1. AS STRANGE AS REALITY Studio Work / Program: House / Instructor: Kumiko Inui, Kazuyasu Kouchi / 2015 Summer Studio Description
Concept
In this studio, students designed a house, in a wooden structure using typical
Mark Twain said, “Truth is stranger than fiction”. However, architecture can be as
Japanese 900mm grid. The site is Zousigaya one of the most condensed housing

areas of Tokyo.
a usual entrance door would connect street and outside.(fig.1-2,3 next page) Myths of “My Home” This house faces to new housing area which comprises of typical Japanese commercial houses. These houses represent solid ideology- “My Home”; which connects to the economic system each family buys a house with a loan. It poses father to work a steady job to pay for it. It seems odd that these houses are very similar although they stand independently and holds different families. Also, their composition is strange. They usually have a brick-wall-like facade, for example, and it is fake. And however strange the reality seems, I want to bring it in first (fig.1-1).

Emptiness to respond the myths of “my home”, and to intervene problematic old wooden-condensed area.
Open to Old Wooden and Condensed Housing Area This house also touches to one of the “wooden-condensed housing areas” which have many problems; being burnable and fragile(1), poor emergency routes(2), difficulties on radical reforms of areas(3). To intervene these problems, this house provides a void in the back connecting to the narrow emergency passages of the wooden condensed area. Consequently, this house holds empty space just behind the normal facade of commercial housing.

2. CRACKING SKIN Studio Work / Housing Complex / Instructor : Tom Heneghan / 2015 Winter
Studio Description In this studio, students designed housings and one more program to the site. The site is next to the park.
Concept and Reference As the “Night Hawks� captured, there are indifference and deep isolation in an urban city. I got a similar impression to this painting from the site: Kanda which is near the center of Tokyo. In this area, middle size buildings stand independently and closely. And the skins of these buildings separate each space indifferently. As Aldo Van Eyck pointed out, free-standing buildings which modern architects had promoted create a static relation between inside and outside. And it is the skin that defines frozen rel+ations between spaces. However, I found readability in the gap between buildings. Skins confront each other and create space, however, there is no function exists. By modifying and dividing skin, we may find possibilities to make the various relationship between a building and a city. fig.2-3 Initial Idea Sketch Page - 8
Composition and Program Two volumes surrounded by skins are used as housing and SOHO. And the gap has sequential slopes which are used as a bookshop, private library, and cultural theater. Residents present their books toward the gap. Two volumes are constructed by the thin facade, pillar, and shelves. The facade continuously enveloped the space, and contrast the gap which has no skin. Shelves as fragile walls allow residents to change their relations among home, office, and the gap. Slabs and slope can afford several activities, such as sitting on slabs. Pillars breakthrough skin, and make further spaces which are used as bookshop and theater.

We developed design through conferences. In the conferences, students and teachers discussed about the costs, the design, and use of the space.
Design team was also responsible for the construction. We listened to the advise of specialists, visited the garvanaizing factory, and drew detailed design.
I also worked with students of the department of design to make signs and lamps. This sign is made from magnet shee t , and the lamp has magne tic joint, so they can be hanged any surfaces of this gallery.

4. DIFFICULT TWO Studio Work / Program: Elementary School / Instructor Makoto Yokomizo / 2016 Spring Studio Description In this studeio, students designed elementary school at cultural and educational district in Tokyo. Instructors refers to the argument of classrooms and open space. Then, we researched two schools: the former school was designed to enrich the classroom, and the later was designed to make openspace in front of classrooms.
Concept and Reference This project tackles with the contradiction between continuity and division. From the attitude towards the city to the education programs, this contradiction always exists. On the one hand, a public school should open to the city. Also, a learning process which promotes trial of students rather than discipline is getting more attention because the society is getting more dynamic and changeable. On the other hand, security is now strongly required to elementary schools. Also, there should be closed environments and programs so that students can concentrate on. These reasonable but contradicted opinions remind me of the “Ospedali deli Innocenti” by Filippo Brunelleschi which have beautiful loggia which intermediates the orphans’ home and public plaza physically and narratively. Therefore, I try to put this two ideology: continuity and division into one school.+ fig.2-2 Physical Model Scale-1/180

fig.2-6 Initial Sketch of the slope The slope connects the commercial area and housing area, and at the same time, it cuts the volume of the school into two. South volume develops to have normal classrooms by repeating walls, and right North develops to allow various types of educational programs by slabs. While keeping South volume from secure, North Volume can open right volume to the city.

