Architect : Tadao Ando Location : Osaka, Japan Date : 1976 Building :Type row house, small house Construction System: Concrete Climate : Semitropical Context : Dense urban Style : Modern Details Site area: 57 sq meters Building area: 34 sq meters Total floor area: 65 sq meters Term of planning: 1/1975-8/1975 Term of construction: 10/1975-2/1976 Site area: 57.28 sq. meters Total floor area: 64.72 sq. meters

Site Plan

Site Context: Azuma House with its surrounding

- A simple block building which is inserted in a narrow street of row houses. - Immediately noticeable because of its blank concrete faรงade punctuated only by a doorway. - Barely noticed as a house designed by a world famous architect.

“In all my works, light is an important controlling factor,” says Ando.

The use of light and space to create a spiritual feeling and connection with nature is Ando’s architectural signature. Original Sketches

Interplay between light and dark.

Tone drawings

Light and Shadow Drawings

Three equally sized rectangular volumes: Two enclosed volumes of interior spaces separated by an open courtyard.

A bridge spans the courtyard and joins with a side staircase that descends to the courtyard. The courtyard completely open to the sky above.

Windowless facades. To allow natural light penetrates is only through the courtyard. No interaction with the surroundings.

Courtyard becomes an integral part of the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circulation system. It is entirely wrapped up with concrete, no greenery.

Ando says, “I do not believe architecture should speak too much. It should remain silent and let nature in the guise of sunlight and wind speak.”

Simplicity

Introducing nature elements “light, wind, rain water” Experience nature without distractions of city. Introduce natural phenomena that are being forgotten in the city.

Bringing lifestyle out of chaos Enclosing geometric walls of thick concrete. Create private barrier between the urban street and interior living space.

His designs generally incorporate minimal ornamentation on the walls of the building. Minimal composition of boxes creates the front facade.

Ando writes, “At times walls manifest a power that borders on the violent. They have the power to divide space, transfigure place, and create new domains. Walls are the most basic elements of architecture, but they can also be the most enriching.”

Materiality Ando’s staple materials: concrete Reinforced concrete defines spaces in unique new ways that allow constantly changing patterns of light and wind.

Powerful concrete walls with light and nature to create a deep sense of peace.

Tactility The light and shadows conditions on the façade interpreted the concrete wall seems to be soft.

From a functional viewpoint, the courtyard forces the inhabitant to endure the occasional hardships. At the same time, the open courtyard is capable of becoming the houseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vital organ, introducing the everyday life and assimilating precious stimuli such as changes in nature.

With the exception of the kitchen/dining/bath grouping, one must go outside to pass between rooms even during the winter and rainy seasons. If one had to go to the bathroom at night, one had to go outside through the courtyard. Ando acknowledged, as his critics pointed out, that this was inconvenient.

In the courtyard, nature presents a different presents a different aspect of itself each day.

The courtyard is the nucleus of life that unfolds within the house.

Ando considers Azuma House to be the “point of origin” for his subsequent work. His approach – “to connect the art of building to the art of living” – became his goal. In the case of Azuma House, the life to be lived was that of busy urban dweller whose opportunities to experience nature were few, but each of his subsequent designs have met the same challenge.

Compliance Report The following table lists those features of house design and construction which have been identified by the software as critical to the achievement of the rating. If there has been any change to these features proposed or during construction the house should be re-rated to ensure that the required star rating has been maintained. This page must be checked and signed by the builder and owner and presented to the Building Surveyor as evidence that the house has been constructed in accordance with the star rating prior to the issuing of an Occupancy Permit. If the house has not been constructed to the standards listed in this table, further ratings must be provided to show that the required rating has been achieved.

Benefits of a Rooftop Garden. Helps protect rooftops from damaging UV light. Can act as insulation from heat, cold and sound. Aesthetically pleasing Uses valuable space in urban areas for food production. Adds value to properties. Is ecologically a great idea. Rooftop garden construction styles. Simple placement of a few pots and planters to create a little green oasis. A hydroponics low weight rooftop garden. A complete garden with pavers, lawn and water features. An integrated rooftop garden in a new structure that acts as both a garden and insulating feature. Factors to consider in rooftop garden construction. It sounds easy, get a few planters, a few bags of potting mix and some plants, a source of water and we have an instant rooftop garden.Consider these factors before you start.

For green roofs to be successful in Australia, native and exotic plants adapted to heat, cold, sun, wind and drought and tolerant of some root inundation need to be identified and their performance tested.

Varieties planted include: • Alpine Tussock Grass (Poa heimata) • Spear Grass (Austrostipa sp.)

The drought tolerance of native herbs, native grasses and native and exotic succulents were tested by applying 2, 5, 10 and 20 day watering intervals to plants growing in green roof microcosms – polystyrene boxes fitted with a drainage layer, geotextile and 15 cm of green roof substrate.

• Wallaby Grass (Austrodanthonia spp.) • Kangaroo Grass (Themeda triandra) • Magenta Storksbill (Pelargonium rodneyanum) A beautiful clumping plant, great for rockeries. • Pigface (Carpobrotus modestus) • Rounded Moon-flower (Disphyma crassifolium) • Coastal Twin-leaf (Zygophyllum billardierei) • Common Everlasting (Chrysocephalum apiculatum), which has lovely grey foliage that reflects the heat. • Dampiera sp. A lovely trailing plant with gorgeous blue fan-like flowers and a tuberous root system. Nick says, "If it gets really dry they’ll just go dormant for a little while and then regrow from that tuber." • Lomandra sp.
