fig1.Tokyo Japan

These days, in japanese urban city, such as Tokyo, population have been remarkably increasing. That's why, people who live in high-rise apartment buildings have been increasing too. But people who live in such an apartment don't have a chance to relate to nature because it is high density and there is no space to feel nature.

fig2.merchant in kyoto

fig3.merchant in kyoto

Then, is it impossible to feel nature at the high density housing?Merchant in kyoto -kyoto is my hometown- is typically housing which can feel nature regardless of high density and . So, I proposed the high-rise and high density apartment building refferd to the form of the merchant in kyoto. 2 •Site/Higashi nippori arakawa ku tokyo japan •Program/housinsgs and shops Site area/ 2660m •Floor space/ 20000m •Number of floor/42 (skip floor and one floor is 2300mm )•Rate of building volume/ 600％

Merchant in kyoto

Kyoto is made up by blocks and street called "omote".

Merchant filled the blocks. So, it can be high density.

Lanes through the block for approaching to housing .

Every housing has some cortyard. It is important for residents.

Omote Reffer to merchant in kyoto, street for approaching to each housing is called "Omote". At this project, it through top from bottome in a spiral. "Omote" is highly important for people who live in merchant, because "Omote" is a space to feel nature or communicate with neighbors. At the case of this project, "Omote" is vital for residents too.

Residents often communicate with others or take a rest here .

Cortyards Reffer to merchant in kyoto, prepare some cortyards in a housing. The place that cortyards prepare is next to huge void or surfaces of the building. So, people can spend their time to resting or feeling nature. In addition to that, they can feel nature even if they stay inner, because many rooms next to garden.

fig1. wind-bell

fig2. waterwheel

These days, In japan, it is said that our daily life is separate from nature, though in old days, people live with nature. For example, people can spend their time under an uniform temperature or conditions in house because of development of equipment. That's way, it become difficult for people to feel neture. So, I would like to propose an architecture that makes people to feel nature a lot. Nature always change. To feel this change through architecture. This is a big purpose of this project. That was why I decided to propose an architecture like a wind-bell or a waterwheel. Wind-bell sounds when the wind blow and waterwheel revolve when the water flows. These are depends on the nature's change . I forcused that the changes of the weather. It is sunny, we go out or dry clothes in the sun. On the other hand, it is rain, we read a book or watch TV in the room. I think that our activity and feeling depends on the weather. Therefore I would like to suggest the architecture agree with great nature and it's character of space depends on the weather.

fig3. changes of the weather

Usually, architecture protect from nature such as wind and rain. People cannot feel nature in such an architecture.

If it sunny, people go out and dry clothes in the sun.

If it sunny, the shadow of the roof cast. It may makes territory.

This time, I propose the architecture that don't protect from nature and agree with nature.

If it rain, people go out with umblla or stay home.

If it rain, the rain curtain fall from the roof. It can be a dividing line.

Site This architecture is located in Nagano , Japan, in regidential area. But If it located another area, I think the character of space is completely different and it becomes interesting too.

Cycle diagram When it is sunny, water evaporate and it will become cloud. After that, it will be rain. I tried to insert this architecture in the nature cycle. Rain makes a screen like a curtain in this architecture. The water pour down through little and many holes of the floor and it will make a space or area for water-lovers. Sunlight makes shadow spaces and evaporate water. Thus the space of architecture will be changes agree with the natural changes.

Throuh the lecture, we read "Words and Buildings" that is a book written by Adrian Forty. Then, The assigment of this project is to make a house for two persons reffer to this books and develop the idea. • Site/4-16 wakasato nagano city nagano japan • Program/house for two persons •Site area/200㎡ •Floor space/ 70 ㎡ •Rat e of the building volume/35％ •Number of floor/one •A scale/ for two persons fig1.House for a musician

fig2.Une petite maison

Windows cut off the view. House for a musician which is designed by olgiati and Une petite maison which is designed by Le Corbusier are cut off the wonderful view. When people peep the view through the window, people are strongly aware of them. In addition to that, sometimes people feel that the view opposide of the wall like a virtual. When I saw "Open sky" which is designed by James tarrell I felt so. He cut the part of the ceiling and shows people sky. It is real sky but I felt like a virtual sky. Because the cailing is too thin. I proposed a house for two persons. The purpose of this project is that to have an illusion and residents can live with fresh feelings. This house is for two persons but they live in separately. There are very thin wall with many window bitween two person's territory. And they can see the room of the opposite of the wall through the windows. If people peep others' room through the window, he or she would feel like a virtural. In addition to that, If people see his or her own room through the window behind the other's room, he or she may feel like a virtural even if it is own room.

People walk aroud the house, he or she can see various view and feel like a mixture of virtural and reality. fig3.Open sky

The view of the opposite of the wall makes her to feel like a virtural

She can see her own rooms through the window behind the others' room. She feel like a virtural too.

