HOUSING COMPLEX NIIGATA III

HOUSING COMPLEX NIIGATA III is constructed by stacking units to express both the human scale and density of the nearby old row houses.  The urban scale of columns and beams within the human scale of rooms give residents an awareness of the neighboring dwellings, reminding them of their connection to the collective.  In recent years, with rebuilding progressing and old buildings in this area being lost, we envisage this structure as archival architecture, inheriting fragments of the historical cityscape and expressing memories in the future.
