[Roof Elements] YOGOGI NATIONAL GYMNASIUM, TOKYO
The preliminary research will be focussed on the articulation of a ceiling element, a ‘soffitto’. Ceilings are the most primitive of architectural intervantions, yet often employed as a primary vehicle for the articulation of space and function. A ceiling, and by association of a roof, from the primitive shelter to the contemporary envelop, has collected together an extended range of task; structure, enclosure/light, ventilation, shelter, shading, energy generation, acoustics, to mention some. The studio analyse and explore the architectural element to find a new expressive ways of making space. Through a rigorous examination of the technological aspects, we will make propositions for articulating the designs by the study of components and connections, expressing the architectonic, within a context of exploiting precedent.
