DNP PAVILION: 1.2mm Wood The DNP pavilion was designed for the "Creative Life Exhibition" by members of the Kengo Kuma laboratory in collaboration with Dai Nippon Printing Company, who have the largest market share in printing in Japan. Very thin steel plates with wood pattern prints, each with dimensions of 900mm by 360mm, were bent into an arc shape. The plates were stacked up to 2.5m at the highest, with a simple joint system using 2mm wide slits. The pavilion combines the two opposing concepts of the steel's rigidity and the wood pattern's realistic softness, demonstrating various expressions to the viewer. The material produces a certain warm feeling despite its thinness and hardness. It aims to create an entirely new materiality, redefining the characteristics of "wood", and reuniting it with human activities.

STEEL PRINTING & STACKING STRUCTURE The metal sheets, uniform in size and form, support each other using only slits. The dimensions of each slit, 90mm deep and 2mm wide, were determined by a series of structural tests. Every piece is supported by 3 pieces in the lower layer, which was made possible by curving them into an arc. The pavilion is composed of a single material, DNP's "Ellio" steel sheets, typically used for doors, walls and other interior surfaces. These Ellio sheets have a thickness of only 1.2mm, and using DNP's special technique to print directly onto metal surfaces, they are available in a variety of realistic wood patterns and colours.
Layered composition of steel sheets
For this project 4 wood patterns were selected, and distributed randomly in the composition. The reverse side of each plate was painted white, creating an exterior "wood" facade and an interior white wall as a result.

02: {Porosity: People, Light, Air & Water} KENGO KUMA LAB. DESIGN PROJECT August-December 2014 Principal architect: Kengo Kuma Structural engineer: Jun Sato Team: Ko Nakamura, Toshiki Hirano, Keisuke Akiyama, Ikumi Kawashima Programme: Mobile food truck Site: Commune 246, Aoyama, Tokyo Scope: Design development, 3D modelling, CAD drawing, Construction
SITE: Commune 246
POROSITY: People, Light, Air & Water
The site is a narrow, open space in a very central area in Tokyo where commercial and residential districts meet. After an old commercial building was demolished, the unused site owned by the Urban Renaissance Agency (UR) has been converted to a community gathering area, "Commune 246", for a limited time of 2 years. The project consists of mobile food trucks, cafés, a shared office, an airdomed event area and a community learning space.
The food truck for Breton, a yakitori (Japanese skewer grilled chicken) stall, was designed by members of the Kuma laboratory. The name "Porosity" refers to the various ways in which the truck is able to interact with its surroundings. Through the openings in the front and the side, the savoury smell of the grilled skewers and a refreshing aroma are diffused. Natural light seeps through the hole, or top light, illuminating the curving ceiling softly and giving the interior space a sense of depth. The countless pores in the pumice stones on the exterior surface absorb water and release heat through vaporisation in the summer, as well as acting as an insulator in the winter.
7 mobile food trucks were designed by laboratory members of the Graduate School of Architecture at the University of Tokyo. As all the trucks are mobile, they are not restricted by any building codes, making them architecturally and structurally unique and innovative.

SHELL STRUCTURE The food truck is able to stand without the use of any sort of framework, being composed solely of plywood surfaces. Each surface has a thickness of 18mm for structural stability. The curved surfaces were formed with a special plywood which is flexible due to its wooden fibres being layered in one direction.
POROUS FACADE The exterior surface was covered entirely by fibre reinforced-plastic (FRP) for structural strength and water resistance. Natural pumice stones were hand-laid on top using a silicone-base glue. Experiments on mock-ups were carried out beforehand to test its durability and water absorption.

03: {Twining Delta: A Pipeline for Life} DIPLOMA DESIGN PROJECT Autumn semester 2014 Programme: green high-rise building Site: Kakigaracho, Tokyo Tatsuno Prize (1st) and Condor Prize (scholarship)
GREEN: A new urban landscape Modern-day urban greenery is nothing more than a superficial ornament. The fact that human life and vegetation are primitively in an intimate relationship has been obliterated. This project proposes an alternative spatial relationship between human life and greenery. Since the rise of mass-production, variety has been lost on a genetic level in crops, vegetables and fruits. Only products from F1 hybrid
plants are being sold in supermarkets, and the seed market has been monopolised by multinational corporations. This lack of diversity has become a major but not yet widely recognised threat to the future of the human race. The towering hydroponic shell units, through which water circulates, become a hub for the new system of seed distribution, as well as creating a new urban landscape.
KAKIGARACHO: Exchange market The site is situated in Kakigara-cho, a traditionally commercial area in central Tokyo. In the former centre of grain exchange market, this project will become a hub for displaying and encouraging an open seed exchange system, as well as creating semi-open public spaces for locals and visitors.

SHELLS: Hydroponic structures Hydroponics is an efficient agricultural system that can function well in urban contexts, because of its compactness and manageability. 3 typologies of hydroponic shell units, which make up the structure of the tower, are combined into trio groups, creating diverse spatial characteristics. The shell structure enlarges the surface area of water pipes, allowing a larger number of plants to be grown and displayed in each unit.