TOUCH INSIDE THE CITY Studio / One Minute Movie / Instructor; Tom Heneghan / Link : https://youtu.be/HzHk0fYunLI This short movie illustrate the materiality and composition of the emergency stairs, gap between buildings, pipes, and roof top. The bedroom, has its window framing the outside. Emergency stairs, has its pipes which cut the view into stripes. The roughness and complex texture of the infrastructure, gives new meaning of the mundane objects such as a bed sheet. As "Aeolian Harp" composed by Henry Cowell, used both the keyboard of the piano and strings inside the piano.

It is a scene that I encountered near the site. “Male and female speaking voice in an emergency staircase, attitude is also collapsing. When coming to another day, a man ran down the stairs, bought a hamburger, came back and was changing to a scene that two people eat.” It turned out here that attitudes and relationships that are not shown in
fig.6-1 Rear Window
the workplace are appearing, that the behavior of relaxation and eating, which is the basis of daily life, is born. I call it a “urban room” in which People bring chairs and planting and complemented the inner space voluntarily (1), people pay attention to scope area such as observer, as myself, who was in a position visible from the stairs (2) people can easily access to commercial services such as McDonald’s In these three criteria, I found other rooms and made an axonometric drawing. In addition, I plot the convenience store and

Process of Integration I worked with students who had done different approach; student-A design volume of the building, student-B researched composition of boundaries. Student-A studied building volumes which creates continuity from an intersection of the main road to back roads. Student-B had researched 3-dimensional patterns which indicates the composition of boundaries. Her research creates a complicated attitude to a specific approach from town. My research was applied to reconstruct hierarchy of volume study(Fig.6-10,11)to create subsequence which narratively connects residences and workers to the urban city. Each “rooms� follows construction system which team member had researched.(Fig.6-12-16)

Researching History I researched Azabu Area to found a little water veins, which originates from "Frog Pond ( Gama-Ike in Japanese)" and joins to large river near Azabu Station. This vein flows through the
cup of water from the Pond once a year.

8. Exhibition "ku-kan" Waste In my sophomore year, I launched a monthly free paper, “Ku-kan (Space)”, which carried architecture students’ essays and discussions. As the editor and publisher, I organized fora and exhibitions to expand the discussion by inviting guest critics from other universities. In our first exbition "kukan" wooden panels which have been drafting table in our department as a main material to createexbition space.
"ku-kan" Construction Site In the second one, we use single pipes in order to synclonize the construction site of Tapered Gallery (page.16 ). The subjects of discussion spanned from a student’s work to much wider multi-faceted issues such as establishment of the New National Stadium for the Tokyo Olympic Games 2020. These experiences taught me how to organize a

team of people with different backgrounds and how to rescue mutual criticism from mudslinging and to turn it into a chance of crossbreeding.
Exhibition of Chairs This is the exhbition of the consequence of the studio of making chairs from arcana card. I desined caption and scheme of the exhibition. The size of the caption is the same as a timber that each students use to make a chair.

9. Works in 1/1 Scale TRIANGELS AND PIPES (Studio work/Mentor: Mitsuhiro Kanada/ 2015) This sculpture comprised of tetrahedron unit. And each group is made from several triangle panels and joint. Triangle panel is made from plywood which thickness is varied from bottom to top. Joints are made from acrylic and copper tube. Each unit was fabricated by a laser cutter.
CHAIR BY WINDOW (Studio work/Mentor: Hideyuki Nakayama/ 2014) In this studio, students desined a chair using talot card as a referemce. And we crafted a chair from a timber. we also conducted several workshops using wood: a bed in a specific location, as my own work. The consequence was exhibited (page-25).
SIGHTS AROUND THE
BOTTLE
( Competition/ Team Member: Hayato Katsura/Spring 2017) This is a proposition for a limited edition of a perfume bottle. We designed the pattern of the bottle by using visual programming: “grasshopper”. As the location of the eye changes, the patterns on the bottle also changes in 3D models so that the logo appears. Our proposition can prepare a lot of patterns, and fit to the sense of “limitation”(Fig.9-8). If he took this bottle in his hands for the first time, he wouldn’t even imagine there would be a hidden message on the object right in front of him. He takes the box. He sees slanted dots and scattered stripes covering all over. He takes out the bottle from the box. The same design appears on the surfaces of the bottle. The bottle is made of glass. He sees another pattern beyond one pattern, and patterns overlap in different ways to create another pattern. Then he realizes. When he looks at the bottle from the right viewpoint, independent patterns

become a unified design to bring out the “H” of Hermes right in front of him. By then, strange dots will look like a perfect circle. Scattered stripes will look like a constant width line. Dots will make an H from one viewpoint and stripes will make an H from another viewpoint. As
