SHARE Yaraicho | Tokoyo, Japan STUDY TYPE, GROUP F1
The theme of Studio F is Social Housing - Living Together but Apart. The precedent, Share Yaraicho, has been given to study the relationship between public and private spaces, and to understand how people can work in collective areas but still have their own individual space for living.
Share Yaraicho, located in one of Tokyo’s most densely populated areas of Kaguracaka, is set amongst a series of third and fourth generation detached houses in a way that it blends into the urban landscape. It was built by Satoko Shinohara of Spatial Design Studio and Ayano Uchimura of A Studio in response to the continuing trend of social solitude amongst young and old generations. In 2012, 50% of people in Tokyo lived alone so Share Yaraicho was the first newly built shared house in response to combating this norm and offering an alternative to singular living . The house runs on the basis of self-organisation which is aided by Uchimura living in the house since its completion, predominantly alongside other designers. The roof garden allows for home grown veg and the entrance way workshop produces all necessary furniture needed, making the house fairly self-sufficient. Communication between occupants is a central theme of the build, with the spaces organised to promote this. The zip-front entrance to the house blurs the line between what is public and what is private enhancing the idea of shared spaces as it enables a continual dialogue with the community it sits in; enhanced by all seven occupants of the house being members of the local neighbourhood association. The idea and design of the house should enable people to escape standardised metropolitan living so that domestic functions, e.g. cleaning and washing, are undertaken by the communal group. It aims to liberate inhabitants from the constraints of social ownership and obligation. This idea is set to appeal to groups of people with a common interest or social outlook, namely students or young professionals, and is intended to include the increasingly older generation within Tokyo.

Share Yaraicho sits in an urban context set back from downtown Tokyo’s predominantly high-rise setting. Its residential purpose and consequent placement by the designers enables the structure to blend successfully into the existing forms already there. The use of polycarbonate sheeting for the façade of the building creates a semi-transparent exterior to allow ample daylight to enter the building. This is enhanced by a zip window on the first floor, two large glass panels on the ground and second floors, and polycarbonate shutters to the rear making the internal space light and airy and ventilating it successfully. The combination of wood and polycarbonate for the internal structure lends a sense of warmth and luminosity to the interiors. The partial transparency of the exterior enhances the idea of ‘public to public’ as neighbours and passers-by from the road get glimpses of forms and movements and different times of the day. The placement of Share Yaraicho maintains the scale of the existing site it was built on and hence performs, in some respects, in a similar way to its neighbourly counterparts. In contrast, on closer inspection, it attracts the attention of passers-by due to its unique outlook and alternative sense of ownership. The integration explored in the building draws an autonomous approach towards urban living.

As seen by the axonometricdiagram/plans and sections here, the public and private spaces are closely interwoven throughout the share house. The front door space of which our model is made of is almost a blend from the outdoor pubic realm into an indoor public space where the inhabitants can create, collaborate and construct in terms of food, discussion and furniture making. The private rooms in this building are cold and not too inviting almost forcing the inhabitants to spend the majority of their time in the public spaces conversing and co-living. Unlike many other projects of co-habitation this project stands out as it isn’t a set of private blocks connected by public ones but a ensemble of the two created in harmony with one another.

We chose to focus on the entrance of Share Yaraicho to place emphasis on lack of distinction between public and private spaces that runs throughout the building. The zip entrance makes the initial space a continuation of the outside pathway, providing a heightened sense of community throughout the structure.

The site originally is filled with residential buildings, and the parking area is placed in the centre of the site. Also, some abandon shops are on the ground floor on the building located further from the water of Leith. The main concept for our Leith 2030 master plan is to bring economic activities to the site. The restaurants near the river site are replaced with a library, bringing a quiet environment to the residential area. The housing next to the car park will become a market. Some convenient shops will be positioned on the ground level of the building close to the parking. The abandon shops will be transferred into bars. The height of some of the buildings is altered In order to create views for the residents. To summarize, the main concept of 2030 master plan is to place a commercial area in the centre of the residential area, which not only creates a more quiet environment for livings but also brings people from residential area to commercial area.

