Task 1: Generation analysis 12.1.-19.1. at 10 a.m. (one week)
The students will divide into two students' groups.
Each group gets one generation to be studied from the list below, in the order of size.
The groups will analyse Japanese user generations to architecture (with different values, expectations, attitudes and lifestyles), presumably affecting their tastes of architecture.
The dominant generations in Toyosu area 2045
Each group tries to understand the specific architectural preferences of the generation analysed. Their architectural solution of the library later should then be a best possible creative manifestation of architecture specific for that one generation.
This kind of method can produce socially sustainable and long-lasting architecture, because it is impossible to create remarkable architecture, which wouldn’t be famous during its own time and for the people of that period.
The design method in this course is thus to interpret generational architecture in a high-quality implementation. The execution should be on such high level that it may become timeless - a future classic.
This is about the intensity of the implementation of the generational qualities, based on one generation’s values and style.
Presentation technique:
PDF / Powerpoint, max. 20 slides: mostly visuals; moodboards, etc. Emphasis on findings or guidelines for the use of the architectural library task.
