Text description provided by the architects. Overcrowded spatiality It is a small house for a family of four who is built on the flagpole site surrounded by houses in Tokyo. After the war the field spread in this area became population and land price increased, became the current high density residential area. The flagpole site is the smallest unit of land division. And the house will be divided into even smaller rooms. I started designing with a desire to discover overcrowding spatiality by drilling holes in the grid.

有洞的建筑是第三个。为了创造“高密度风景”，你可以看到很多地方，我设置了公式“空间密度=房间数量/体积”。如果你能在一个较小的空间里看到许多房间，空间密度就会上升。

Building with a hole is the third one. In order to create "high-density scenery" where you can see plenty of places, I set the formula "spatial density = number of rooms / volume". If you can see many rooms in a smaller space, the space density will rise.

在公寓楼(2014)的例子中，我画了4种颜色，以强调每个房间的不同。Ana房子有7种颜色，强调每个房间之间的差异。为了给出空间密度，这是增加空间数量的操作，空间是一个分子。

In the case of Apartment house (2014), I painted 4 colors to emphasize difference between each groop of rooms. Ana house has 7 colors to emphasize difference between each rooms. To give space density, this is the operation to increase the number of space which is a molecule.

洞的形状看上去像墙和地板上的开口。我给你看了下面的数字(无花果)。(孔的形状)。卡梅住宅和公寓楼的孔是多面体的体积，但在阿那房子的洞改变为一个重叠的平面开口，如一个正方形或三角形的墙壁或地板，使它很难识别为一个体积。到目前为止，那些属于三维砂砾的三维孔变成了三维砂砾中自主存在的二维孔。这出现在室内的安娜房子，在交汇点的直线，在墙壁和地板开口。(图。这一点是一个可以看到四个房间的切割面的地方，前、中、后三个深度相邻一个点，而一个高密度的景物压缩体积，是前者的前分母，我可以说是这样做的。

The shape of the hole appears as the set of the opening in a wall and a floor. I show you figures below ( fig. Shape of hole ). The holes in Kame house and Apartment - house were polyhedron as a volume, but the hole in Ana house changes to an overlapping of the plane opening such as a square or a triangle on the wall or the floor, making it difficult to recognize it as a volume. Those which were 3D holes subordinate to the 3D grit so far changed to 2D holes which exist autonomously in 3D grit here. This appears in the interior of the Ana house at the intersection points of straight lines at the walls and floor openings.( fig. interior of hole ) This point is a place where the cut surfaces of the four rooms can be seen, three depths in front - middle - back are adjacent to one point, and a high - density scenery compressed volume which is the former denominator of the former is made I can say that.

这是一种在砂砾中同时建造一个洞的建筑。如果我想营造高密度的风景，两个或更多的空间是否可能重叠，同时存在？它不能在空间中被整合到网格中。立体绘画通过视觉解析将整体分解，多个视点并排放置在一幅图片中。它获得了同时性和透明性，发现了接收者的自由和新的深度。在建筑上，在传统木架的日常砂砾中自主建造的山洞中的风景，可能是建筑中的立体主义吗？

This is an architecture that built a hole simultaneously in the grit. If I want to make high-density scenery, Is it possible that two or more spaces overlap and exist simultaneously? It can not be made in the space integrated into the grid. The cubism painting disassembled the integration by visual parsing, and multiple viewpoints were placed side by side in one picture. It acquired simultaneity and transparency and discovered the freedom of the receiver and the new depth. On the architecture, the scenery in the hole of Ana house that autonomously built in the daily grit of the conventional wooden frame could be the cubism in architecture?
