代田的町家

Machiya in Daita, Tokyo, Japan, 1976

代田的町家,是以"如何将封闭的箱体打开"为主题而展开的作品。它并非是等级性房间的嵌套,而是采用了房间并联所形成邻接关系的空间配置。房间的性格并非籍由用途而是由各房间之间的关系来确定的,并且使用了"主室""室""间室"等名称来命名各房间,甚至连深入内部的内院也被称为"外室"。在外形上,双坡屋顶的"家型"首次登场。其下半部的轮廓有些许突出,将立面的虚构性带到了人们的面前。

Machiya in Daita expands upon the theme of how to open up a"closed box".As opposed to the(vertical)stacking of rooms,the house adopts a spatial arrangement in which rooms are linearly arranged.Room names-"main room","room","connecting room",and so on-are designated not by their function,but through the perception of relationships between them.Thus the"outer room",too,is a room where the interior en-croaches upon the courtyard.