CIRCULATION: Feeding and cooling Pipes in each unit are connected vertically. Water supplied with nutrients necessary to grow plants circulates through the system, in accordance with a combination of the NFT and Ebb+Drip hydroponic systems. Meanwhile, water circulation serves as a radiant cooling system, moderating the human environment within the building. Radiant heat is controlled by installing pipes with different degrees of conductivity.

04: {Chromophiliac Roofscape} ADAPTIVE MORPHOLOGY STUDIO Summer semester 2014 Professors: Kengo Kuma & Yusuke Obuchi Unit instructor: Kaz Yoneda Teaching assistant: Ryuyu Ishihara Programme: Landscape Site: Landfill site, Tokyo Bay Selected for Final Round of Studio review
MANIFESTO: Form follows colour Throughout the history of civilisation, colour has been condemned to the periphery of cultural notions. Design and colour have been tied to disproportionate, opposing notions such as "reason and emotion", "order and chaos", "structural and phenomenal" and "genuine and superficial", and it was considered that "design is predominant over colour". Colour has been classified as a secondary element, being merely superficial, supplementary, decorative and ornamental, and traditionally bore no relation with geometry in any way. In architecture, ornamental elements have been eliminated by Modernism, and monochromatic articulations have been favoured. However, should we step into the realm of Mother Nature, white becomes simply one of the many existing colours. Culturally, colour has
been married with symbols and emotions, but in the nature, a certain principle can in fact be observed. For example, in "structural colours", which can be found in the bodies of insects and birds, the decisive element for colour is its form. Structural colour is a mechanism of creating colour through controlling wavelengths and other microscopic structures. Rather than the object itself having a colour, as in pigments, this mechanism demonstrates colour through wave interference. Is it possible for colour to surpass its role as a simple decoration in the field of architecture? This project aims to discover an intimate relationship between colour and form on an tiny but entirely new scale, through a study on the natural mechanism of structural colours.

ANALYSIS: Reading parameters from nature Out of the 5 types of mechanisms of structural colours that exist in nature, butterfly scales have a combination of multi-layer and interference mechanisms, and can show colour at all angles. The flat scales have a microstructure section, and the colour is determined according to this form. In Phase 1, 3 types of colours, warm, cold and monochrome, have been selected as samples, and analysed in order to acquire a mechanism of colour. As a result, each parameter has been linked to the HSB model. Based on the results obtained in Phase 1, the next step was to analyse different colour patterns that occurred according to external elements. An aggregate of the previously analysed structures and colour have been put into a matrix to show change. The x-axis is the existence of the Pterin pigment which can inverts colour and the existence of water in-between the layers (as a temporary element), the y-axis shows the distance between two ridges, and the z-axis represents the height, which is controlled by different types of surfaces. From here, the relationship between form and colour can be evaluated, showing a possibility of it being applied to architecture.

LANDFILL: Purification by plant growth
NEW LANDSCAPE: Colour-filitering roof
Using the form generator that has been studied, structural colour can be applied on new, larger scales. The site is a landfill in Tokyo Bay. The proposal is a landscape that surpasses the idea of parks, where nature and human life can unite.
The topography and circulation of the site was extracted, on which the form-colour system was applied. In the final design, the cross vaults have been enlarged, where as the ridges are kept to the original scale, relatively shrinking. The light waves falling onto the ground is closely linked with the vegetation growth, circulation and human activity, defining an entirely new relationship between colour and architecture.

INTEGRATION: Landscape & Function This project is a masterplan and concept design for a new hotel and villa resort for Sheenjoy Hotel Group. The masterplan has been laid respecting the history and tradition of Chongqing's culture, material, space and architecture. The main concept is to provide the most exclusive experience for both the hotel and villas, by preserving the site's unique land-
scape as much as possible. The hotel public zone takes advantage of the view onto the mountains, with easy access from other zones and roads. Each villa in the hotel villa zone has a unique view onto the mountains, fitting into small niches in the mountains. The villa zone is the largest, and each villa have various views, such as the river, valley and mountain, depending on its location.

CHONGQING: Urban resort
心景 一期
Chongqing is a major city in Southwest China one of the five national central cities. The project site lies in a natural hot spring area, 45km north-west from central Chongqing, surrounded by the natural, rocky mountains. The area is abundant in natural elements; a hilly landscape, a wide river flowing in the south and deep forest covering the land with large basalt rocks peeking in places.

VILLA: Unique landscape view The hotel zone is located in the north side of the site where the best view onto the mountains can be enjoyed. The hotel’s public building consists of the lobby, restaurants, spa and salon, and is available to hotel guests and villa residents. Villa plans vary in size but all follow a basic principle of skip-floors and outdoor terraces, maximizing the level differences between the street in front and the mountain behind.

MASTERPLAN: Preserving nature The green ratio of the masterplan has been kept up to a level of 41%, in order to preserve the original rocky landscape where possible. The public hotel building, located in the most mountainous area, is easily accessible from both the hotel and residential villa areas. The hotel area (45,800 m²) has 41 guest units in total, varying from one- to three-bedroom villas. Here, the parking area is included in the public building. The residential villa zone (122,200 m²) consists of 157 units. Each villa has a private parking area underground, so as not to spoil the rich landscape for pedestrians overground.
