EXP2 Final Submission


The volcanic Island is one of the representative landforms in Japan, which can create a corresponding regional environment for the monumental architectures. It is conducive to evoke the sense and atmosphere for the architectural landscape.


The geometric pathway on the waterfall is inspired of the pond elements of traditional Japanese culture. This is also accord with the design concept of Kenzo Tange: based on the geometric form.


There is a tableland connected between these two monumental architectures. It is an ideal space for student activities with a strong flexibility.

 
The aesthetic feeling of the daylight reflections and the openness of the space are shown clearly of the Kazuyo Sejiman’s monument. In addition, dark textures are used in vertical components for create a lighter sense of the floor planes.




Concepts



3 Textures in use
 
Left: Medium   is applied onto interior walls on the horizontal end of the pathway. It only used in the virtical iterior walls for guidance.

Centre: Light   is applied on all edges of the floor planes.

Right: Dark   is applied on vertical components for create a lighter sense of the floor planes as a contrast.

EXP1 Final Submission

Above ground - Jiro Ono - Sushi
Lower ground - Shinya Kimura - Motorbikes
 

The natural environment provides a perfect atmosphere surrounding the architecture. This is significant to inspire the clients when they are working in their workshops.

 
The Hanging canvas presents a touch of delicate craftsmanship. The way how pieces of fabric are being positioned displays the unique aspect of balance, which it reflects Jiro’s philosophy of making sushi.

 

Shinya can transport his motorbikes to the showroom by utilsing the lifting platform located at the centre of the spiral stair.


The bridge on the horizon is connected with the outdoor showroom, which can provide a extraordinary test drive of motorbikes.
