The site is on the riverside of the Tama River where you can see Haneda Airport across the river. The main function of the building is a research laboratory for developing a new medicine. Since the site is visible from the lobby of the airport, it was important for our client to show a beautiful building façade to their partners who just arrived in Japan. Also, to create a good research environment with a view of the Tama River was another main topic of the building design. Each researcher has his or her own desk in both the laboratory and office spaces in this building. From a functional point of view, not only a view of the Tama River but also easy and quick access between labs and offices was important. I developed the schematic diagram; a curvy office layout wraps around the labs to obtain a maximum view of the Tama River while keeping the lab and office organization parallel. Also, I did solar radiation analysis to reduce the summer heat load. It was both important to deal with the view of the river and the amount of heat load the fins could reduce. Through a view to heat load study, we also found that the vertical fins extruded to the riverside have an interesting effect on the interior views. This façade creates a special experience of “HARE & KE” for the people in this building. “HARE & KE” is a traditional Japanese understanding of the world. “HARE” means celebration or the dramatic moment. “KE” means ordinary life. This building has the path of “HARE & KE” with the Tama River. The researchers in this building use the path of “HARE” following the dramatic river view when they start working and use the path of “KE” when they leave the office for restrooms or go back home. I performed more precise studies of the louver shape to reduce the direct sunlight on the desk surfaces. Based on a three dimensional CAD study of sun movement, I figured out that the most effective shape of the fins looks like the sail of a ship. First, we designed the fins with 40 unique shapes, but to make them as low cost as possible, we optimized them into 6 with a Genetic Algorithm. Through a logical method and engineering, those fins became the symbolic identity of the company showing their spirit of inquiry.

- Architecture as a vessel to enjoy the blessings of nature
This project, including three pieces reorganizing the urban fabric, is to revisit parking lot as a cultural charger as well as multi-functional space in Angeleno urban life. Historically, this site is segregated from the surrounding urban fabric, with the railways or significant needs for the tourists’ parking lot. In contrast, Venice Beach has been a center for LA beach culture where a lot of artworks, films, fashions are created. The car culture has been another core of the life in LA. Driving a car to the beach was a prestigious moment for the majority of the people. Thus, this site was continuously suffered from the life aspiration pressure from the downtown LA. While a series of open spaces of different sizes are organized to realize the transition from the metropolitan side to the residential side, in-between parking lots are used as a device to trigger the interaction of different activities happening in those open spaces. This project works as a device to capture the cultural moment that is deeply embedded in the Venice Beach’s urban fabric.

- The west has always been the epicentre of possibility
Kohoku, Yokohama, is a new town developed mainly in the 1980s and 1990s. A Well-designed green network makes this town very comfortable. On the other hand, in 2010, there were 10 big shopping malls in town, all of them “box type” malls; very closed to the outside to achieve a good financial return by seizing shopping activities only in one building. The green network and the malls make every part of this town very clean so we can’t see its dark side. Places for leisure activities are also very limited. Fixed on this path, this town will probably soon start to decline. Most cities prosperous for a long time have both light sides and dark sides. So I decided to design a project which will ensure a more balanced economic condition. I designed a new downtown in the suburb, a complex of downtown shops and houses for the living. The basic structure of the planning grid follows the axis of the elevated tracks running thorough the center of the town. Since the site is placed between walking path and roadway, the scale of the buildings becomes bigger from the east part to the west. All the buildings are provided both thick walls with high heat capacity and thin walls with low heat capacity. These two walls make different types of overlapping in each building: double skins. By using this, “double skin type”, I created a new relationship between shops and houses. They share the double skins through the windows so they can choose whether they connect or not. When the thick wall is faced to the outside, there will be a closed relationship. When the thin wall is faced to the outside, there will be a clear relationship. All these double skin spaces are public spaces connected to the ground so people and cars can go through it from one space to the other. The double skins are virtual extensions of the programs inside. When people enjoy this city, they can choose just doing window shopping or go further inside. People living here can also enjoy the displays of the clothing shops, the smell of the restaurants, and lights of the game centers. This way of creating close relationships between people, cars, shops and houses through double skins is a strong medium for creating new commercial and residential activities in a suburb. Moreover, such projects, aiming at creating a good economic balance within the city are needed in many suburban areas in Japan.

