Church
The church located at the rooftop, whose look changes greatly in summer and winter, provide a sacred space and symbolizes the hotel.
Tea Rooms
Japanese triangle-shaped roofs covering the hotel control the amount of sunlight and create a space of soothing calm in the roof space. The thin wooden columns which blend in with an around bamboo forest make the piloti-space sublime. Tearooms located in these two introspective spaces stimulate visitor’ s inspiration.
Norway has much fewer hours of sunlight in winter, thus the exterior spaces to get a goo dose of sunlight are put in the units. Moreover, Brise-soleil extends by 5 meters according to low sun elevation. Restaurant Library Galleries

By the clean water system installed in the piloti, the water falling down the cliff is used as drinking water and the leftover flows into the lake.
Because the hotel is located in untouched rainforest, it is impossible to come by land. Thus the heliport placed at the rooftop functions as the main access.

LIFETIME STUDY CENTRE Diploma Design instructor: Kengo KUMA March 2012 Winning the second prize at “ Diploma Design Competition” of the University of 11 Tokyo
Bricolage City This project experiments with the new architectural method in the city, Roppongi. Cities are something without integrity or something fragmented any more. In short, you could say that cities have become a sort of "the Second Nature". Most land developers, however, ignore this situation, or they are unaware of it. So, I would like to propose the alternative way of development and design the new type of lifetime study centre for city people who have to survive in the chaos of the cities. Bricolage, The keyword of this project. Bricolage incorporates several terms for making things through improvisation; DIY, tinkering, repair or making do and getting by. It is about the freedom afford by constraints. Imagination and invention are born of bricolage which is as much about a way of making things, as it is a general attitude towards knowledge and experience. Let us move to cities or the relationship between city and architecture. We, city people cannot perceive the integrity of cities, but experience fragments of them. So, we unconsciously assemble those fragments and form each person's city experience. This is truly a kind of bricolage. This project also aims to assemble fragments of city and rebuild them from the architectural perspective. Beyond that horizon, we'll find the city autonomous system behind the chaos.

- Roppongi -
The site is located in Roppongi, Tokyo. Roppongi has grown around the skyscraper complexes, like the Roppongi Hills and the Tokyo Midtown, and is still being redeveloped. So there are many vacant lots which will be developed in the near future. The site is also a cluster of them.

FIELDWORKER 5 fieldworkers gather pieces of the city and make the typology of the city elements
This project was prepared by 19 bricoleurs, which means persons who create bricolage. They are divided into three groups, fieldworkers, shokunins, and draftsmen. They engaged in the project discontinuously and independently, but also with a strong association. They decide on the design through enthusiastic argument, numerous drawings and models. They works through the non-linear and connotative process. Their simultaneous activities eventually led to the urban and architectural bricolage.
SHOKUNIN
11 Shokunin, which means craftmen, creates the objects by refering the typology and according to the characteristics of the site.
In fact, I, Keisuke Ota, was also one of them, just took on the leading role. In this lifetime study centre, people can relive the city experience.
DRAFTSMAN
3 draftsmen assign proper architectural functions to the objects.
This building is still incomplete, and has the possibility to keep expanding. People activities contribute largely to establishment of environment, and building will expand with no well-defined center, then cause innumerable variations and organizations of space. Thus the bottom-up network will be formed, and it will change continuously and permanently. As bricoleurs create bricolage, users will customize their places at will.

CONVERSION OF HISTORICAL HERITAGE Joint Exercise of Architectural Design with Waseda University instructor: Kengo KUMA November 2010 Winning the first prize 19
zero structure Komazawa Water Tower, twin towers which have a long history and many memories have symbolized the city, Setagaya in Tokyo. This project aims to resolve them into mere objects and to make apparent their strength as pure space by striping the function and hollowing out them. Not to prolong their life by adding new function, nor to demolish and kill them. I arranged radial and toric roads around the hollow towers and placed voids and boxes, and intended to create the node of the traffic network and the vessel to accept various activities. The voids and boxes respond flexibly to activities. Sometimes they function as theatres, sometimes a sort of galleries, and so on. The water towers change from zero that cannot be broached to zero which accepts various things, and would unveil the hidden city structure.
The water towers are located in Setagaya, Tokyo. They had functioned as urban infrastructure, but about 100 years ago their role as water towers was finished. Since then their surrounding area has been off-limits. We can say that the site means not only a huge clear space, but also a long gap of time.

