SPATIAL TYPOLOGY OF THE BUILDINGS AND ALLEY SPACES IN KYOTO BASED ON THE RENEWAL AND THE TRADITIONAL TOWNSCAPE ELEMENTS

Abstract

There is livable traditional landscape at Roji where is small alley space in the central part of Kyoto. As the design method for renewal of this kind of Roji, we focus on the Relational Collateral Building System, this paper deals with the Roji space of Kyoto comparing with its suburban equivalent.First, by the comparison between the alley spaces of the new collateral building system application and the old alley examples,we find out the significant difference between them. Second, through the analysis of renewal aspects, we point out that the traditional landscape is disappearing from the alley and their buildings.And third, upon the basis of the spatial typology by the sectional view and the width of alley space, we find that the spatial characteristics of Roji in Kyoto is decided by the spaces between the buildings or beneath of the eaves.
