inspiration for SITE




Rokko Housing One 1983
Rokko Kobe,Japan
Architect: Tadao Ando
Urban, Hillside.Cliff-like massing appropriate to steeply sloping site.



The site for the project . . .


Dong back (camelia) island in Busan, Korea

I have chosen this place because i wanted to have a place where the sun rises from the east and there is a hill with beach in front. Placing the model partly into the hill could hide the space and keep the privacy for the couple. This is also similar to the woman's trapped situation and in contrast to that infinitely opened outside emphasizes her endless waiting.
