  1. PLANE AND HOUSE

    Architect: Koh Kitayama & Architecture Workshop
    Location: Tokyo, Japan

    small plot

    located in populated area in Tokyo

    facilities from home and office

    zoning restrictions – exact square constructions

    rigid-frame structure

    supporting columns inside

    glass in ceiling for natural light

    household fixtures open and close according to climate and season

    materials: timber,
    IBR sheeting,
    glass,
    steel beams,
    metal sheets

    HOUSE IN DAZAIFU

    Architect: Hiroyuki Arima
    Location: Dazaifu, Japan

    natural views and light

    more focus on occupants of spaces than function

    combination of spaces by views, wind and light

    spaces relate to exterior

    two boxes on site linked with natural path

    manipulate light by changing open able partitions

    interior can be separate from exterior

    interior spaces has no concept of a room

    box forms a large room
