BACKGROUND
Tokyo has few places where can become solitary. Society recognized to be good to take communication. I can also regard construction as generating communication having been called for. It came to be performed even when it was virtual, since he met a friend, it talked and it came to have had a mobile phone, when he went to school. It also likes me. However, it is tired with being in the state all the time truly. Solitary time is released from the noise from the surroundings from lonesomeness, and strengthens joy to being connected like charge of the heart given by facing self. It is the communication which does not take communication. I would like to propose the space which gets used to one person quietly in Tokyo.

SITE ANALYSIS high density city Akihabara
A department store is arranged at the edge in Akihabara.
A site is located at the end in Akihabara. A large number the store of OTAKU culture while it is an electronics quarter. Moreover, races various in a huge business district are gatherings. It is also a nodal point of traffic and the station is used for 220,000 people every day. It is always overflowing with people.
Akihabara is the city became full with people and things.
Construction was built to the limit of plottage, facade is covered by the huge signboard, and sliver buildings which do not have a window, either stand in a row in the town. Here, it passes over construction only in the box for selling a thing. People do not even do stopping a leg to the target store and carrying out slowly from a station, but walk. slowly time is not given, looking at a town or people that walk to us. The city which does not get used to one person.

LIFE IN THE WIND TOWER
A wind is passed in a high-density town. SITE
This is Nakano-ku, Tokyo. The residential section of a low layer spreads. Therefore, the wind from the sky falls even to a ground level easily. The ground of a flagstaff site is the ground. Since temperature is low compared with asphalt, a wind may fall by a difference in temperature. If the cavity is continuing even if it is high dense and the residence adjoins, the way from which a wind escapes will be made and a wind will blow there.
47
Catch a wind. Pass to housing. CONCEPT
I build the environmental tower and condominiam in the timbered house high density area. This area does not blow wind because densely housing builtup area.a wind flows into the whole block by builting the environmental tower and condominiam.The site is Nakano-ku, Tokyo. As for this place that hits a timbered house high density area, the residence of ten houses and one apartment exist in the present flagstaff site. Between each housing becomes independent, since the distance between housing is not enough, a wind does not pass, but it is hard to really say that it is comfortable. The tower and condomiam which consist of zigzag housings is proposed.

Curve partition wall FORM OF TOWER
The partition wall which had an curve in order to open greatly to the upper part in order to take in a wind from a top, and to build the patency of the first floor. If this form is built in a tower, the difference of positive pressure and negative pressure will be born to the inside of a tower.

Learning from vernacular at Iran Yazd. FORM OF REFERENCE
The partition entered in the shape of cross into the tower at Iran Yazd's one, and it has played the role from which a wind is dropped downward. And water was stuck on earth surface, the courtyard was prepared, and the wind is extracted. At the flagstaff site of a timbered house high density area, since neither water nor a big courtyard can be prepared, a simulation is performed for the partition from which a wind is dropped on the form of a tower to the ground, and a form is determine.
Form simulation  FORM OF REFERENCE
Ilan Yazd' partition
Extend partition
A partition gets down from a ceiling to near the second floor. Although a wind enters, a wind does not enter to the first floor.
A partition gets down to the ground. It becomes the space closed although the wind entered to the first floor.
Extend and Curve partition
The partition of the shape of a character of V with the curve which abolishes close nature. Close nature was lost while the wind entered to the first floor.

The domain where people work overlaps with the flow of the wind which is made into one-room space and crossed by tying while making three space lie in a zigzag line.

LIFE IN THE WIND TOWER
PROGRAM
Passage network which connects four towers
Dwelling unit arrangement
Four towers and the passage which connects it are opened as a public space. Those who live in the existing residence of a block also eat boiled rice using here, or it participates in an event.
The dwelling unit group is arranged so that two towers may adjoin one dwelling. Even if a wind blows from which direction by this A wind opposite to a wind certainly flows into a dwelling unit. A dwelling unit builds one one-room space, though it moves in a zigzag direction and space is articulated.
Courtyard between dwelling units Although the dwelling unit by which the wall of a both-sides side faces the next dwelling unit will be made as a result of dwelling unit arrangement, light is taken in in a dwelling unit by preparing a courtyard there, and people can be made to come also outside.

Praise for mother earth Church This site was a cape 2000 years ago. And there is in
front of sea. Predecessors built the ancient tomb here, deified the dead, and were taken as the sacred ground. A cape is not completed by itself, and the process of the space which arrives there completes it. The site was divided by the highway. By one more time building the cape,people make it remember that here was a cape once.

The kindergarten wrapped in the park
A park surrounds building of the kindergarten , building of the kindergarten becomes existence like the arbor which floats in the park and is wrapped in abundant environment. Existing trees are saved and the building layout planning considered as affording to have harmonized with surrounding environment.Building of kindergarten is united with the landscape.

The abundant flow lines which induce communication.
The internal flow line, the stairs, and the slope which connect two gardens are richly established in the common space of the center of a kindergarten building, and the excursion nature of the whole kindergarten building is increased. Exchange beyond children's age is attained by arranging the picturebook space using a large landing.
