THE SYMBIOSIS OF ARCHITECTURE

Team I work and photos by Katsuhisa Kida; with thanks to the The architect ar. yukio asari is of the opinion that the finest architecture is that which works in harmony with the environment, nature, culture, and climate of the location in which it is constructed, with the primary focus being on livability and individuality. Many distinct interpretations of the link between man and building may be found throughout the field of architecture. ar.yukio asari, who works for love architecture, designed a structure in syogoin that may be viewed as a public–private interaction in two unique dimensions: (1) a dynamic strategy to activate the public and private by new borders, and (2) a static approach to being public. The building’s exterior is designed to seem like a sandbank despite its location on a city block that is sandwiched between a freeway and a commercial strip. The building is a tall and lofty structure that is encased with bonded and spaced out bricks. It communicates directly with the general public via a lengthy public passageway that links the northern and southern extremities of the tiny town using a 20 percent floor cover. The construction has two entrances, one on each end of the building. Two winding stairs link four residential blocks, each of which is centered on an atrium that is open to the sky. By spatially making the staircases and balconies in the pass-through passage area, an option to pass by or a dynamic for meeting various people is simultaneously created. These people include passersby, shop visitors, shop workers, people who leave or arrive at the residences, and residents who stay on the balcony. In addition, the passage area serves as a place for residents to congregate. The enormous gaps in the openworks of the privacy-protecting brick walls that run down the streets are the sole evidence that the tunnel passes through to the next street. These kinds of alterations to the connections on the outside are likewise helpful for the inside. Each dwelling has two distinct kinds of openings: one looks towards the street and has openwork bricks and aluminum sashes, while another faces towards the pass-through passage and has wooden sashes. Both sorts of openings have different purposes. The former blocks out the chaotic townscape while allowing dot-shaped lights to flow through, similar to the way sunlight looks when it is diffusing through leaves. In the meanwhile, plaster walls can be seen around the latter, and beyond them, discolored bricks, rough joints, plated metal handles, curtain pipes, and other such things can be seen. “One day, the town will be home to a structure that, by manipulating the borders of the building, manages to coordinate all of the interactions that exist between inhabitants, users, and even pedestrians and vehicles. According to the architect’s point of view, genuine publicity will emerge “when high quality people assemble.” Please visit globalhop.indiaartndesign.com in order to see the photographs.