My internship at MAD architects in 2011 in Beijing was a big challenge. I only learned architecture at Tokyo University until then, so I had a certain anxiousness that this had limited my architecture horizon. To expand my view, I decided to go to a Chinese firm, MAD Architects, famous for their curvy architecture geometry. This seemed to be the farthest from Japanese architecture culture. I realized after that their design principle is based on Chinese art culture that appreciates nature. Qingdao is a city located on the east coast of China. The client wanted us to develop a group of luxury houses, each over 2000m2. The site was first developed as a government facility. Even after the buildings were demolished, a variety of trees remained, such as lines of pine trees or a forest of zelkova trees. We focused on these original natural resources on the site and tried to create special spaces to enjoy them. The vision of the project is based on an old Chinese poem by Liu Zongyuan about a quiet spring in the mountain. The poem includes a detailed illustration of the sound of water or the light reflection on rocks. The project concept is to use a natural vocabulary of forms, such as rocks, fogs, bubbles, and caves, to create the essence of the scenery illustrated in the poem. I was in charge of two projects: “Fog” and “Bubbles”. I worked on the “Fog” project first with a logical approach as I did in Tokyo University, but it didn’t work well. Nobody was interested in the renderings on my screen. To overcome the situation, I studied traditional Chinese art and analyzed reference projects that have strong spaces toward nature. From this research, I could design some nice spaces, but it was apparently behind the level of the rest. In the second project “Bubbles”, I took a different approach. I made as many renderings as I could to relate to the “Bubbles” vocabulary. After making over 100 renderings, some images formed a vision of the project and caught the attention of my colleagues and the firm principles. Through these experiences, I adapted my design attitude molded from my architecture education at the University of Tokyo

- Surrounded by all the elements of nature, with architecture embedded
When you read architecture magazines, you often see elegant wind flow lines on the projects’ section drawings. Usually, these lines only help justify the geometries. However, I think they have the potential to give new inspiration to architecture. I wanted to publish a book that inspires more architects to think about wind as an inspiration to form architecture geometries. This book is a final production of DIEP, published by the biggest Japanese architecture publishing company, ShinKenchiku. We did CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics) wind analysis inside 10 houses by Le Corbusier. We demonstrated over 30 simulations for each house, in total 300 simulations thanks to the recent CFD software development. The wide variety of architectural vocabulary in Le Corbusier’s work enables us not only to acquire diverse knowledge of indoor wind movement but also attract people’s attention. Fortunately, this book received a lot of responses from the architecture society in Japan. The book starts with a summary of the basic wind physics essential to understanding wind analysis. The following Le Corbusier house simulations clearly show he valued how wind works to enrich the inhabitant’s life. Interestingly, the latest technology supports a statement he made about 100 years ago, that he is conscious of a site’s climate or natural resources. We added further analysis imagining transformations in Le Corbusier’s houses, such as moving furniture or making new voids in the slab, to acquire more knowledge on wind movement rules. Based on the result, we proposed several renovation projects in Tokyo of similar scale to Le Corbusier’s works. We believe this book shifts the architects’ focus to thinking about wind for a better environment inside buildings.

Academic Qualifications Sustainable architecture, which enables people to enjoy life richly with a minimum amount of energy, needs to become standard all over the world in response to the limited resources on earth. Although there are practices concerned with creating a smaller footprint, it seems that the architecture society has not yet found a clear vision for sustainable buildings. I have been searching for this vision since I started studying architecture at the University of Tokyo, and practicing architecture at MAD Architects, Takenaka Corporation and Harvard GSD. New inspirations create new architecture, just as Deconstructivism and computer processing did. I believe that the approach of low-energy, or sustainable design, has not yet created new value in architecture. I also believe that bringing this inspiration to attractive architecture for more people around the world would make it possible for comfortable, low energy building to become a world standard.
