  • MAINTENANCE OF MODERN HOUSING ARCHITECTURE ― Design process to inherit the cultural background of Migishi Atelier designed by Iwao Yamawaki ―

    Ken AKATSUKA, Gaku INOUE, Naoki SAITO, Satoshi SANO

    AIJ Journal of Technology and Design 31 ( 79 ) 1509 - 1514 2025.10

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Accepted,  ISSN  1341-9463

    　View Summary

    The focus is on a design process for inheriting the cultural values of modern housing architecture. While the utilization of existing stock is an urgent issue in contemporary society, there has not been sufficient discussion of attempts to preserve and renovate buildings, especially those that are recognized as having historical and cultural values. This paper describes the repair and renovation of Migishi Atelier (original design: Iwao Yamawaki) and clarifies the specific issues and the design process in the preservation and utilization of modern housing architecture.

  • RENOVATION FOR SUCCESSION OF MODERN HOUSING ARCHITECTURE ― Design process of Shinjuku White House originally designed by Arata Isozaki ―

    Ken AKATSUKA, Gaku INOUE, Naoki SAITO, Satoshi SANO

    AIJ Journal of Technology and Design 31 ( 78 ) 923 - 938 2025.06

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Last author, Accepted,  ISSN  1341-9463

    　View Summary

    The focus is on a design process for continuous succession of modern housing architecture. While many of the houses that have been recognized for their values as modern architecture are in danger of being demolished in recent years, there has not been enough discussion about how to pass on their values while continuing to use them. The aim of this research is to clarify some of the issues involved in passing on modern housing architecture through the renovation of Shinjuku White House originally designed by Arata Isozaki and the subsequent process of its operation.

  • The (im)possibility of interpreting traditional Japanese spatial forms within contemporary architectural practice

    Satoshi Sano, Naoki Saito

    Serbian Architectural Journal 14 ( 1 ) 81 - 110 2023.12

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Lead author, Accepted,  ISSN  1821-3952

    　View Summary

    This paper explores the indigenous characteristics of Japanese architectural space and how this distinctiveness, on a wider spatial scale, can be transferred and reinterpreted within contemporary Japanese architectural practice. One of the identified spatial elements utilised for research is shinden-zukuri, a type of annexe style, which can be viewed as a group of multiple buildings that can be recognised as a single building. In this paper, the researched element is extrapolated, transferred and interpreted within contemporary architectural practice. The examination of said identity, the open spatial form, confirms its widespread utilisation and deep-rooted nature in the mental landscape of the Japanese people. The findings indicate that contemporary Japanese architecture and architectural practice is beginning to reach a fork in the road: whether it can retain its observed spatial identity and resist, or assimilate the current trends suppressing the previously identified spatial values. The overall findings indicate that the condition of contemporary Japanese architecture oscillates between openness and closedness and will require attuning to the changing circumstances if the perceived spatial values are to endure.

  • Addition and renovation of kankyu-tei: Design process to inherit the cultural background

    Sano S., Miura K.

    AIJ Journal of Technology and Design 27 ( 65 ) 384 - 389 2021.02

    Research paper (scientific journal), Joint Work, Lead author, Accepted,  ISSN  1341-9463

    　View Summary

    The focus is on a bottom-up approach to inherit the local cultural background. While the contemporary society is in a structural transition from flow to stock, the utilization of stock is still insufficient, and in particular, attempts to inherit architecture for the next generation are not well discussed in the historical and cultural context. This paper describes the design process of the addition and renovation of “Kankyutei” (original design: Tsutomu Ikuta).
