The Facade of The Alley Kyoto,Japan
Design: 2016-2017 DiplomaĂ—KYOTO Day2 2nd Prize
Jury Award
Once the Japanese alley was bustle by the Machiya (Japanese traditional work house), various people were gathering in the road. but now the alley is just used by cars, the Machiya has disappeared, and the interface of alley are gone. Here, in order to regain the bustle of such former way, I design the architecture which becomes the interface of the city. It functions as pleats for decorating the roads, and by bending them leads people into the area that was once the courtyard. By doing so, we will restore the bustle which was truncated by the transition of the Jyobo system.

Antonello da Messhina "St.Jerome in His Study"
St.Jerome in His Study Kyoto,Japan
Design: 2016
Kyoto, Arashiyama is famous as a noble residence from the Heian era and now there are scenic place where are crowded by the tourists constantly. The site was far from the center of arashiyama a little bit, so I should have design the simple accommodation which is slightly different from neighbouring inn. Therefore, I plan the Internet cafe that is rapidly spreading as a cheap accommodation. I installed a furniture unit refered from the painting "St. Jerome in his study" on the Internet cafe . The room which the funiture unit are arranged provide the space that looks like single shady-like imaginary scine as shown in Mr. Zhu's Richness in Emptiness".

Vacan-Cycle Competition,Japan Design: 2017
Collaborative production 11st HASEKO Corporation Competition　2nd Prize
I plan to reorganize the network city by bicycle stalls. The vacant houses and vacant lands in the town transform into the hub for bicycle stalls, and connecting various kinds of stalls to them makes it possible that city will be activated from small communities which is born in various places in the city. The bicycle stand is owned by the residents of the housing complex, and their stall are appeard the characteristics of the owner. When bookshelve stalls gather, they become a public program like a moving library. The resident who have hobby stalls like art, craft and so on bring out to the outside. This system express the potential bustle when bicycle stalls runs around and some people come together.
In the section composition as well, it is arranged such that inside and outside were connected gradually via a bicycle such as "Doma -> Engawa -> bay window -> unit room". Also, using a slope of the site, a three-dimensional street and courtyard was set up at the second floor level, and a stall was designed to expand three-dimensionally inside the housing complex.
The planning idea is refered from hybrid composition in which the stall entered a vacant house and the unit gathered together at there. The vacant house was positioned as a shared section where bicycle stalls connect and pass through, with doma space and engawa space, bay windows installed. The bicycle stalls go through doma space, or stop at the engawa and expand its stand. We can look these sceine through the bay windows from the units.

Unfolded House Competition,Japan Design: 2018

I thought that the road is a betweenness of things and things, for example, betweness of buildings and buildings, betweenness of walls and walls, betweeness of furnitures and furnitures. By unrolling the walls that make up those roads and rehanging the roof, we reconstruct the relationship between the road and the architecture. "Inner wall" becomes the outer wall and "outer wall" becomes the inner wall. The house is formed by a room attached to a series of "outer wall". "Outer wall" is constituted while bending at right angles, and places a privacy room such as a bedroom and a bath in the corner of the pot. Inside the house, the engawa is connecting the rooms. You can use it as an extension of each room by passing through the interior while responding one by one. Unrolled house conect with multiple dwelling units by incresing surface area. And bending roads create rooms, relationships between houses. The joiner between Doma road and the room creates a layer.

Deep Diving into the River Zurich Switzerland Design: 2019
Unlike the Limmat River, which flows next to the river, Shil RIver, which runs in Zurich, has a rapidly changing water level, making it a hidden place that is not well maintained. Here, it designed using the form of the island which considered the change of this water level. The design strategy is based on a large slope, and by placing microtopography on it, we created a natural and huge square in the city. Also, this island changes with the passage of time. This sometimes creates a deeper culture, sometimes with deeper nature, and sometimes with naming the island and playing.