She can see various view when she walk around the house.

fig1.Domino system

fig2.Verner Panton in Living Tower

Domino system, that is proposed by Le corbusier is a simple system like a "nest". I think that a nest is prepared according to inhabitants' sense of comfortability. On the other hand, I would like to propose the architecture for chirdren like a "cave". Upon entering a cave, humanity adeptly assimilated to the landscape by interpreting the various hints of convexoconcave surface and scales. I think that Especially, chirdren can assimilate the architecture because they have personality idea each other and they don't know common sense. In addition, it is highly important for children to develop their sense of oliginality. So, I proposed the architecture that is by place-making that encourages children to seek a spectrum of opportunities.

Verner Panton designed a furniture like a cave which can used freely. It is organic but systematic and simply. Therefore I think that I can make such an architecture if I uses only one organic shapes. So, I would like to propose the architecture that chirdren can uses freely expect for it leads chirdren the nature in the park, using only one organic shape.

•Site/Wakasato park , 4 wakasato nagano city, nagano in japan •Program/the architecture for children •Floor space/ 200㎡ •Number of floor/1 •A scale/for 30 chirdren

Uses only one organic shapes.

One of them leads children to the top of the hill.

Connect smoothly each other.

Connect these three shapes like a pipe.

Bent over the tail .

Prepare many little pipe. These are used freely by children.

Site

This architecture is located in wakasato park in nagano city in Japan. There are librally and concert hall in the park. And it has a lot of trees and natures. That's way I would like children to touch with nature in the park.

Big three pipes leads children to nature and littele many pipes are used freely by children. For example, chirdren sit on a pipe or learn against a pipe or peep through a pipe... I expect to children uses it as they like and discover something in the architecture.

The pipe which beggest of the three lead children to top of the hill.

This pipe lead children to many threes. Children are able to touch with them.

The pipe which rise high show children big sky.

I believe that high density residential area have possibility that can be like a appartment. Then, I built a big roof in the residential area -big glass roof. Because of the big glass roof , residential area change like a apartment. A sense of unity will developed among residents . In addition, because of the caractaristic of the glass roof, ordinary view can be change.

Residential area.

The roof is transparent to light.

I built the big glass roof there.

The roof reflects and refracts the ordinary view.

The roof prevented from rain. People feel a sense of belongings.

The roof would shine because of the light.

100 (m)

I built a big glass roof in the Nagano city. Nagano has many mountain and nature. On the other hands, around the main station, there are many houses and many people live in this area. So, I think that this location is suitable for this project .

The size of the glass roof is about 60mĂ&#x2014;10m. Under this roof, there are 10 houses, a stream, a path, a shopping district, and a side walk. This roof can be draw people's activity.

40 (m)

The big glass roof is transparent to light. So, it don't lose a sense of daily, but it vary their daily life .

The roof refract the ordinary view. This urge them to discover in daily life and leads to go out frequent.

But each housing is bigger than orginaly ones. Big one housing has ten rooms for ten families. And each rooms are very charactaristic. One of them like an attic, other one is like a stairs. This big house is made up by ten rooms which compose ordinaly house. In this, people will communicate like a famiy.

Each houses has a lot of rooms.

You can know there are many houses in this from outside because of how to make the window.

There are many rooms in the big house .

“Antipodas” means “the opposite of the Earth” in Spanish which used in Argentina. In September 2009, the exhibition and symposium about Japanese architectures took place in Buenos Aires in Argentina, , the title was “Antipodas”. And that time, our teacher Taku Sakaushi was inveted to the symposium. In addition, in Octorber 2010, our labratory held the exhibition, symposium about Argentinian city and architectures and design workshop by the united efforts of Robert Rafael Busnelli who is an Argentinian architecture. Through these, we could know about the culture, city, and architecture of Argentina, which is “the opposite of the Earth” and we thought about context of city from understanding about the character of Argentinian city.

Roberto Rafael Busnelli Roberto Rafael Busnelli was born in Argentina in 1966. He studied architecture at Buenos Aires university . Now, he plays an active role in not only Buenos Aires but also all over the world. He took place workshop with a lot of architects-Peter Eisenman for instance, and he is charge of a curator, for example, at the 2010 architecture biennale in venice, he worked as a semi-curator.

This is the group work for the WORKSHOP. The purpose of this subject is that to make a pavilion that considering the context. In addition, We should make a model with only "paper". We wanted to make a pavilion which people can use the park more freely. So, we built like a bridge.

SITEPLAN S=1:800

? We think that different kinds of materials makes different character of space and these space sparate each other. We recognize that topography makes space.

But we hope people who vsit this park use it freely. So we decided that we built an pavilion which tie each other.
