Chofu campus of the Toho Gakuen School of Music
Abstract Project for a music school. Due to the superfluous consciousness of ambient noise and sound insulation, many music college facilities employ a style in which the exterior appears as a closed box and the lesson rooms are lined up along corridors in a jail‐cell‐like manner in the interior. In this project, we tried to break down such an image. By exposing the volume of the lesson rooms to the exterior, small, uneven, courtyard‐like spaces between neighboring rooms were created, and the volume of the building was broken down. As a result, the characteristic “porous” volume arrangement was born. For such adjustments, it was more appropriate to use a new computer‐based method of design that incorporates three‐dimensional feedback loops. The porous figures embed a sense of continuity and surprise, as if one were wandering around a village. This resulted in the creation of rich spaces and enhanced presence as a whole.
