Bricalage category
We investigated buricalage at Kamppon 's RT16 and the vicinity and categorized them focusing on materials, Habit and the consciousness of the residents
A type：Changing function TypeB type：Having new function Type
This bricalage had original function, but people change the function to another.
People give just materials to have new function.
C type：Design Type D type：Unintentional Type E type：Adding function Type
People design many things by using these materials around them.
This bricalage have new function when it is made by people who are intention or unintension.
This bricalage have two functions because of people’s wisdom for every day life.

Spatial & Behaviour Mapping
I chose several places where waste activities are high. Then, decided on several items from those places with the highest number of being thrown away and followed their journey. From the mapping, we can also know the actors mainly using and throwing items. We can also learn what action is used on the waste, such as folding, shredding, etc.
Program
Material mapping and building systems are divided based on the transformation and spatial movement of the dominant six materials. It divides into five zones: organic laboratory + smelter machine, workshop area and processed shop, inorganic laboratory, fast food restaurant, and urban farming with kitchen. Each zone connects to a vertical conveyor system that divide into organic and inorganic conveyors
Water Pod
International Joint Workshop 2016 (built)
Location : Sabae, Japan
Tutors : Tohru Horiguchi, Endo Shuuhei, Kazuya Morita, Satoru Umehara
Team : Ni-Chin Tsai, Kim Daeyoon, U-Krit Tepsomboon, Chen Pengfeng, Synn Siveling
The Architectural Association of Nippon initiated this workshop as part of its broad educational projects encouraging Asian architectural communities, especially university students studying architecture and urban design throughout the Asia Pacific region.
The traditional artisan village of Sabae in Fukui Prefecture faces issues related to the shrinking population and the aging society. We decided to have a relaxing space at the local shrine, hoping it could be a place for people to gather and converse.
The shape of the space was inspired by the water droplets, symbolizng theriver running along the village. Using local materials, our group designed a space near the local shrine, at the final destination of the local festival path.
Using traditional Japanese material we collaborated with the local carpenters to learn about traditional japanese joinery and roping methods to construct our pod. The design was published at the local newspaper and ADAN Magazine.

Section A - A Design Development
Healing is a natural process of encountering undesirable conditions in everyday life. Learning from the spirit of Shinrin-Yoku, the Japanese way of forest “bathing,” is a natural healing ritual; our spirit heals when the sublime experiences of the unknown challenge us.
We believe that architecture could enable such kind of healing process by creating the mechanism of “unknown” by manipulating its defining boundaries and affects our sensory experiences simultaneously.
Using a water filter to reuse the water within the facility was one of our proposals to promote sustainability in the project to reduce everyday water use.

An office relocation project for the new Salesforce Tower Tokyo. Gregory Lyon is responsible for specifying Herman Miller items based on the design guidelines from Salesforce US and US design firms.
Salesforce’s design vision, “Future Workplace,” offers workspace and services to support different workstyles for a more distributed ‘flex’ workforce. By researching the user needs, the Salesforce US team created design guidelines for implementing area designation, which then translated into design strategies. From there, the furniture is then selected to answer the user’s needs.

Study Model
Schematic plan & section
Suginoko Nursery school is located in Miyazaki Perfecture, Japan. It aims to build a nursery school that can encourage children to play around freely within the architecture. It mimics the form of mountains as a playground for the children to promote healthy well-being.
The interior has flexible space usage: It can be turned into an event venue when it is not used as a school to promote community engagement in the neighbourhood.

20 Islands is an accomodation facility that creates relaxed time and space in the nature as if spending time on remote islands.
Everyone becomes a naturally different “islands” depending on the boundary between the guest room at the tip of the “branched” road and the environmental elements: water and forest around the site.
We propose a reasonable way to make 20 ‘islands’ where the family and friends spend a special time in Kyoto, Yase area.
Masterplan development:
Based on the Voronoi division, the guest room is divided with the shortest distance of access from the main road and with unrestricted views towards the mountains.
Lakes is then designed to give more privacy of access as well to maintain temperature around the guest room reducing the use of air conditioning.
Unlimited view to the mountains of Yase for every rooms while avoiding direct sunlight to the opening to prevent glare & overheating in the rooms.

3D Sketchup Model
Located in Purwokerto, Indonesia, a city in Central Java , famous for its water falls and Slamet mountain.
We proposed a residential area which acts as a sanctuary and is close to nature. The area’s master plan focused on pedestrians is injected with vegetation to promote a living space near nature.
The housing units are designed with energy efficiency, natural ventilation and lighting.
The combination of wood, concrete, glass, and vegetation on the units creates harmony as if connected with nature.

Vegetation as a unit and road divider
Fountain as a landmark and main road divider
To promote a pedestrian-friendly residential town, we designed a jogging track + park benches.
The use of vegetation also acts as shading on the pavement area.
