1. WATER AXIS PARK THE COMMUNITY COMPETITION ORGANISED BY NAGASAKI CITY OFFICE SITE
This park is located in the one of the most histrical area in Nagasaki called Peace Town.It is approximately 4,000 square meters and famous for its two histories: the second atomic bomb during World War II and Christianity. In front of this park, there is the Urakami Church which is famous for being the largest catholic church in Japan. It is also near the Nagasaki Peace Park, a memorial for the victims of the atomic bomb.
PROBLEM Despite being in front of Urakami Church, a symbol of this area, this park does not play a role in accentuating Urakami Church. Furthermore, it does not show any historical or cultural factors of Peace.
DESIGN CONCEPT & SOLUTIONS
Individual Studio Project Professional work Time Line : 2 weeks, July 2017 Location : Peace Town, Nagasaki
The line of sight from the Peace Memorial Statue to Urakami Church represent an axis. It is important to this design because it connects two of the most historic locations in Nagasaki. After the atomic bomb was dropped, the river in this location was covered with corpses. Highlighting the river will be in memory of the trageric event. Therefore, the design assosiates two symbols, Urakami Church and the peace statue, by using the axis and a water path.
RESULT
Only the layput of the water axis and its layout was approved. Its design was highly regarded by the residences of Nagasaki CIty and Nagasaki City Office. The construction work to renovate this park is going to begin in April 2018.
DESIGN CONCEPT
PEOPLE WHO VISIT THE PARK
According to this diagram, it is clear that people who visit the park can be devided into two categories: the morning and afternoon. In the morning, a large part of visitors are tourists, and in the afternoon the number of local residencce increase.
ZONING PLAN
A : DAY TIME / the axis with the water features
A : NIGHT TIME / the axis with lights leading to the Church
Visitors can enjoy approaching Urakami Church through rainbows created by the mists which represent the colorful stained glass of Urakami Church. This mists spayed according to the sound of the Church's bell.
At night, the lights put along the axis and the center pavement illuminates the colorful stained glass. This lead visitors to Urakami Church.

2. PEACE WALK THE PROJECT REQUESTED BY NAGASAKI CITY OFFICE Shun Ishimine & Yuki Morota
SITE
This street is in Nagasaki Peace Town and between the Nagasaki Peace Memorial Park and Urakami Church. Among the people who live in this area, this street is well known as a shopping street. There are various kinds of shops such as a supermarket, restaurants and cafes. For residents it plays an important role to support their daily lives. Additionally, this street connects Nagasaki Peace memorial Park and Urakami Church for visitors.
area 1
PROBLEM
This street has a number of issues. One of them is the layout: lights are unrepaired, trees are overgrown, etc. This makes this street seem narrow and dark. As a result, it is difficult for visitors to walk through.
DESIGN CONCEPT & SOLUTIONS
The main approach is to rearrange objects such as trees, street lights, signs, and guard rails. In addition, I proposed replacing street furniture with ones that matches the image of a church and peace. As a result, the public street will be easy to walk through.

RESULT
My proposal was approved by Nagsaki City Office and construction started in fall 2016. In fall 2017, construction finished and my proposal was implemented in Nagasaki Peace Town.

3. EUROPEAN STYLE GUEST VILLAGE SITE
- NAGASAKI WORKSHOP 2017
The name of this area is Minamiyamate and famous for being prosperous as the only western settlement in Japan in 16th century. It was also where westernization first began. Historically, Nagasaki people and westerners who lived in Minamiyamate had a meaningful relationships with each other culturally. Thus there are many western buildings in this area. Many other kinds of new cultures were introduced into this area including architecture. Given the historical back ground in Minamiyamate, it is clear that this area is a national treasure.
PROBLEM Many of traditional western buildings are no longer used and remain vacant. As the number of those houses increases, Minamiyamate has been losing its cultural values and prosperities.
Group Workshop
DESIGN CONCEPT & SOLUTIONS
Location : Minamiyamate, Nagasaki
To invite as many visitors as possible, I propose making use of the vacant western houses into the guest house. Due to this, I aim to attract the younger generation to Minamiyamate to get back prosperity which this area had in 16 th century. In addition, by designing a new gateway, it makes it easier to

● The improvement of pedestrian flow The improvement of pedestrian flow is the key in this project. Currently, the flow is inconvenient. For example, there are no pathways to invite visitors to the design sites. In addition, the connection between design sites and Glover Garden, that is famous for the World Heritage, is not good. Thus, focusing on the design site, I propose designing the new pathway to lead a significant number of visitors to the Minamiyamate.
GATEWAY TERRACE
This is the key area to invite visitors to the design sites directly. Visitors used to come here via an inconvenient route from Glover Garden. Thus, this Gateway Terrace plays a important role in easily connecting Grover Garden and the design sites. CAFE & COMMUNUTY CENTER

MARIA GARDEN Historically, Maria Garden was used as a church and western school for residents in Minamiyamate. Now it serves as an orphanage. My proposal is to turn this historical building into a high end hotel. It would be the center for all guest houses and from where the area is managed.

Wataru Uehara, the doctoral student at the graduate school of biomedical sciences in Nagasaki University, published the thesis: "Selenoprotein L-inspired nano-vesicular peroxidase mimics based on amphiphilic diselenides" in Colloids and Surfaces B. I designed this graphic to respresent his resarch finding and this image was used for the front page of the vol.162 in 2018. This graphic illustrates the diselenide derivatives in a liposomal colloidal scaffold acting as the GPx nano-mimics in physiological aqueous media.
