Year 2, Sem.1 / 2015 April-May / Instructor: Assoc. Prof. Kumiko Inui , Mr. Kazuyasu Kouchi
This is a proposal for a house, questioning the actual meaning of usual elements of housings. This building has its facade only in front of the building, as if it is saying that the house is rather fictional thing: a similar attitude with 1920's "Kanaban Kenchiku" (means "Signbord Architecture")(Fig.1-1). The composition is also responding to site condition; the front area is a new-housing area which comprises of pre-fabricated housings, and the back area is a “Condensed Area of Old Wooden Housing". A trimmed
Ostranenie
piece of a house creates a wired vacant space, contineuing to a semi-public space with a piano facing to the intersection of narrow paths which is an emergency route for the old housing area Usual elements of housing are treated in contradicting way in this house. The endtrance door lose its usual meaning: it just divide outside and outside. The basement of the house, the main story and the roof structure connect each other by small void. A circle table is divided by glasses into two pieces; one is inside dinner, another is outside feeding space for birds. The stairs go up around a chimney and some of them stretch to be a toilet space or balcony for laundry...

Year 2, Sem.2 / 2015 Oct.-Dec. / Instructor : Prof. Tom Heneghan
This is a proposal of a housing complex, aiming to find a new meaning in "in-between" spaces of buildings (Fig 2-1), in the central area of Tokyo where mid-tall buildings stand shoulder to shoulder creating a lot of gaps.
In-between
Two volumes of housings are covered by two continuous envelopes (Fig. 2-2), which only open to inbetween space. A spiral slope sawing two volumes together, offering a rich approach to each housing. This in-between space works as a semi-public library of the residences. The space in between the ground and the envelope works as a bookshop, and the space in between the sky and the envelope works as a theater. These three in-between spaces are connecting together to create a trajectory of public spaces connecting to an existing public bath and a park. Fig. 1-2

This is a masterplan around Kiyosumi Garden, aiming to renovate the relationship between the Garden and the city. Five sites are designed by a gradual process which is represented by three models for each site. In some area, city elements are expanding to the garden, while in other areas, the environment from a garden expanding to the city. The programs of new buildings are reflecting

pond and the Sumida River using existing pumps for floods. Site Analysis: In 1900, Koutou Delta has a lot of canals, and Kiyosumi Garden was continuing from 2000
the ocean. By 2000, the delta has sunk down under the level of the sea, because of the rough development. Consequently, Pumping Station and Water Gate were installed to isolate the inner canals from the sea. The earthquake in 1922 caused a serious flood, and the only West-half of the

This is a measurement project of Tennouji-temple, an old temple near the University. I was in charge of a sectional drawing, so I measured interior elevation and roof structures. Constructed out of wood planks, the structure uses posts and lintels to support a gently curved roof.

In Tokyo University of the Arts, students stayed “Antique Art Research Facilities” (Nara, Japan) for two weeks to visit traditional architectures in the western part of Japan. As a spontaneous trip, I personally visited Kyoto and Nara several times a year to learn Japanese traditional architecture which has become a great source of my inspiration. I also visited Athena, Roma, Firenze, Milan to learn western architectural history.

This is a real construction studio done by 15 students. This shell is geometrically comprised of three different HPs. I was responsible for modeling using grasshopper. We discussed the form based on my parametrical model. We also checked the strength of concrete to make it as thin as possible. Consequently, one continuous concrete creates three comfortable spaces.

This is a project to design a restaurant and a bar next to the Mekong River. The site is located at District 2, Ho Chi Mihn City. I joined this project from the concept phase to the concrete design phase. The roofs coming from two sides of the site creating a valley. This shape reflects old terrain and responds to existing palm trees at the center. After the "Mekong River Research", we referred to the fish pen and made corridor frames on the two sides.

“Mekong River Research” is a joint research project of Nishizawa Architects and Kawai Studio in Shiga Univ. We have researched water housing on and around the Mekong River and will design a housing complex based on the research. In this field research, I encountered the construction site of a huge fish pen below their house and realized water can be a metaphor of “empty space”.

Overview
Hidetoshi Tominaga / 2019 Jan. 15
TWO INTERESTS A. Secondary Space I have always been fascinated by the secondary spaces in and around the buildings, like gaps between buildings, pipe shafts, and emergency stairs. My design research “Urban Rooms”, reconstructed the hierarchy between the Servant and the Served space, based on the actual activities observed in secondary spaces around the site. “Touch the Infrastructure” explored the textures of the secondary spaces and summarized them in a film. B. Boundary My previous academic work centered around boundaries between land and water. In “Hidden Waterflow” I defined the perimeter between the land on which mundane lives go on, and the water flow which is hidden but historical. In “Around Watergarden", I redrew the perimeter between the city and the water garden. My internship projects “Riverside Restaurant” and “Mekong River Research” were of waterfront development. While conducting the projects, I came across a huge fish pen that sank into the Mekong, and I realized water had been a metaphor of unperceived space for me, and determined to expand this study to general architecture issues. TWO APPROACHES A. Narrative Approach I attach high importance to the narrative in designing architecture. Constructing a story from an actual city is thrilling. I designed “Urban Room” and “Slope in School” with dramatic relationship citing from films. In “Ostranenie”, I use literature technique to modify common elements of a house. At Nishizawa Architects, I wrote project descriptions in critical and poetical attitude, trying to define a new typology of tropical architecture in cooperation with an urbanist, Ms. Myriem Alnet. B. Physical Prototyping Physical prototyping extracts materiality from physical models and realizes it in the complexity of the architecture. Since my childhood when I played with my grandfather, who was a carpenter, I have always valued making something real and tangible. Digital fabrication skills have allowed me to make organized process models, which I used in “Around Watergarden”, and to deal with more complex material including cloth. “Tapered Gallery,” which is, fortunately, a realized project and still remains in my alma mater, taught me the complexity of real construction and materiality.
