PROPOSAL Prepare constructions for the prisoner to fully return to society. In addition to this, to propose a method of dismantling a prison because the number of prisoner nationwide has been decreasing and the prison should be eliminated.
1.Builds a temporary architecture around the perimeter of the wall, not inside the wall. Use the walls surrounding prisons as “wall of architecture” rather than “walls”. The space between the walls and temporary constructions is a new place for the prisoner to live. Create space for people to live right after leaving prison and create an environment that makes it easier for them to return to society. 2.Phasedly dismantle unnecessary existing buildings due to reduced use -Outside the wallsThe existing buildings are once skeltonized before dismantling and harmonized with temporary constructions to prevent temporary constructions formed on the perimeter of the wall from giving a sense of incongruity to a town. -Inside the wallsLeave with ground dug down to depth of foundation of the building after dismantling. Pass down the history of the prison by leaving traces of the building.

TOWNHOUSE RETURNING TO NATURE 06/2018 − 08/2018
Location : Kagoshima, Kagoshima, Japan
What is environmentaly friendly architecture? In this project, I designed a house that will serve as an architecture and will return to the earth when demolished. Focused on what kind of building material should be used, and I mainly used natural materials.
What kind of house will Japan need in the future? Japan has the highest proportion of elderly people in the world. From now on, it is necessary to have an idea to change aging into a favorable one. Focused on the relationship between children, parents and the elderly. Elderly people have retired from work, and most have time to spare. On the other hand, parents are often busy with work and cannot afford to spend time raising children, so I wondered if it would be possible to create an environment in which parents can easily leave their children with elderly people as if they were leaving their children with grandparents. Elderly people can benefit others by teaching children various experience and knowledge, and they can get something to live for. In today's Japan, connection with children may be the catalyst for a positive rethink of the super-aging society. 28

Strawbale which is an aguricultural by-product, is used for the insulation of the outer wall. Straw has excellent heat insulation, heat storage, and sound insulation, and be said to be a natural material that considers the environment. For finishing, Shikkui (Japanese Lime Plaster) excellent in humidity control and deodorizing effects in used to improve fire resistance, heat insulation, and durability.

RENOVATION OF LIVING HERITAGE 10/2017 − 12/2017
Location : Kagoshima, Kagoshima, Japan
The location of buildings on the site has a large effect on the area around the site. On the current site, the existing extension building has created a dead area, so I thought of ways of renovation method of the existing building and extension building to eliminate "the back" of the building and revitalize the city further. In addition, I believe that attachment is important for continuing to use architecture as a livig heritage, and by adding functions other than the office, I made it accesible to various people. This architecture will be a landmark to revitalize the city.
About Building : Japan Gas Office Building Designed by Japanese architect, Setsu Watanabe (1884-1967), in Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, Built in 1931. This building is a three story reinfoced concrete structure.

Strategy 1.Remove an existing extension building. 2.Cut a part of the north side of the existing building and Add a wooden building along the eastern road. 3.Make a plaza to connect the north and south of the site.
4.Connect the second and third floors of two buildings by a passege.
In order to harmonize and contrast the existing building and the extension part, the extension building is made to be a wooden structure. Use Glulam for columns and beams and CLT for walls around the core and floor boards.
Create a plazza on the same level as the B1, and attract tourists by setting up a bicycle rental shop on the B1. Create a bicycle parking area on the B1 and recommend bicycles as a means for workers in urban areas to commute. 42
