STATEMENT I believe architecture contains time.

Time leaves traces on buildings. It deepens their value, enriches their atmosphere, and gives meaning beyond their physical form.

The longer architecture exists, the more layers of time become embedded within it.

My question is whether this relationship with time can already be designed from the very beginning.

Through different methods, I attempt to inscribe time into space. Sometimes this is achieved through reused materials that carry memories of previous lives and transform reality into something unfamiliar.

Sometimes it is expressed through complete and timeless forms that evoke an infinite duration. At other times, it emerges through the deliberate ambiguity of material density and perception, or through structural forces that create a fleeting moment detached from ordinary reality.

These strategies are not aesthetic gestures alone. They enrich the fundamental role of architecture by allowing people to experience not only space itself, but also different dimensions of time.

I see architecture as a medium capable of making time tangible.

Reuse Window Columns The project understands the transformation of the existing building not as an outward expansion, but as the creation of spatial depth. Its starting point is the historic urban structure of Winterthur, where the clear relationship between inside and outside gradually disappeared during industrialization.

Window columns create a new spatial layer between the building and the city.

They provide orientation, encourage social interaction, and reinterpret the boundary between inside and outside. At the same time, the existing structure is largely preserved and adaptively reused with minimal intervention.

The project is based on three key principles: 1) Spatial depth instead of spatial expansion 2) Transformation of the existing building through minimal intervention 3) The layering of different time periods to create a new architectural identity The façade is therefore understood not merely as a building envelope, but as a spatial and structural element that connects the past, present, and future.

Gleichzeitig versammeln sich Menschen, diskutieren und treten miteinander in Beziehung.

Heute lässt sich in Winterthur trotz seines Wachstums teilweise ein Verlust an räumlicher Identität beobachten. Viele Entwicklungen orientieren sich an einer Ausweitung nach aussen. Darin sehe ich die Möglichkeit, den Blick wieder auf die Qualitäten des Inneren zu richten.

Anstatt sich immer weiter nach aussen zu öffnen, kann die Stadt durch räumliche Tiefe an Charakter gewinnen. Die Stärkung innerer Räume schafft nicht nur Identität, sondern fördert auch soziale Beziehungen. Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Fähigkeiten und Interessen können innerhalb einer Gemeinschaft engere Verbindungen aufbauen und dadurch eigenständige Entwicklungen hervorbringen.

Wände und Decken werden nur dort verändert, wo es notwendig ist. Bestehende Stützen, Eingänge, Treppen und Fenster bleiben weitgehend erhalten und werden für eine neue Wohnnutzung weiterverwendet. Insbesondere in den Geschossen 1 bis 3 entsteht dadurch eine ressourcenschonende Transformation des Bestands.

Die Aufstockung übernimmt dieselben räumlichen Qualitäten und führt sie weiter. So entsteht ein wirtschaftliches, rationales und gleichzeitig vielfältiges Wohnkonzept.

Eine dritte Zeitebene Während unserer Seminarreise nach Belgien haben mich die Arbeiten des Architekten Marcel Raymaekers besonders beeindruckt.

Seine Projekte nutzen bestehende Materialien auf neue Weise und setzen sie als räumliche Elemente neu zusammen. Dadurch entstehen Formen und Räume, die in konventioneller Architektur kaum möglich wären.

Für mich eröffnet dieser Ansatz eine dritte Zeitebene.

Es geht weder um eine nostalgische Rückkehr in die Vergangenheit noch um einen direkten Blick in die Zukunft.

Vielmehr werden Elemente unterschiedlicher Zeiten miteinander kombiniert und in einen neuen Zusammenhang gebracht.

Durch diesen bewussten „Zeitfehler“ entsteht eine neue räumliche Qualität. Architektur wird zu einem Ort, an dem Vergangenheit, Gegenwart und Zukunft gleichzeitig erfahrbar werden.

Fenstersäulen als räumliche Tiefe

2.OG

Theaterstrasse

Diese räumliche Tiefe wird im Projekt durch die Fenstersäulen erzeugt.

Sie bilden nicht einfach einen Puffer zwischen Innen und Aussen. Vielmehr werden die Fenster selbst zu räumlichen Elementen. Durch ihre ungewöhnliche Ausrichtung entsteht eine zusätzliche Schicht zwischen Gebäude und Stadt. Blickrichtungen werden gelenkt, Räume erhalten unterschiedliche Orientierungen, und die Grenze zwischen Innen und Aussen wird neu interpretiert.

