[EN] The traditional and historic roads in Tokyo, the "roji" creates a sense of community between the residents; the difference in scale and spatial organization of the new building disrupts the intimate human scale of the roji.
Take advantage of the height and turn an issue into an opportunity.
Provide a plug-in parasite structure that acts as a social/visual connection to establish a dialogue between the residents of the traditional houses and the modern housing developments.
Preserve and extend the social concept of the roji to draw people’s attention and revitalize the idea of the roji in the context of today’s modern city planning.
