Prison and Local Industry Site : Kamikawa-cho, Hyogo, Japan Floor Size : 9,472m² Project Term : 09,2018-12,2019
In recent years, the rate of recidivism for misdemeanor offenses committed by people with hardship has increased. This illustrates the limitations of traditional simultaneous segregation-controlled prisons. Many of them are unable to adapt to society and re-offend after their release from prison because they are given a fixed lifestyle and live disconnected from society. Many of them are unable to obtain housing or jobs and commit theft and robbery. We propose to take advantage of the compulsory staffing, work, and reintegration needs that are characteristic of prisons, and to collaborate with declining local industries. Currently, Japan's local industries continue to decline due to a lack of successors due to the low birthrate and aging population. This is where we see the potential for social reintegration.A three-stage prison is planned to gradually form a relationship with society through labor and architecture.

Problem / prison
Increase in Repeat Offenders Rates The overall number of offenders has declined since 2006 in Japan. Although, the number of recidivists has not changed much. And the repeat offenders rate has been increasing. About half of second convictions is the minor offences such as larceny. It is thought that released prisoners can not belong to the society is main case of this.

Swirling Walls of Life and Linear Workplaces The living part of the building, composed of four diagonal walls, turns towards the center , and the multi-layered exterior walls ensure a view to the surroundings. The saw-mill runs in a straight line from the mountain to the town, crossing the railroad tracks and connecting to the town.

The overlapping of the exterior walls creates a boundary of narrow spaces.
Widening of sight by moat and multi-layered walls / Light control with slanted walls and louvered roof The light is controlled by slanted walls according to the individual. Construct a wall-less state by enclosing the perimeter with a moat to provide a line of sight to the city. Lowering the level to the center directs the activity to the center.
Isometric Drawing The second phase can accommodate 80 people, those who have shown a willingness to rehabilitate themselves. Here, they have an indirect relationship with society through lumbering.While maintaining a distance from the city across the railroad tracks, the outer moat creates an inward community and encourages people to live at the same level as the city and to long for the city by looking at it.

Tsunami evacuation tower as an extension of daily life Site : Tanezaki, Kochi-shi, Kochi, Japan Floor Size : 4,000m² Project Term : 10,2019-11,2019
T h e m e : New tunami evacuation tower
The site is Tanezaki, Kochi shi. When Nankai megathrust earthquake will occur, tunami will damage there. There are tunami evacuation facilities already. So please propose ‘New tunami evacuation tower’ The tunami evacuation facility is planed by setting up evacuation population and evacuation distance and evacuation time in the area. If there are high rise building or upland near there, we can designate them for evacuation facility. Evacuation facilities need 0.5~1.0 ㎡ per person generally. Their height is determined by assuming height of tunami. The government recommend setting up evacuation space that is 2 floors heigher than assuming height of tunami. The shape parrying tunami power is suitable , for example oval or rhomb. When it`s evacuation building, the floors under evacuation space have only colums and easily parry tunami power. team.

Tsunami evacuation tower
Example of a tsunami evacuation tower In Japan, tsunami evacuation towers are being built along the coastline in preparation for a tsunami. They are made of steel or RC and are often round or square in shape. Most of them are not designed for daily use, and are only used for evacuation.Therefore, it is common for residents to forget about them.

Hanging Gardens of Remnants Site : Sendagaya, Shibuya-ku Tokyo, Japan Floor Size : 13,000m² Project Term : 06,2020-07,2020
Theme: Legacy @ Sendagaya In the same way that the past Olympic and Paralympic Games enlivened Japan and left a useful legacy behind, we propose a facility that will serve as a legacy for this year's Olympic and Paralympic Games. We propose a sustainable architectural design and business scheme that will continue to function effectively even after the Olympic and Paralympic Games are held, regardless of the building type. The Tokyo Olympics, to be held in 2021, will be a quadrennial global sporting event and is expected to attract around 10 million people during the event. A huge amount of garbage will be left behind at the venues. Is it possible to capture this amount of trash as a record of human activities and preserve it for future generations? We propose an architecture that gives new value to the garbage and passes it on as a legacy. team. KoichiTamura, MasaruFukuoka, TomoyaHori

Giving value to garbage by spatializing waste volume I spatialization of waste volume by transforming waste into concrete formwork. Collected PET bottles and cans are compressed and converted into a box-shaped mass (bale). These bales were used as the formwork for concrete casting. In this way, the volume of the trash is replaced by the deposit of the interior space, and only the volume of the trash remains.

-Before Olympics-
1.
Before the Olympic Games, the composting facility will be built. At that time, a building will be constructed to serve as a scaffolding for the greenhouse that will follow.
-During Olympics-
2.
PET and cans discharged during the Olympics will be compacted and bailed and accumulated. Food waste will be dropped into a primary fermenter for composting.
3.
All the bales accumulated during the Olympics will be used as a formwork to construct a pyramidal structure. As the veil is consumed, the veil's temporary enclosure is reduced.
-After the Olympics-
4.
After the Olympics, the structure with the veil was completed. The volume of the waste will be retained as an interior space. Organic waste will be composted and returned to the ground.
5.
A movable roof film and ETFE faรงade will be attached to the building to create a greenhouse. The building will be operated as an aerial vegetable garden.