LITTLE LIBRARY Design Studio Competition instructor: Yoshiyuki KAWAZOE July 2012

Liverary Distance between architecture and city and people. The site is located at a quiet residential area in Tokyo.　There are no public spaces, even small parks in this area, and every place looks just like every other place. So senses of distance of people are standardized, and the individualities are lost. What is the best relation between them? What is the most beautiful distance between them?
people - people I designed a library composed of books which people around the area have brought. I aims to create a new type of place for relaxation and to make friends.
28
architecture - city they often stay well away from each other. I sought the best relation between them. The site is surrounded by various roads. So I pulled them in and derived a triangular form. By put three boxes on the triangle, I created a space in a multilayered way.
SITE
architecture - people The building is made of two different materials, reinforced concrete and steel plates. They have different senses of distance. People feel various senses of distance and earn each place to stay. As the book cabinets made of steel plates become filled with books, the sense of distance change with every moment.

Learning the City The site in Ginza (Tokyo) has too many characteristic parts to apply a certain form. The patterns of children’ s behavior are connected with 13 characteristic parts of the site, and these various connections compose this building. The elementary school derived directly from the context of the city and the site will become the best place for children who have to survive in the big city to study and learn.

CITY HOUSE Jacs Competition (Residential Design) May 2011

N-House Nowadays architecture has become a sort of tools to use natural environments to our advantage. With that in mind, this project aims to create a house adaptable to surrounding natural environments and to show coexistence of architecture and nature. This is the house of family of four, and situated in Tokyo. I lifted skin of the house, and dug in the ground. By doing this, the wind blows between the two and the sunlight gets into the room with a depth, and then the interior environment becomes diverse and enriched. Every rooms are placed in the house according to the diversity. Depending on the situation, people voluntarily find their place to stay in this living space, feeling wind, sunlight, and the environment around them.

WORKSHOP t-sa forum instructor: Takero Shimazaki Architecture September 2012 41
context & craft Architectural design can be a long and complex process. From project inception, through design process, construction and onto building occupation, our involvement in the projects does not really stop, and continues throughout the lives of the buildings in use. Architecture is of course not just a paper exercise and there is a long design and construction process before user occupation. In the process of architectural design and construction, there are many ‘ingredients’ outside of architectural concepts and technical issues that would influence the course of the design and the finished building. These may include, client brief, construction budget, site constraints, site investigations and discoveries, context, the economic or political climate and statutory regulations. Through the experience of my practice, I find one of our main challenges during this process is how to retain and realise each architectural aim or vision throughout this long and complex process. We know that the constraints change constantly during the design process influenced by the various ingredients including some of those above. We should be conscious of striving to arrive at an architectural design methodology or a principle that would cope well with these influences. We do this by being inclusive of these ‘ingredients’ , rather than to conflict with them in order to arrive at the architectural aims. The architecture is enriched if the principle accommodates and absorbs these ingredients. In this workshop, we pursued the relationship between architecture and context and developed our thinking through “craft” . Through working by hand, we was often reminded of something we had not noticed. The area around the Elephant and Castle station in London was designated as the site. There are many different types of building, activity, and people, which means the area has not only colorful context but also various problems. The area is also being redeveloped in recent years.
42
1st week In the first week, we perused the site carefully, and by expressing the context of the site through craft, we discovered new problems. Moreover, we learned about unfamiliar techniques of craft, including printing, engraving, and so on ,and created images of architectural compositions.
43
2nd week We explored the problems of the Elephant and Castle. I focused on the difference between the chaos around the roundabout and the emptiness in the centre of the roundabout, then expressed the furture possibility of the centre through the drawings. I also create some drawings and models to express the variation and sequence of activities around the roundabout, and then sought a connection between around and the centre of the roundabout.
44
3rd week In the third week, we were required to produce final works that summrises our proposals. I created two drawings and two models. My propsal aims to provide a kind of junction of activities in the centre of the roundabout. I thought that many different activities around Elephant and Castle should have a relationship with each other, but if we try to combine them too strongly ,we’ ll end up ignoring their identities. So I defined the centre of the roundabout as the place of collision and integration.
