Therefore we thought how trough design FUTURE constructions could be operated, leading to construction and reconstruction of projects that besides having technology and materials that dwell in nature and history of the city, they would connect people to this concept of natural life and style.In the land endothermic bodies of water left by the transformation of the lake links the city and the Biwa Lake from its ancient times to the present day, connecting people with nature.Created through rainwater, two small inner lakes surge like a site-specific biotope ecology in the east and west side, the intension, to create dwells that connect with the natural ecotone of the site, in the east side, planted woodlands nurture, in hopes that in the future it would become a forest, the building in the meantime as interrupted gradations, between the natural and the structure that identifies the building as architecture, as an object.
The building, surrounded by its slabs that are like platforms becomes surrounded continuously by nature. As a result of thinking, wind from Lake Biwa to go through the interior space, and are arranged side by side in succession in the north-south, while changing the angle of the wall of the strip extending from east to west. The structure of the partition walls where built using the primitive and traditional process of plastering and soil. The outer wall of the north-south core, is made by mixing mortar and soil also called German wall which are common in modern architecture of the late Taisho, its the adopted method of Tsukeru on the wall, a Japanese technique that makes possible the appliance of roughed grain sized plaster or soil on the wall, roughing as much as possible, the grain size to make it look as much as possible like Doroyama (wet soil mountain). The finishing of the wall is weak, not homogeneous and not stable, but that will create the opportunity for other people to be involved and participate in the changing of this building. By using plants in this project, we provide a lot of contact through soil, natural light, water, wind, trees; such as sound and smells, these elements specific to the region and incorporated in the architecture, can be perceived by the people that gather in the hotel and aware them to the presence of the ecotone and the transition between building and nature. In winter, the earth floor helps trap heat in the space between the inner and outer layer. Ryuichi Series Of VastCalled Minami Hanada Tomb, the project plays on idea of the Mozu Tombs a series of vast ancient burial sites with distinctive raised mounds that the city is famous for. However, due to zoning laws, the new tomb is purely symbolic. After investigation, it turned out that creating the cemetery in the residential area is legally prohibited at present, said Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects. Instead, the studio approached the tomb concept from a metaphorical perspective. The house, which represents life, has spaces designed for living, while the tomb is an empty or dead space. Rooms are typically based on functions that are the everyday activities of residents, making it challenging to plan blank spaces that do not have specific function, said Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects. The house is unconventional, containing a space that feels dark, and symbolises death. The curving tombs shell was made from a wooden frame filled in with a mix of mortar and earth to create an organic finish. Inside, the 6.4-metre-high empty space is designed to provide a place for private contemplation and reflection. An oculus at the top of structure lets light filter in to the space. A curving bench was placed on the ground floor and small wooden steps attached to the side of the tomb lead to an elevated platform that is level with the first floor of the house. In the middle, a smaller dome conceals the houses bathroom, accessible by an arched door. The main house was constructed from a baked cedar wood frame that creates with an inner and outer layer. Glass walls ring the perimeter corridor, which has a traditional Japanese earthen floor. Bookshelves are built into four corners of the inner wall facing outwards. The glass doors can pull back to open this space to the street. The bookshelf and the ground floor responded to the residents request as they wanted to create a library-like place where local children and other nearby residents could stop, said Ryuichi Ashizawa Architects. There are two rooms on the ground floor, which can be separated or joined together by shoji translucent screen partitions with a lattice frame. The kitchen, with built-in wooden cabinets is at one end, while the living room is at the other. Upstairs, there are two bedrooms separated by a small corridor. Translucent sliding screen doors and walls give privacy while allowing light from the glazed outer envelope to enter. The space between the inside and outside of the house forms a loggia, with a decked floor and a waist-height railing. A galvanised steel roof tops the main house, overhanging slightly at the edges. ![]()
