2023 Architecture (The New Black) Winning Projects
GOLD WINNING PROJECT
Hazamacho house by Tatsuya Kawamoto + Associates
In the urbanization control area,rather than prohibiting the construction of buildings, we believe that building for local farmers can curb disorderly urbanization.
This is a one-story house for farmers in rural areas.
The aim was not to be a residence, aimed to become a frame for farmers in this area by building it on this site surrounded by agricultural land.
Architecture (The New Black) Silver Winning Project
Higashitateishi Nursery School by Aisaka Architects’ Atelier
This is a nursery school for 165-kids built in downtown at 0 meters area above sea level.
The architecture contain four overlapping functions that ensure the facility will continue to be loved and used by the community for many years to come: it is a "house" where children can play freely in a setting their instructors and families know it's safe; a "park" where all students can move their bodies and develop their minds; a "school" where they can learn to appreciate the value of life and food; and a "fort" to protect the community during any disasters.
Architecture (The New Black) Bronze Winning Project
House KJ by 1-1 Architects
The architectural design features a distinctive concept where a long and narrow volume is strategically positioned in a north-south orientation, specifically tailored to fit within the unique constraints of the distorted flagpole site. Within this space, partitions are kept to a minimum, creating a seamless flow with a width of 1 ken. The interior is thoughtfully designed with purposeful bulges in different areas, fostering a dynamic and varied connection with the surrounding garden.