Dadurch entstehen nicht nur Beziehungen zur Stadt, sondern auch neue Verbindungen zwischen den Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern. Die Fenster werden zu Vermittlern von Gemeinschaft und Kommunikation.

A Resonator for Wood The project organizes the regional use of wood—from harvesting and processing to utilization—into a coherent spatial system. By shortening transportation routes, it enables a local material cycle where regionally grown wood is processed and utilized on-site. The project focuses on the following key points: 1) Supplementing the missing processing steps: primary cutting and drying 2) Creating a continuous and safe material flow on a unified floor level 3) Designing a studio with a visitor path adjacent to the production lines Although it is an industrial building, the continuous transformation of wood is accompanied by sound, vibration, and time. These elements are architecturally integrated into the design. The entire building acts as a "resonator," while the studio functions as a spatial instrument for listening, allowing visitors to observe and understand the work processes from a safe distance.

29 Wooden Spirit House

Wooden Spirit House This design was based on a video of an existing wooden frame that once existed in Tokyo Gaienmae, which was used in Ryoji Suzuki's "Absolute Site" (1987), as the only documentation of its existence, and was designed with the actual construction in mind. I selected this legendary work, which has formal similarities with the absolute site but 1-3 is little known due to its brief exhibition only, as a stage to output my past research while exploring its possibilities in the modern age.

To give an overview, in 1987, a wooden house was demolished and a new building was constructed on the site, a common scheme in the modern era. Ryoji Suzuki decided to call a halt to this plan, and instead of destroying the house, he demolished it, leaving only the wooden axis intact, in an attempt to rewind the act of construction. He then placed metal wires for the purpose of a short-term earthquake-resistant structure, and inserted glass panels of six-thirds glass on the first floor only, using T-shaped steel bundles in key places throughout. Afterwards, the glass floor was broken with a hammer in front of a crowd of people who were attracted to the architecture without knowing the specific intent of the project, and this was captured on video. This goes beyond the meaning of the architecture and leads us to various speculations. 私は今回、卒業設計をまとめる上で、5 つの別の作品として扱い、1 つの作品に対して、様々な語り口で説明することを試みた .

それは、1 .

Like “Absolute Site,”つの道すじを辿って説明できる作品ではなかったこと、今回題材に選んだ敷地の性質が深く関わっている I dare not use explanations, but rather attempt to convey the work through the medium of . photos, drawings, stories, 違った方法で同じ作品を説明しているため、読む方はどの媒体から読んでも問題ない Theory, and research materials. I was fascinated by the fascination of the design and its strong message in a single 21:08 video. Although it may not be as powerful as this overwhelming work, I hope that it conveys the unspoken enthusiasm of a person who has devoted four years to designing.

Also, although this love will never reach the author of “Absolute Site,” Mr. Ryoji Suzuki, co-creator Kyoji Takubo, and all the other people involved, I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt respect to them. 建築論壇

fig.3 ——Gagaku Notation While referring to Western musical scores and graphic notations, I notated the piece sensitively using my absolute pitch sense. Although I was able to show the music as figures, it was difficult to express the dissonance and one-time nature of Gagaku, which are its unique characteristics. It was revealed that the fixed information medium of diagrams was not suitable for this project.

Note 2: Although Goethe/Hegel is mentioned here, it is said that E. P. Fenollosa originally described the rhythmic beauty of the eastern pagoda of Yakushiji Temple.

This common phrase has been used by many later commentators.

Note 3: Cliché (French: cliché, pronounced [klɪ'ʃe]) refers to a phrase (common phrase, cliché), expression, or concept that has lost its intended force and novelty as a result of overuse. In music, a cliché is also a change of one of the component tones by a semitone or whole tone when the same chord is played for a long period of time.

Note 4: In ancient Greece, Pythagoras discovered that chords could be generated by dividing a string into simple integer ratios. Plato also visualized the relationship between sounds in terms of length. Some of the melodies of music are the same as those of architectural order, and we can sense the relationship between the two.

Note 5: Classical music is a broad term, but there are many different types of music. The classical music I am describing here refers to hymns such as requiem, which are played in churches and other places of worship.

Note 6: "Gagaku" refers to ancient Japanese ceremonial music and dance, music and dance introduced from the Chinese continent and the Korean peninsula during the 400 years between the Asuka Period (when Buddhism was introduced to Japan) and the beginning of the Heian Period (794-1192), and music that was adapted to Japan's own style in the Heian Period (794-1192), which is now performed mainly by the Imperial Household Agency. It is now performed mainly by the Imperial Household Agency. It is also highly regarded abroad as world classical music.

