This year as well, we had students draw what they envisioned as a traditional folk house in class.

First, with a mental image.

　　

Next, I had them draw it using image search for support.

　　

Unfortunately, there were more students than usual who were absent, probably because the class was held during the holidays.

The day after the graduation presentation, there was a presentation and review session for the environmental design exercise C for third-year students.

The start time was delayed due to printer trouble...

I pray that this will not happen when I submit my graduation project a year from now.

　　

This is last week's story.

A graduation production presentation was held.

In recent years, we have adopted a poster presentation format, in which each individual gives an explanation in front of the exhibited works, and faculty and students are free to look around.

　　

There was a presentation and review session for Design Exercise 4.

This year's main theme is "Terasu".

This year's subtheme was "Use your free time."

There are some ideas that could be commercialized.

Overall, I feel that there were many students who persevered with their initial ideas.

Isn't this a good trend?

　　

In late September, I went to the "lower right corner of Shikoku" for an off-campus exercise.

It was a pretty packed schedule, including visits to Kiragawa-cho and Dewajima Important Traditional Building Preservation Districts, experiencing the world's first DMV (Dual Mode Vehicle), and touring a yuzu processing factory.

　　

　

This year, in class, we had students draw a picture of a typical traditional Japanese house.

In previous years, there are many students who draw Gassho-zukuri style paintings, but this year there were almost no students.

I don't know why.

Maybe it's the effect of fewer opportunities to go out and travel due to the coronavirus pandemic?

Or is it because more and more students don't watch TV these days, so the way they interact with the media has changed?

I tried thinking about it. . .Wakari Masen.

If you look at the roofs, you'll see that there are more tiled roofs than thatched roofs.

The work that received support from students was also a two-story tiled roof.

　　

A graduation exhibition (second half) will be held at the Tsukuba Museum of Art in Ibaraki Prefecture, and there will be an exhibition in the area of ​​environmental design.

The exhibition period is from February 2023, 2 (Tuesday) to March 28, 3 (Sunday).

　　

A graduation/completion exhibition is currently being held at the Tsukuba Art Museum in Ibaraki Prefecture.

A gallery talk was held at the graduation exhibition.

There were quite a number of people, and I felt like we were returning to a pre-coronavirus society.

　　

We held a presentation and review session for Environmental Design Exercise XNUMX.

The challenge was to find a way to reuse an old, vacant old house in Niigata Prefecture as a public facility, as a place for new values.

　　

Looking at the students' proposals, "interaction" emerged as a common theme.

・A space where local people can enjoy music through music

・A space where local people can relax and read books

・Space where efforts can be made to promote migration

They drew each of them.

Hints for future improvement methods that can be gleaned from these

・It may be possible to partially renovate an old folk house without reusing the entire space (the entire space). Isn't it okay to have some parts that you don't want to expand or modify (don't use, leave as is)?

・Instead of assuming that the facility will be used throughout the year, it may be possible to assume that it will be used during the period from spring to autumn when there is no snowfall or accumulation.

・Aren't there things that have utility value other than the architecture itself, such as molded glass?

・In addition to the direction of ``renovating the building,'' there may also be a way to reconfigure the space by inserting ``furniture that makes use of the building.''

There was a harvest of ideas such as these.

There are still many possibilities for ideas for reusing old houses and promoting migration.
