Thesis Statement, as of Nov 2nd, 2011

As of Nov2nd, 2011
  • Where: Urban Open Space (Ars Electronica Center and/or a specific site: assuming a public plaza where preconception is *bad*)
  • What/Goal: Create, show and prove a several designs which achieve Placemaking: making space to place by action of its users. Change preconception of a space to something significant to be said as a place.
  • Why: Design of urban open space has certain limitation to follow fast changing nature of society and its activities because of its static material, low frequency of renovation and lack of communication with its users in design process. We need something to fill this gap to keep the space active as a keystone of a city.
Fast changing societyが具体的に何をさすのか、その問題にopen spaceデザインがどのように対応できていて、できていないのか。問題においつくスピードが問題なのか。
  • How: Community Art and Design have a concept of  direct participation to compromise these limits of urban design. And activities with the concept are often called Placemaking effort. Designs we introduce in this research also amplifies the concept into action using following two materials and techniques.
    • 1:Lighting and theater lighting technique to change urban space visually in dynamic but temporary sense.
    • 2: To emphasize capability of participation, adaptation and dynamic change, we also use  ICT technology such as embedded/mobile sensors and network to connect altogether.

ああ、そういうアートとデザインがあって、すでに補完してくれていてよかったね、で終わってしまう。

何故この２つの素材と技術が必要なのかが不明瞭。

  • For Whom: Group of end users of the place. Mostly residents and commuters work nearby. If the place coexists commercial activities, visitors/customers are also important.
  • When: ‘Design of evening time’ :when they pass-by, when they kill time and also when lighting has its max value in terms of aesthetics.

  • Solution

Takei

  1. Why Light? and why not Sound?
  2. Why they have to be connected

Tomago

  • How to measure (the effectiveness?)

Meikei

Social interaction & Shared experience

(definition, what is in common and what is the difference)

Sato

Who runs it, Who maintains it?

Jeffrey

In Europe, places where people meet is more or less designated (Socially?)  such as square.

Is there any view for old/elder generation?

Mori

Youjeen

Perhaps better look at Art Funds.

Weak points

1:How do you deal with social capital

  • Can it me measured?

2:(as lee san mentioned) What is the problem?

  • Suggestion: Quality of transit space( as 4th space)
  • ..and I don’t think the concept of 4th place includes Social Capital
  • Architecture/Installation
    • Safety/Control
    • City Structure
  • Public Openness

3:Interaction Design

as Mori san said, Business pertners are needed

住宅は「器」から「場」のデザインへ　コミュニティーをデザインする

 

http://www.asahi.com/housing/column/TKY201107080167.html

　住宅は暮らしの器である。小さな器が集まる集合住宅も、郊外の住宅街もまたひとつの暮らしの器と考えることができる。その器の中で、家族や向こう三軒両隣、そして近隣コミュニティーと共に私たちの日々の暮らしは繰り広げられている。その暮らしの器をデザインするのが建築家の仕事なら、その器の中身にもまなざしを向けて人と人をつなぐ仕掛けも同時にデザインしてみてはどうだろう。その試みを僕は「コミュニティーデザイン」（前回コラム参照）と呼んでいる。

　コミュニティーデザインの目的は、２１世紀の現代生活にふさわしい新しいかたちのコミュニティーを創出し、同時にそのコミュニティーを醸成させる新しいかたちの居住空間をデザインすることにある。

　現代日本の住宅は、耐震、防火、高気密・高断熱仕様、設備技術など、確実に進化し続けてきた。でも、その住まいづくりの在り方は、居住空間という「モノ」としての「器」を技術開発し、特に商品化住宅はそれに表層的なデザインをほどこすことだけでしかなかったように思う。いま、居住空間という「モノ」としての「器」をデザインする以上に、居住空間で繰り広げられる「コト」としての暮らしの「場」を積極的にデザインすることが求められている。コミュニティーデザインは、そのひとつの方途だと考えている。

　「器＝モノ」のデザインから「場＝コト」のデザインへ、それは現代日本人の価値観の変化の表れであり、これからの日本の経済・文化の行方をも示唆しているように思う。特に東日本大震災以降、それは顕著になったのではないだろうか。この夏の猛暑の中での様々な節電方法も「場＝コト」のデザインのひとつだし、人と人の関係のよりどころとしてのコミュニティーへの関心の高まりもその表れだろう。

　僕がコミュニティーデザインを本格的に試みたのは「シティア」という大規模マンション（千葉県我孫子市）の設計監修をしたときで、いまから１０年程前のことになる。「シティア」は、住戸総数８５１戸の巨大な板状形式の高層集合住宅で、もはやひとつの街であり、超高密度な立体都市と言ってもいい。大規模マンションは、主に２１世紀になってから登場する日本の新しいかたちの集合住宅である。
