restaurant. The Logo for the restaurant is designed based on simple geometries Wright often used in his design.

SLOW FOOD MOVEMENT POSTER DESIGN 2010 SPRING GRAPHIC DESIGN STUDIO SANTA MONICA COLLEGE TYPE: POSTERDESIGN SIZE: 10 1/2 x 161/2 INCHES AWARD: BEST OF SHOW IN THE SANTA MONICA COLLEGE GRAPHIC DESIGN EXHIBIT 2010

This poster aims to promote SLOW FOOD MOVEMENT, which was founded in 1989 to counteract FAST FOOD and FIRST LIFE and make people aware of good food and nutrition. Some people might try to convey how good SLOW FOOD or fresh organic food is for your health through this poster. However, everyone knows the fact.

SANTA MONICA COLLEGE 2010 SPRING DESIGN STUDIO

SLOW FOOD MOVEMENT POSTER

So what I did in this design to propose a method so that people can start “SLOW FOOD” life through this poster. My proposal is to“GROW YOUR OWN FOOD.” To do that, I created a planting calendar that evokes a sunflower (edible plants). In order to convey the idea “GROW YOUR OWN FOOD,” I hand drew some parts of the poster.