Seminar House with wide boundaries Site : Nada-ku, Kobe-shi, Hyogo, Japan Floor Size : 9,500m² Project Term : 04,2017-05,2017 Theme:Apart from lectures, exercises and practice as activities within the university, there is a need for a place where people can spend a certain period of time and space together, engage in focused activities and work with a common goal. This project is positioned as a common facility for universities in the Kinki region, and aims to provide a rich and free place for various activities, such as seminars, joint productions, studios, and collaboration with society, that are difficult to conduct within the university. A proposal for a seminar house where people live and learn while being stimulated in an unusual space. Dividing the function by the arrangement of the walls, we create a place for living and learning. By making the walls thicker, clearer boundaries are erased, and by walking along the walls, we find our own boundaries and our own place in the world. This creates a tense and relaxed space. In addition, by placing various functions within the walls, a large space such as a hall is created by using a partial wall structure. By planning a residence for the elderly together with a seminar house, we create an everyday life in an unusual way and create a middle ground for the relationship with the city.

Seminar House with wide boundaries
Site The site is located in Nada-Maruyama Park in the foothills of Nada Ward, Kobe. The site is located at an elevation of 160m above sea level, and offers a spectacular view of the residential area to the south and the sea. The park is located at a higher elevation than the residential area, and is separated from the surrounding area.
Boundaries varying wall thickness Walls have the property of delimiting space and usually serve as a boundary, or line. Crossing the wall switches the scene. By increasing the thickness of the wall and making the boundary a plane, the boundary is filled with space.
Three Wall Types The placement of walls of various wall thicknesses across the space creates a wall with three different characteristics." Space is created by leaning against the walls. Space is cut in the usual way. Vary the quality of the spaces that connect to each other."

The educational facility will be mainly used by 350 people. It is a place where people passing through, staying, and interacting with the architecture and its information will be able to generate creative communication and visualize a variety of activities. In contrast to the east-west axis of the Hankyu Kobe Line and the north-south axis that runs from the mountains to the sea, a new flow and stagnation that has never existed before will be created by incorporating the diagonal movement of people, and by layering them together, a new intersection will be created. Three types of users, train users, station facility users, and university users, are allocated in the slab strip according to their activities. This creates a simple flow line for each type of user, but it also creates an intersection of activities, new encounters, and new interests as people's eyes move back and forth. The oblique axis makes the station and the university facilities expand with inclusiveness and diffusion to the surrounding area, which not only makes the space in front of the station appear, but also brings about a more lively atmosphere in the city.

Layered Station and University
Site Hankyu Rokko Station is located at the foot of Mt. There is the sea to the south and University and Mountain to the north. It is not far from the center of city, which makes it a residential area. After the Hanshin-Awaji Great Earthquake, new residential areas have spread, and there is a large population of children.
Revitalization of the Citiy through Diagonal Line The current station building is an obstacle to the north-south flow line.By introducing diagonal activities on the orthogonal north-south and east-west axes, a gathering place will be created. Sea

Vertical Collective Housing Site : Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan Floor Size : 3,500m² Project Term : 05,2020-04,2020
Theme: The Future of Collective Housing with Work and Residence What does it mean to live in a modern city where people can choose the place to work in a society with diversified and changing values?The theme of this project is to go back to the fundamental meaning of home and work, and to consider the real needs of modern life, by considering the new housing complexes that integrate home and work into one unit. Since the modern era, we have sought a form of city and housing appropriate for a lifestyle of moving between their homes and workplaces every day. This led to the widespread housings where the workplace is separated from the home. In recent years, however, styles of work have diversified, and the forms of housing demanded have changed significantly "people's homes have become more connected to their neighborhoods and can be both homes and various other places."

Vertical Collective Housing
Verticality of Time, Style and Space By stacking the rooms vertically, the flow of life extends vertically along time.By louvering each floor, the continuity of each living activity can be coordinated and work becomes a series of living. It also allows light, sound, and wind to pass through the floors, allowing new boundaries to be set. The diversion of the layers as shops and rentals allows for the inclusion of different time flows.
Horizontal Spread between Dwellings By connecting each floor of the vertically stacked dwellings with a terrace, a horizontal expanse is created. The inhabitants decide who will use which terrace on each floor, and they can use it not only as a traffic line but also as a place for external activities and an extension of the interior. The horizontal use of the terraces changes in response to the vertical freedom of the interior spaces.
Layered Planar Configuration The inner and outer terraces are arranged on each floor, allowing for more than one line of flow, and the exit of the dwelling can be inward or outward facing. Even if the terraces are occupied, they can be accessed from different levels. The inner terrace can be used as an integral part, with the central room being a shared space. Steel mesh curtains are installed on the outside to provide shade, visual obstruction and handrails.