Note 7: Notation using a specific symbol or sign. A notation system in mathematics, a notation system in music, and so on.

8: A method of transmission from master to pupil by oral tradition without notation. A performance is symbolized and vocalized into a song.

In the West, brick and concrete are the main materials, which have a longer service life and are less frequently renewed. Comparing the West and Japan, we can see that the awareness of building longevity is quite different, although there is a dry/wet difference. Through the parallel trial with sound, we have learned that Japanese people have long held the value of accepting the deterioration of architecture as a good thing, rather than simply destroying it. If this is the case, it is understandable why Japanese people would want to breathe life back into buildings that would otherwise be destroyed through music, transforming them into once-in-a-lifetime entities.

In other words, all the existing wooden frames in Japan that are omnipresent had all the potential to be shown as a work of this time, but by showing their completion in a way that overlaps with what Ryoji Suzuki tried to do in 1987, they will be imbued with a stronger message. In addition, the strong link between the idea of the absolute site and the present study is also due to the strong link between the design of the present project and what the architects of this period have felt.

Note 13: To give an overview of the project, there was a common plan in 1987 to demolish a wooden house and build a new building on the site. Ryoji Suzuki decided to challenge this plan, and instead of destroying the commonplace house, he demolished it, leaving only the wooden frame intact, in an attempt to rewind the act of construction. Metal wires were placed for the purpose of short-term earthquake-resistant construction, and six-thirds glass plates were inserted into the entire structure on the first floor, with T-shaped steel bundles used in key places. Afterwards, the glass floor was broken with a hammer in front of a crowd of people who were attracted by the architecture without knowing the specific intent of the project, and this was captured on video.

Summary - The auditory world and narrative plurality as a process connecting After that, based on research from a comparative artistic viewpoint, the culmination of a year of thinking about matters in the aural world led to a design using the existing wooden frame as the site, with the help of Ryoji Suzuki's "Absolute Site". The research process up to the output of the project has been described in chronological order. The final output is shown below (fig. 8). We believe that the need for recognition of existence beyond the visual sense, which is also the title of our research, is a very important topic. This is because today, due to the increasing complexity of media and the improvement of information transmission technology, many people are connected to their daily lives solely through the medium of sight. At first glance, we often feel that it has become more convenient to have access to a great deal of information at once, but I feel very uncomfortable with the current situation and feel that it makes life difficult. This is because we are now filled with visual information in the form of photographs and images, and I feel that the five senses that we used to use in our daily lives are becoming less and less useful.

In my research to date, I have focused on the relationship with hearing, but what about other sensory organs? In the course of this research, I focused only on the auditory sense. However, this would mean that the auditory sense would replace the hege-

1-3

mony of the visual sense, and over time, the auditory sense would again become crippled. So, what we should be aiming for is not a world occupied by the sense of hearing, but a space in which the various sensory organs can be activated. Nevertheless, it could be said that the final output was aimed at the auditory world, but in such a way that other organs are also aroused. I think it is wonderful that there are so many different ways to tell the story of one work. I would like to think about this again in

Object（tin wall）

The roof should be shaped around the wall columns so that forces from the surroundings are concentrated on the wall columns.

By making the shape of the roof invisible from the outside, it looks as if it is floating in the air from the outside, and the separation from the ground is measured.

▲Empty the interior side wall and explore the emotions of perceiving a tin wall from a white wall.

▲Color of the coated charcoal seen from the interior/ influence of natural light

Colors and Materials By analyzing the change in color of charcoal paint over time and linking it to the change in color of architecture over time, we imagined a future in which architecture would continue to develop, centered around people from local factories.

The river is represented by three 6-meter walls.

The magnitude of the activity is created by the relationship between the walls and the rooms, and the aim is to create an architecture that blends in and fits in with the local community.

The river is very well integrated into everyday life.

In Musashino City, greening is progressing around the Tamagawa water supply, and I felt that the formation of a community is being measured there.

I reinterpreted the many temples that exist in this area, incorporated their sacredness into the lifestyle, and created a space on a small site where people can live through the five senses, including air flow, weather, nature, and smells. The basis is to overlay a cross-section of a Japanese temple.

