01. TAKASAKI MEDIA-TECH CENTER | “TAKTECH”

Location: Takasaki, Gunma, Japan

36° 19’ 16.71” N , 139° 01’ 02.84’’ E

As determined by the practice involved by the Ise Grand Shrine, dualities of temporal traditions are strongly considered in existing Japanese culture; such is seen in the program for a media-tech center, constructed of wood. Particularly, the curvilinear eaves of an ancient pagoda, and the contemporary ‘motherboard’ seen in computational technologies, are two elements that are employed to determine the form of the project.

In this design, the media-tech center’s layout revolves around a central arrangement of localized landscape elements. A surrounding circle of technologically-infused and media-curated spaces appears to enclose nature within its boundaries. Consequently, the architectural implementation not only incorporates technology but also safeguards the very nature essential to its progress—an implicit statement.

The immensely spiritual and culturally rich undertones of TakTech’s design proposal inspire the exploration of beauty through materiality, form, and light. These rendered experiences vividly depict pivotal moments where such beauty thrives. Importantly, the wood-screened facade accentuates the strategic use of transparency through its porousness and verticality.

02. ENGAGING THERME | BATHING IN VALS

Location: Vals, Switzerland 46° 37’ 18.48’ N , 9° 10’ 52.11’’ E

Modularity was a key factor in performing the design of the bathing facility. To construct the floor plans, the component selected from the initial parti was deployed through rotational symmetry. One module became three; and then it became one again. Organization of the program was then accomplished through spatial proxemics as analyzed between one module and the next. Moments that engage the earth and the sky are a focus of each individual bath.
