At the edge of all reason, will find this project demonstrates an extreme love for naturaleza.Un wonderful project, with a clear idea, clear and strong, carried to its ultimate consequences for its author, lives and works there. A building where the rapport between man and nature becomes fragile, but true and direct:
Workplace close to the scent of spring flowers.
Shade in summer to work in the office.
Autumn leaves falling in bed upon waking.
Warm winter sun, warm reaching the ground.
The current ceiling, the clear clouds.
The sound of rain from the ceiling Zaazaa.
Summary ceiling, cloudy screen
Sunroof and snow is white and soft
Disappearance am seeing stars
.../...
Lying on the ground with tree roots
Decomposition of water into oxygen
Tent to protect from the rigors of concrete
.../...
kindness, weakness.
A workplace whose occupants can smell the scent of spring flowers, gaze at clouds and stars, and listen to the sound of rain and leaves falling.
Sumiyoshi House is the contemporary paradigm of the Japanese attitude to relations with nature. The ground plan of this tiny residence by Takasi is so basic that on rainy days you need an umbrella to get to the bathroom. A sacrifice rewarded, however, by the possibility of observing the sky and listening to the presence of nature. Similarly, in Tenjinyama Atelier, the hard earth that serves as a floor does present one or two snags. But here again the inconvenience is repaid by the possibility of growing plants and trees in it.
Atelier Tenjinyama is really an experiment. Research that leads to limit the relationship between man, nature and architecture. His idea is that there must be a relationship between both artless and let each work its way, let the architecture matures without care, like a child grows.
The catastrophe that hit Japan on March 11 joined natural and artificial phenomena that will affect long-term ecological consciousness of the Japanese people. The perception of the evolution of nature is already a factor. The nuclear threat has led to a change in the wind, the breeze can send radiation. In his article for Domus, Matteo Belfiore commented: "What is the role of eco-design? for me it means living comfortably for a long time, while minimizing damage to the environment", he replies. "This construction may not perhaps satisfy efficiency, but it is tied to the force of nature. It involves a change of attitude. For example, instead of using a low energy bulb, we prefer to look at the light of the sky from a dark room".
