Tokyo is the city like a downtown as a whole. That is flooded with signs as signboards but each sign can not send information to the city itself. The site is in a residential area that adjoins the biggest downtown in Tokyo. The sign ÒgableÒ lines up along the street as signboards.
¡ Sign & Information
First, let a child draw an image of a house. Most of the children will draw a gable like the one on the left. This means that the triangurar bable represents a typical gsignhfor Japanese houses. However , modern life is impossible to conclude inside this kind of typical house because there are not enough information. It appears just as a symbolic gsignh.
Therefore I trim a corner from this gsignh and try to send information outside towards the urban city so that the house could function as part of the city.
¡ Route & Map
The 20 century was an age to expres. Architects pursuit their style of expression and sometime it even meant the client to act a life inside the house. They tried to place specific elements of function inside the frame or the house, in order to create agRouteh for their lifestyle. The plan of this house is intends to be equarl to the urban city , which means that the client choose their own function from the shelf. The function is just left open for the user to select. Therefore it is equivalent to the idear of agMaph.
¡ In & Out - Stage
The actual operation is to let the client live in between outer space and inner space. This movement will bring in the factor of unbalanced action into space and will create something llike a gStagehinside the house.
This stabe is just a continuation of sequences which differs itself from having to do different activities in a same space like what the modernist did.
