Site part of
Tokyo’s Aoyama
Cemetry
+
Down town
Roppongi
(famous for nightlife)
Lot of development in last decade
Initial concept – building in lush +
turfed
overroof
Building in forest –atrium
sorrounded
by trees
Fragment of former military base +small park preservedSlide15
Philosophy involved Great art and architecture needs to be fuzzy ,if not like a factory
Fuzziness makes building natural in its own way .
Fuzziness- wavy line of façade-
melodius
surface of waves or hills –
harmonius
but not
repetetive
.
Inside –dancing around cones
Outside-response to trees and wind-surface backdrop to parkSlide16
Fifth floor planSlide17
Philosophy of symbiosis
1 ) Inside and outside
100% transparent from inside but cuts all UV rays.
Ambiguity between inside and outside created by use of ironwood floor extending outside.Slide18
2) Nature and technology
Bamboo garden at rooftop
Optical
fibre
for display of real and virtual images

) Modern and primitive
Wicker
finishings
Ironwood flooring –gives primitive and aged lookSlide19
