Monte island A Place to Return to the Commons Studio tytle:Joint studio The Culture of Water vol5 with KYOTO Design Lab Kyoto Insitute of Technology(KIT) and Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts(HSLU)
Teacher:Masahiro KInosita,Hiroyuki Kimura(KIT) Lando Rossmaier Mulan Sun(HSLU) Studio Assignment: This is an assignment to consider the commons through "collective ritual" on Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan. As is customary in Japan, we have tried to overcome the forces of nature that cannot be resolved by the commons by praying.In response to the globalscale changes in the natural environment ,What kind of commons are we creating now and what do these commons pray for? What kind of architecture will serve as a receptacle for these prayers? We will explore new ways of thinking about the commons for the coming age by deciphering the relationship between water and people, which is the theme of this studio.

In Lake Biwa, the largest lake in Japan, there is an inhabited island where about 300 people live. Its name is Okishima. The word "monte" means "come back" in the language of Okishima.I design a place where everyone can come back to the life of the commons as their own place. The subject of this project is to preserve the memory of this island in a beautiful way, focusing on the behavior of mourning as collective ritual.

Questionaire heard from islanders
Space to ease the anxiety of islanders and preserve the memory of the island. The islanders have concerns about their old age and after they die. They are worried about what will be left behind after they pass away, or that they will not be able to leave any proof of their lives. For example, the graves they have taken care of and their homes will be left behind in a haphazard manner. In this project, I try to alleviate such fears and think of ways to connect the memory of the islands and leave behind a beautiful legacy .

Relationship between Okisima and main island of Japan It is a 10-minute boat ride from the main island. There are no cars on the island, and islanders get around by bicycle. Stores, hospitals, funeral homes, and large graves are located off the island and are reached by boat. Each family has its own boat, so there is no problem getting to and from the island. However, this situation is creating anxiety in their old age. And in the past, the stone industry was prosperous.

Beatutifully make Space for mourning and preserving What I think the beautifull way to preserve is to return the space to the island while connecting it to the island's history and preserving the memories of the individuals who lived there. By research of island space, I decided to leave it as a personal memory, reconstructing the foundation, existing materials of the house, and tools of daily life. And by using stone walls, a connection to the island is created. The relationship between the personal memories and the island composes a place to think about the island and the individual islanders, and to mourn while they live. 12

Harmony of three ways of assembling stone First, the architectural foundation is left as a vessel for memory. On top of this, a structure with pieces of tools embedded in it, as seen in the levee on Okishima Island, will be constructed using mortar. The lower part of the wall is made of beautifully laid masonry to emphasize the fact that it is built on an island. To express the fact that it is built on Lake Biwa, the wall is completed using the Anou-shu piling method.By using these three construction methods, it symbolizes that it will remain as a memory on an island in Lake Biwa.

Phaze3 The second floor will then be stripped as well, so that the columns and roof can be reused as materials for the island. In addition, stone walls between adjacent houses will be connected.
Phaze4 Ultimately, the stone walls connect to create a landscape of mourning spaces where the islanders' memories are felt.

Kyoto temporary plaza in Kamogawa Studio tytle:KIT x ETH point cloud workshop with KYOTO Design Lab Kyoto Insitute of Technology (KIT) and ETH Zürich (ETH)
Teacher:Masahiro KInosita,Hiroyuki Kimura Chie Konno (KIT) Christophe Girot Matthias Vollmer Dennis Häusler (ETH) ・Project surmary Collaboration with ETH Landscape Laboratory to explore ways to read, update, and sustain the city through research and design using the latest digital technology. As part of the project, Kawayuka - a temporary "floor" along the Kamo River- will be converted to point cloud data. The project will also challenge the design of a new floor based on the point cloud data. The purpose of this project is to acquire technological skills and a new perspective on the city.

Given the theme of reconsidering kawayuka , I decided to reconsider the entire environment that makes them possible. In the historical context, today's kawayuka are designed for high- end use, making it difficult for the general public to use them. Therefore, I designed a place open to the public using the structure of the kawayuka, and came up with the idea of a contemporary festive space.

Rules in the time of Plaza This plaza, created by combining Kawayuka, is composed of rules that are in contrast to the original state. The place to place it is in the middle of the river, and the way to place it is connected by swinging the angle of 45 degrees. The plaza thus created is open to the public and can be used freely as a public theater, for family use, etc. Through the construction of this plaza, it is envisioned that organizations related to the Kamo River and the kawayuka (riverbed) association will establish a relationship and jointly operate the plaza.

Architecture that represents the times This plaza, made possible by simple rules, is supposed to change its shape depending on the situation. By increasing or decreasing the number of Kawayuka, the plaza can become more like a bridge or larger. The expression of each of them may also change as they deteriorate over time. The plaza will take on a form appropriate to the times.

