Abstract
TWO WORKS BY ALPHAVILLE, JAPAN A variation on the well known Japanese theme of building capsule hotels, constructed from regular sectioned timber columns and rafters placed at fixed intervals between which various functions are located: sleeping, bathrooms, eating and relaxation. Natural daylight being allowed to access the building along its central axis. NISHIOJI CITY HALL, KYOTO, JAPAN Somewhat similar to the project in Koya this building is constructed from a regulated structural system: here instead of using timber sections concrete panels are to be used. Regimenting the use of space and eventual function. The building form is intentionally small in scale, although five stories high, in order to create a direct relationship to the timber framed „Machiya” or „Artisans” timber framed homes found in this part of Kyoto.
