Final Project : Yuji Fukutomi


People, even in the same family, have different interest or have different belief as everyone is different, but at the same time everyone is the same as a human being no matter what colour or where they are from. Sharing their space and their interests/belief with other people will create a strong relationship between them. So the relationship between each individuality is significant in the society. 
 
I stepped back a little bit to remember how we developed living space. We found a space undercover to prevent exposure to rain, and we create a secured and enclosed  space for weathering out. (all the heat and cold, and we finally created community to help each other to survive.
 
The first main concept for my design was to create a community within a private house and respect individualities within a family at the same time. The second main concept was to maximise the flexibility of spaces.
 
By looking at the definitions of external space and internal space, the significance of flexibility in space can be found. Space, e.g. balcony, courtyard or even a green house, should not be simply defined as external or internal. There should be an "in-between" space. For instance, balcony is 40% external and 60% internal, and We always build a wall to separate space into two and call one is external and the other is internal.
