Topological City2010.11.03 - 2011.02.19Studio Master: Akihisa Hirata

In a single tree, we find a layered structure in which the earth!s crust, the surface of

the ground, the tree, and all of the plants and animals that live in it are tangled

together. By imagining this tree on the fractal terrain of Tokyo!s linked valleys, we

devise urbanscale architecture that will become tangled up with the environment

there.

Japan Tree?

Tangling

Future Lab “Tangling”

It becomes visible in the contour tracing the topography of Tokyo.

Difine a tree-like terrain unit formed by the valleys and ridges as "Japan Tree" .

Topological City2010.11.03 - 2011.02.19

Propose a new city which inherit the terrain characteristics as "JAPAN TREE" at the center of Japan.

The terrain form of the Japan tree is a gentle valley.

The Building in a organic form supplies Japan tree with energy of wind power.

And it indicates a new large building unit as branch of the Japan tree.

[ 20 century and 21 century ]

Topological Indicator

What happens when the spaces separated by

functions is released?

Is it possible to change a defensive architecture

which has emphasized boundary into a acceptant

arcitecture which has loose boundary?

"Topological City" attempt to express a topological

space whose function changes continuously and

seamless.

Topological Spaces

Connect those who were separated each

grid by flow line. Each function is networked

in three dimensions, and the new relation-

ships will be appeared because many

functions interfere with each other.

Flow Line

Buildings had separated the region clearly by

boundaries and everything was surrounded by a

wall until 20th century. In contrast to that, there is

no clear boundary in the topological city. People

extend their individual regions.

Architecture grows by releasing or softening a

boundary.

Boundary

The individual regions is overlapped and shared

where the flow line folded. The buildings might

reduce their floor space if the concept of sharing

become popular. Buildings will become a little

smaller by a gathering and a tangling.

Sharing

Suppose that the traffic in Japan Tree is the personal

wheel mobility.

It is not the usual straight movement but the curved

seemless movement. They keep moving continuously

cuddling to a gentle slope. This movement in the form

of spirograph would enrich various experiences.

The new center, which will connect with the current touristic area, will create a new node in Istanbul.

It aims to revitalize the nearby surroundings by creating further employment and consumption.

Adopting a water purification system into the coast area. Through

pumping up the rainwater on these green buildings, it can clean the

water without energy, and it can create bio-diversity in the city.

The site is in Istanbul, new city.

the place is an end of the bridge in between

the old city which include Blue Mosque and Ayasofya, and is more touristic

and the new city which has the residential area at in the north part.

Now, the construction of Istanbul is very simple-tied,

and the city grows up linearly along the highway and

the tram line.

The way of growing like that causes sprawl and

the gap between a city area and an abandoned

area.

Create a high-density island which is connected to surroundings

by VISIBLE and INVISIBLE connection.

This “Island” contains several city functions such like a consump-

tion, manifacture, dwellings and commerce.

At first, I separated the two volumes to make a border between tourism

and habitation.Using the triangle wall with plural direction, I try to keep

an expanse and to create the place like forest at the same

time,Secondly, at the floor of the hotel, the direction of the openings

avoid the residences.Thirdly, I put the restaurant floor on the top, and

made it transparent by using truss structure to enjoy panoramic view.

This building is composed by those 3 factors.

The material varies with the function. I chose "fragments of Turkish earthenware" and "Turkish carpet" for the floor.

The earthenware and the carpet industry prospers in Turkey.

we can recycle the vernacular product and make beautiful pattern by using fragments on the floor.

Forest of Furnitures2010.10.20Competition “SUPER MINI HOUSE”

By floating furnitures, I thought that a new space will be appeared around it.

The furnitures become free from floor.

Sometimes it will be used as a slab, a small roof or a partition between each spaces.

The floor will become larger, and people will come together there.

A new kind of small space will enrich our lives.

Sometimes, we humans won!t see the things which is visible.

I propose to put the reality of a trivial nature into the architecture. They live with a big nature that

gained only by the architecture.

It transforms the “Invisible” nature into the phenomenon, so-called “House of Function” is .

The boundary of space changes by a wall which goes higher and a wall which goes lower.

At the entrance, It seems that two couples go into each rooms, but actually, its spatial structure changes

inside the walls. A woman will meet another woman, and a man will meet another man in the house.

This is a housing project at the arcade of Sendai city.

Enhance the circulation of the people by making use of the arcade's potential.

The concrete proposal is following;

1.Provide a deck as "Garden" of the inhabitants.

New use systems of the builong and the arcade space will appear from that.

2.Renovate existing small buildings and create new housing space.
