METABOLISM SUSTAINABLE
IMPERMANENCE-removable ,interchangeable capsules DETAILS – detailed connections METABOLISM MATERIALITY- pipe work , ductwork were not hidden SUSTAINABLE RECEPTIVITY- building ready for change

PHILOSOPHY OF SYMBIOSIS
INTERDEPENDENCE New way of interpreting today’s culture- Philosophy of ‘both – and’ not ‘either-or’

Response to site Site part of Tokyo’s Aoyama Cemetry +
Down town Roppongi (famous for nightlife) Fragment of former military base +small park preserved Initial concept – building in lush +turfed overroof NACT(National art centre ,Tokyo) wanted relief from urbanism Lot of development in last decade Building in forest –atrium sorrounded by trees
15
Philosophy involved Great art and architecture needs to be fuzzy ,if not like a factory Fuzziness makes building natural in its own way . Fuzziness- wavy line of façade-melodius surface of waves or hills – harmonius but not repetetive. Inside –dancing around cones Outside-response to trees and wind-surface backdrop to park

Philosophy of symbiosis
1 ) Inside and outside 100% transparent from inside but cuts all UV rays. Ambiguity between inside and outside created by use of ironwood floor extending outside.
18
2) Nature and technology
Bamboo garden at rooftop Optical fibre for display of real and virtual images 3) Modern and primitive Wicker finishings Ironwood flooring –gives primitive and aged look
