It is thought
that the physical division in one dwelling unit has
lost the correspondence relation with the virtual division
which the contemporary family really needs in Japan,
which already experienced mass consumption society.
The image of the ideal family who relaxes fortunately
in living room does not already have a reality. For
example, it is said that there is about 1 million population
of "HIKIKOMORI (with drawal)" now. Probably,
this problem is related to the urbanized single room
being strengthened by the fixed nLDK system. Especially
the only child of the family of having dual income-parents
may have much time to pass alone the hobby world surrounded
by his things and information.
Based on such a situation, we propose a creative new
dwelling unit for the diversified individual image and
the modern family image. By this dwelling unit, the
family who lives here could choose a suitable division
as them, and then, they could acquire a fluid family
form.
In this dwelling unit, the resident stock their things,
information, equipment, etc. which constitute their
life in the movable shelf-walls of a thin flat format.
And by pulling it out at their own discretion, they
can discover their space. This means building space
with the thing itself, which identify individuals and
families, such as hobby. Various shelf-walls are prepared
there and the resident can update the character of space
by which one is pulled out or how they combine at any
time.