APOLOGIA - I The economic awareness has become the key theme in the first semester. The volume, function or exterior shape of architectures are not the only considerations when developing a model. In this stage, the notion of economic impact and community living become vital elements to understanding architectural context. The study of circulation in my bedroom provide me with the knowledge of my lifestyle and it also applies to understanding important to people’s daily life. In the project of “A day in a life of you”, natural lighting is the most essential component of inhabitation since sunlight can influence a person physically and psychologically. Working beside a window with maximum sunlight increases individual work efficiency. My bedroom is noisy due to it being very close to “The Gate”, which leads to bad sleeping quality at night. These concepts are then carried on to the further projects. The current site is mostly filled with residential buildings with only limited economic activity. In Leith 2030 master planning, we decided to apply more economic concepts to the site by making the centre of the site a commercial and entertainment area, and housing will be allocated to around the midpoint. The proposal not only provides residents with quieter inhabitation but also pulls people into the central commercial area. For the dwelling project, the theme of studio F is Social Housing – Living together but apart, so the design needs to consider economy strategies and community living. These housings are for lower income families that do not have enough economic condition to raise the next generation. In order to provide stable earnings, a public café will be included in the dwelling to create more job opportunities for those group of people. Two options of location are provided by the tutors, one is next to the Water of Leith and another one is in the center of the site across the parking. The dwelling is decided to be sited near the river in 2030 proposal since the area is not noisy and have nice quality environments. I am interested in exposed steel structural architecture this year and how individual volume is stacked on top of each other in the frame construction. I looked into a few Richard Rogers works, such as Ching Fu Headquarters in Taiwan, which demonstrates the projection of having single units in the exposed steel frame. The idea is taken as an inspiration to further develop the design, which there will be six units on the first and second floor and collective areas between them. Although the private kitchen is available at home, shared kitchens are also designed on both levels for socialization. Reception and café are on the ground floor for the public to access areas stretching from the Riverside to the green area. Because the housing represents a generation of family, the spirit of continuation is important. Therefore, the roof is designed to incorporate sustainability to create a better environment for future generations. To summarize, the dwelling not only considers the basic elements, but also the wider concepts of economic development and community living

DWELLING PLUS | Leith, Edinbrugh SOCIAL HOUSING, LIVING TOGETHER BUT APART
The aim of the project is to design a residential housing with the notion of the economy on the Leith 2030 master plan. The social house is located near the riverside between the library and an old apartment building. Due to this is a social house for lower income family, a public cafe is designed on the ground level, provide work opportunity for one of the family members who live in the building. Other than the private area for the individual family, the collective area is also a vital space to bring residents together for family activities. The construction detail diagram is demonstrated to show the solution for thermal, waterproofing, fire protection, and noise problem.

Form follow function� stated by Louis Sullivan. The function seems to be the most essential element in the design process, and it is the first thing to consider in the design. Solar angle and noise level directly influence the placement of volumes. Due to the road near the riverside has the highest noise level, the cafe will be placed on the space close to the river. Private and collective for residents will be positioned on the first and second level. The space above the cafe becomes a balcony for residents to enjoy the view of the river. A collective garden is placed on the top floor of the housing to provide a platform for residents to appreciate the view of the city landscape. To link the riverside and the green area, the whole volume is lifted to create a pathway for the public to pass through. Lastly, every unit of housing is posited to create better views of the river and green area.

In terms of the exterior design, I am inspired by some of the steel frame architectures done by Richard Rogers, such as the Ching Fu Headquarters in Taiwan and the Madrid international airport in Spain. In order to let natural light deep into the collective area, semi-transparent materials become the replacement of walls. Also, these folding semi-transparent glazing can be opened during summer to create opened collective areas and to form efficient ventilation. To create a sustainable function, two groove structures are built on top of the garden to collect rainwater and reuse for other purposes.

The movie that our studio has been allocated is Birdman (2014), which was written by Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Alexander Dinelaris Jr., and Armando Bo, and it is directed by Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Our group has Scene 1: Coffee' Scene (30:39 - 35:23). Riggen is having a conversation with his ex-wife in his dressing room. After the deep talk, he is leaving to the outdoor city space through the narrow dark corridor, where he feels confused and frustrated. When Riggen is talking to Mike about the play, he has an intensive emotion. However, their conversation becomes more peaceful after they drink at the bar.

