Tokyo is characterized by an extent of individual constructions interspersed by
large avenues with high-rise buildings. Yoshiharu Tsukamoto, of Bow-Wow Agency,
when theorizing Tokyo urban planning, de nes three different developments
in the formation of the urban fabric: «forti ed village», «subdivurban» and
«commersidence».
Commersidence: This corresponds to a typology combining shopping, living and working. These non planned neighborhoods were created from a residential fabric where houses were transformed into businesses. Japanese culture has integrated the concept of destruction and reconstruction due to cultural and environmental factors. Thus, the average lifespan of a Japanese house is about 30 years. Tokyo is formed and reformed constantly over time. This perpetual renewal makes the Japanese capital city the testing and innovation ground for architecture.architecturale.
In this context, ARCHsharing invites participants to work on a small scale project in Omotesando district, where businesses came to interact with the existing residential structure. The plot with modest dimensions will host a mixed program linking home and workspace areas.
Les membres du jury: Xavier Ros. Co-founder of HARQUITECTES agency. Dikkie Scipio. Co-founder of KAAN ARCHITECTEN agency. Takeshi Hosaka. Founder of TAKESHI HOSAKA A RCHITECTS.