KIT x ETH point cloud workshop International Design studio 2021-2022 In this workshop, we gain the ability to use point cloud data. And I was actively involved as a student leader. I saw the potential of point cloud data in deepening thinking about temporary structure and enhancing the feedback system. These techniques were acquired through lectures in English from ETH teachers. I had a very meaningful time learning new techniques while being felt to a different country's way of thinking.
First,we conducted field survey and 3Dscan

Road as nearest public space Studio tytle:Diploma project in 4th grade of bachelor program at Hosei University
Teacher:Koh Kitayama(Professor) Tetuo Kobori Project Summary The project was the culminating project for Hosei University's graduation. Mr. Kitayama, a professor in my laboratory, taught me to create architecture with thought. The studio began by reading books on a wide range of subjects, not just architecture, and deciding on a theme for the project. I created a suitable site and form through dialogue.
45
46
The site was chosen in Zoshigaya, Tokyo. Adjacent to the metropolis of Ikebukuro, this town is a residential area that retains a strong sense of life, not losing out to the development of the metropolis. The uniqueness of this town comes from the way the streets are used. I will decipher the character of the streets from the traces of daily life, and consider the design that emerges from these traces.
47
Image research in Zoushigaya
Spatial design found in the traces of daily life This town is characterized by many traces of life protruding from the streets. By deciphering these traces of life, I can understand the residents' sense of ownership of the street. By extracting spatial elements from these traces, I thought I could design a space that would truly fit in with the town. Two research were conducted here. The first was to collect 100 traces of daily life and decipher the space through sketches. The second was to walk along the streets and investigate the character of the streets and the sense of ownership of the streets based on the traces of daily life.

Zoushigaya Map of road and ownership found in trace of daily life
This research differentiates roads by their width and examines whether traces of life protrude from them. It was found that the narrower the road, the easier it was to embrace a sense of ownership. However, there were places where the paths were narrower but did not have a sense of ownership. By extracting such roads and designing the boundaries between roads, vacant lots, and buildings, I can consider the road as the closest public space. I would like to reconsider the character of Zoshigaya from the perspective of the streets.
49

51
Design method of assembling spatial elements A sketch-based survey was conducted from traces of life in the city, and spatial elements that create traces were extracted. Taken alone, these elements are nothing more than the scenes of an individual's life, but they are combined to create a small place to live. Such a space will dissolve the closed boundary between the building and the street, and reorganize the street into a public space.
52
spatial elements extracted from many traces of life in road of Zoushigaya

Site1 Narrow garden This road is a cul- de -sac with a narrow road width. On such a road, the residents have a strong sense of ownership of the road and there should be many traces of their daily lives. However, such a scene is not seen on this road. Here, a new relationship was designed by inserting a narrow garden that utilizes the narrowness of the road against the boundary. 55
56
Site2 Common courtyard This road is characterized by empty spaces that are pockmarked like courtyards. It is probably owned by someone, but even the fences that indicate this are u s e d by t h e re s i d e n t s o f t h e neighborhood. It is truly a place filled with Zoshigaya's character. In order to amplify the use of the land, steps and small places to stay are incorporated. 57
58
Site3 Park road This road is unique in that the ground is as if it were a park or garden. From this ground, I got the idea of a park-like place to stay. I designed this road, which is moderately wide and attracts a variety of people, including apartments, as a base for play. This path becomes a small three-dimensional park that seamlessly connects a place to watch and a place to play. 59
60
Site4 Circle place This road enters from a slightly larger street and can be circled. In the space behind it, I sensed the potential for people to gather. Therefore, I designed a small village-like gathering by inserting a small space where people can spend time while encouraging circulation. 61
62
Site5 Urban hiding space This road was very narrow and e x i s t e d a s a s h o p p i n g s t re e t as if it were a single building. However, the number of stores has decreased and each building is now closed. This road is small, but it is a road that gives Zoshigaya depth. This can be read from the darkness of the street that runs through the center of the area and its chaotic atmosphere. I n order to ac c ent u a te suc h darkness, I designed a hideaway that can be used in one's own way by inserting a space of light. 63
64
In this way, Zoshigaya's character may be found in discovering one's own way of using even small places and small elements, and in realizing an intimate relationship with them. By combining small elements of the city and designing small places to stay, the streets become the closest public space for the residents of Zoshigaya.

Project summary This is an issue for the next generation of public libraries. By thinking about public libraries in rural areas, away from the urban areas where we usually think about design, we will develop a perspective to think about libraries in a new way. We want you to read the context of the site and envision the architecture as part of the city. Nagi, the site of the project, is a town with a rich natural landscape that is making efforts in urban development. The key word for the design is "living landscape”.
67
68
Design a librar y that will serve as a community hub in Nagi Town, a town that retains beautiful natural scenery. By including the topography in my design here, I envisioned t he a rc h ite c t u re a s a n environment where the town's residents and visitors can walk through various places and come into contact with books. While using the local mountains as a motif, the architecture, with its various crevices, blurs the boundaries between the inside and outside, creating an environment that is unique to this place. 69

Architectural structure inspired by Mt.Nagi First, rotate the grid so that it faces forward to the circular path. The f loor follows that grid, with each floor level rising by 1000 mm. As each pillar is set at a height of 3000 mm, the rooftop will also be stepped. The roof is then extended from the rooftop to the ground level, blurring the boundary between the interior and exterior. By doing so, I designed a space where people can find their place in the mountain as if they were

Green curtains were hung in the gaps between the roofs to create a sense of being in nature and in the mountains. The semi-outdoor space has a wooden floor to create a unique and dynamic spatial experience that differs from the outside and inside.