INSPIRATION We are inspired by the arts done by Victor Pasmore. His 3D collages and models enrich people perspective by allowing people to see the art pieces from different angles. The line drawing leads people eye to certain directions, and this further inspired us to use wired to link all of our models together.

STORYBOARD DEVELOPMENT There are four main environments in the film that we have been allocated, such as, Riggen's dressing room, corridor, outdoor city space, and the bar. Four of them have different spatial feelings, thus, we dicide to produce four models to produce a differenWt atmosphere. The final storyboard is presented on page five. First scene A rectangular box is made with lighting illuminated from the circular hole on the wall. The colour of the light altered when Riggen has a different moWod. Some small objects will be poured on the ball (Riggen) to present he has heavy pressure. Second Scene For the second model, we build a path with many boards on the side, and all of them are sprayed in black to create a frustrated spacial experience. In this part in the movie, the corridor convey the confused emotion of Riggen, therefore. we build a model to generate a similar atmosphere. Third Scene When Riggen and mike have a more serious argument during the conversation, balls will drop to another layer. Fourth Scene Riggen and Mike have a more peaceful conversation in the bar. The light will shine on the ball to symbolized a good ending.

SCENE ONE Scene one is filmed in Riggen's dressing room, and the room is filled with warm lighting. Near the end of the scene, he has an argument with his ex-wife. We made a box with a circle on the wall for lighting. We have also experience with the different colour interior to find out which colour create the best effect. Different type of lightings is also tested to find the most suitable colour. To demonstrate the heavy pressure on Riggen, red beans are poured into the box and hit on the ball.
SCENE TWO The narrow small corridor is the main environment in scene two. We go to the Hatton Gallary and we are inspired by 3D artworks of Victor Pasmore. Few small scale models are produced to form the atmosphere of confusion and frustration. As a final, we have created a path with many walls randomly placed along the edges of the base.
58
ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE | PROCESS PAGE
SCENE THREE Stair model is made to represent the deep conversation that Riggen and Mike have. Every time when they have an argument, the balls drop to another level. The monochrome New York City image is pasted on the background due to the location of the movie is in NYC. We have also try to film with the different form of the ball, however, it does not work very well.
SCENE FOUR Scene four is located in the bar, where the atmosphere becomes more peaceful. The idea of the fourth model is similar to the first one, however, the last model only has a base and two removable walls. The light will illuminate from the gap between two boards.
ENGINEERING EXPERIENCE | PROCESS PAGE
59
The project required good team working skills in order to create an effective progress on model making and film editing. We have only two weeks to complete a short five to seven-minute film. The cooperation of our group was not doing well in the first week due to some of our group mates have their deadline extended. However, we worked together and splitted workload to increase the productivities after few tutorials. This project provides us a chance to explore several filming technique and to make model with many different machines in the workshop, which will make us have a brief background to the next project. The only advices: the final output will be more mature if we have more time to discuss about the story board and experiment with few different materials.

APOLOGIA - II Throughout the semester two, the word “experience� becomes the central idea that we focus on. The material that my studio has been allocated is concrete. From my point of view, concrete is the material that bridges architecture into modernism. A few centuries ago, most of the construction was built with wood, stone and brick until reinforced concrete was invented in 1849 by Joseph Monier. In this period, the material of construction started transforming into concrete, and the scale of the structure start becoming higher and larger due to concrete can hold a heavier weight load and create a stronger construction. The concrete broke the limitation of architecture and bring multiplicity to the form of architecture. Therefore, that is the reason why concrete is the material that brings architecture into modernism. Due to these reasons, I decided to design a modern art museum, to exhibit the evolution of art. When visitors join the festival event, they will visit the sculptures or paintings from the past in Durham Castle and Cathedral. Then, they will visit the art centre. When people visit both kinds of art, past and modern, the transition of art can be read. Concrete is one of the important construction resources, and it shows the rawness of the material that presents the most primitive look of the element. The rawness of concrete makes me think of nature because both of them are pure and original, and it inspires me to create interaction between architecture and nature. Tadao Ando is famous for incorporate daylight into his design. Thus, I study some of his works, such as the Chichu Art Museum, to understand his solar strategy on illuminate sunlight into the underground gallery. I take the inspirations from the precedent study to develop my concept, which I design the form of the art centre based on the slope of the landscape, and try to incorporate natural light into my design. I believe that his faith in architecture inspired me this semester, creating interaction between nature and architecture, as he said: I do not believe architecture has to speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind.