Basic design of Pontresina Station D u r i n g t h e c o m p e t i t i o n p h a s e , I c o n d u c te d a s i te v i s i t . C o l l a b o r a te d on the renovation planning of the RhB Pontresina train station, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. I considered how to position the main uses, including the necessar y additional functions (kiosks), within the historic building, what accessibility issues have arisen so far, and how it will be used in the future.

(We were also asked to build a new hostel. Two other employees were responsible for this.)

I was also responsible for visualizing the design in the final phase. We created a 3D model, created an axometric diagram based on it, and produced drawings that show not only the interior of the building, but also the activities in the surrounding area and its future use.

I was in charge of renovating the station. Designed in 1906-07 by Otto Schäfer and Emil Sulser, the building had a strong symmetry and a unique atmosphere that combined various styles specific to the region. What was required was to expand the functions that had been performed in the previous reception building and place the kiosk that was outside inside. I considered using various drawings to give it a new function while maintaining its architectural value and with minimal demolition, and to further enhance the beauty 2-1 of this contrasting building.

Study on the organization of functions for the renovation of the station building ground floor

I limited the design to EG alone. I visited the site many times and calculated where people would pass through and where there were fewer people. As a result, I decided to make a hole in the wooden decoration of the room in the southwest corner, which is currently the rest area, and move the other walls as far as possible without causing any structural problems. This resulted in a design that is more symmetrical than before and can be used efficiently by people.

Interior work for "Balt" Asagaya Bar I was in charge of this project at Nihon University’s Furusawa Daisuke Laboratory. Over the past two years, we have repeatedly conducted surveys and proposals with the client, leading to the final renovation. Our generation carried out the following 1) Demolishing the existing structure 2) Deciding on the final design 3) Construction Although it is a small bar, the existing structure is full of potential appeal in terms of structural design, so we incorporated design thinking into the design, within a limited budget of 3 million yen, to find a way to utilize the existing structure and incorporate it into the design.

The hanging cupboards are partially cantilevered. The counter has a sleeve wall at the bottom to give it rhythm. The thickness of the entire board is uniform. The height of the counter was raised slightly to 770mm to allow for dining in chairs and eye level with the owner.

2 The existing ground elevation was taken over and only the kitchen floor was finished with a differentmaterial.

The client requested a place for books to be placed above the counter. In response to the client’s request for a place to place books above the counter, a stainless steelframed hanging cupboard was installed from the existing ceiling level. The shelves are made of laminated cedar wood, which allows the old and the new to be integrated without losing the balance of the whole.

Exhibition_Archiv eines Hauses We attempt to transform fragments of a house - that is, physical items or "spatial fragments" - into "time fragments" through the medium of photography.

At first, the viewer experiences these “spatial and time fragments” as a series of dotted line-like fragments that have only the connection of being a single house, in other words, as countless unnamed piles of histories.

The viewer then engages in a dialogue by looking again at the some of the pieces extracted from the countless fragments experienced earlier.

At this point, single fragments, which in the previous stage were a series of seconds, begin to take on the appearance of an infinite amount of time defined by the viewer, while the infinite number of fragments from the previous stage are transformed into individual objects that allow the viewer to focus on eath one of them.

By cutting out the fragments and changing the ways in which we consider them space-wise and time-wise, the anonymous and countless histories of the house are archived, taking on new meaning in terms of space and time as they emerge in the viewer’s conception of the house.

We are now part of a collection of points, the near-infinite time that the long history of people and architecture holds.

A record records time, and its size changes depending on the length of time recorded.

It is a black circle, not a square.

A circle has no direction, and makes itself infinite. It is not brown, it is not a square, it is a collection of points.

A photograph is a point that cuts out a part of time, and is physically a square, not white.

Points gather little by little, and become a line, not black, not infinity.

We are not white, and we cannot feel infinity.

Before we knew it, points began to look like ellipses, not black.

An ellipse is not infinity, but this time it is 15. 15 is not white, it is a collection of points.

The collection of points is not black, not a record, it is us.

This time let’ s call it autonomous.

Material: MDF, wooden bar, cardboard. Neither white nor black.

Workshop Marble - Wood This project was a collaborative workshop conducted with USI (Università della Svizzera italiana). We fabricated a series of chairs and tapestries utilizing timber and marble. The concepts and objectives were as follows: 1) Utilizing marble sourced from Cave di Arzo 2) Exploring new joinery methods between stone and timber 3) Digitalizing stone geometries and rearranging them Initially, participants were divided into five teams, each proposing a distinct design. These proposals were subsequently narrowed down to two final concepts, which were then developed into full-scale mock-ups and exhibited.