The material that our studio is studying is concrete and the theme of the festival is modernism. For this Project, we are aimed to design an art centre that contains a gallery and a studio on a site beside the Kingsgate footbridge and the Wear River. I am designing a museum of modern art due to concrete is one of the materials that bridge architecture into modernism. The theme of the festival is modern art. The route can be divided into two parts to observe two different kinds of material, stone and concrete. The route will start at the Durham Castle, and then visitors will walk along the riverside to the Durham Cathedral. These two historic buildings are built with stones and present some old artworks and sculptures from a few decades ago. A small market (outdoor exhibition) of modern art is set on the plaza in front of the Cathedral. The next location is “Kingsgate Bridge & Durham University Student Union�. The structures are built with concrete, which is one of the most representable materials of modernism. Lastly, the art centre across the student union will be visited. After visiting all the attractions, passengers will take the boats from the small pier at the art centre back to the castle to complete the festival route.

The shape of the landscape inspired me to place the volumes based on the slope to make all them parallel to the landscape. Another concept that influences the placement of volume is the circulation of visitors. Series of volumes are placed separately on the site to create a walkway for visitors to travel between the volume and get close to the riverside.

When I am doing the precedent study, I am inspired by House in Chicago and the Chichu Art Museum by Tadao Ando. The former precedent gives me an idea of designing entrys for both ability and disability on the plaza. Also, the composition of a ramp in front of the glazing is interesting. The later gallery is built under the ground, and the architect has created few sky windows to allow natural light deep in. I take these two inspirations from the study to further develop my design.

The main material of the art centre is concrete. The wall is constructed with high dense concrete, which can produce a smooth surface to make the design cleaner. The floor will be finished with stone decking. The small pier in front of the art centre is built with wood.

The diagram above presents the circulation of ability and disability. Ability can access to the art centre from the plaza or the stair. Disable people can arrive near the riverside through the ramp on the plaza. The diagram on the right shows the public and semi-public area, which help to explain the circulation. Part of the +5 level is public space, which visitors can travel between the stair and the plaza.

PROCESS AND REFLECT LEARNING JOURNAL
MODEL MAKING AT DIFFERENT SCALE & EXPERIENCE WITH DIFFERENT MATERIAL Stage two is about experimenting with different techniques and material. Most of the models are made with cardboard last year, and the texture of materiality cannot be clearly presented. Throughout the year, I tried to make a model with concrete, plaster and wood to study the materiality. Testing with different elements can inspire me to decide the material of my design project, and the realistic render allows me to understand the spatial experience. Also, I found that making models in different scale can help me understand my design strategy due to the model show the relationship between my designs and context.
92
PROCESS AND REFLECT
PHOTOGRAPHY AND FILMING Taking photographs of the three-dimensional model is the best way to understand my design concept because the spatial experience and atmosphere can be clearly presented at the result. Also, I have tried to take photos in the outdoor environment to allow natural light to deep into the model to simulate the solar strategy. Another technique that I have learnt this year is filming. In engineering experience, I have to try several shooting techniques, such as capturing the motion of moving object. Both techniques give me another way to present my design concept in future presentations.
PROCESS AND REFLECT
93
REPRESENTATION Representation is an essential skill to communicate my design concept to the clients. This year I have learnt to use SketchUp to produce three-dimensional digital models, and the rendering tool in the software can produce a realistic image. I also layer the rendered digital model in the context environment to present my design in the real world. These skills help convey the spatial experience when presenting. Also, I have tried to edit diagrams and axonometric drawing with colour coding to present the function of the project. These techniques are important because it not only helps me to demonstrate a more finished presentation but also helps the communicating idea to others.

LEARNING JOURNAL A sketchbook is always a vital tool for me to develop my design project due to it records some potential concepts of design projects. When I visit the site, I always try to sketch a few key views of the site and to record every essential information about the environment. The precedent study is always a key process that affects my design in the development stage because it provides me with some inspiration on the design. After visiting the site and researching on some precedent, I develop a whole scheme from volumetric study to final in the sketchbooks. These sketches provide a complete process to communicate how I approach my design.
