Project 1 - Displaced Dwellers Final Submission
Drop Box Link
Feedback & Changes
Receiving feedback from Fridays interim presentation i experimented on what the design would be like if i had used 2 containers. The design was very similar but i had to accommodate for 4 people instead of 2. Main changes to the design is moving the living and dining room to a difference space from the bedroom. The Kitchen was also moved to a separate location away from any walkways and entrances. Privacy is still kept by using the high elevated windows.
Overall i think that this design showcases my concept of home more prominently and still keeping my principle of design - Simple & Intuitive Use

Geographic location Japan, Tohoku
Who was affected - Everyone was affected from urban and rural areas of Tohoku due to the strength of the tsunami traveling almost 10km inland. They have been affected by the total evacuation of their home to get to higher ground leaving most possessions behind. They require medical assistance to those who are injured and military aid to find and save people who are lost or require assistance.
Are they urban or rural location - Both rural and urban areas were affected in Tohoku.
What housing existed before the natural disaster?- Single/multi level buildings, Boating houses, apartments.
What are the climatic conditions? -Harsh climate conditions rising to average warm temperatures and reducing to hard cold temperatures.
Do those displaced dwellers have cultural or religious traditions which influence their apparel day to day activities or social interaction?

Studio Week 2 - Concept of Home Refined
Understanding of Home
When sharing and discussing our definition of home Lucas had a more refined understanding of the definition of home in a sense going beyond the definition of home revolving around the ideas of the individual obligation, desires and responsibility.
Discussing and identifying our understanding of home over a period of time (1976-2004) between the two text given, we both agreed that the definition of home where the idea of a physical space was more apparent where as the text from Mallett did not limit its definition but explored different factors that could be included in the understanding of home such memories or the journey.
Concept of Home
The concept of home is a place of familiarity, nostalgia, comfort & ownership. It is a place where you can retreat and return to at the end of the day reinforcing ones personal identity. The concept is not limited to a physical space where you live but can be created through memories & experiences.
Prescribed Reading - Concept of Home
Concept 1
"i feel comfortable and secure. i am at home. sleep comes quickly."
Statement 1
A familiar space you can return to where you are physically, mentally and emotionally comfortable. Venturing away from home you temporarily create different comforts for situations created from the journey. For example someone who is very quiet person but becomes talkative when at home.
Concept 2
"We make our homes. Not necessarily by constructing them, although some people do that. We build the intimate shell of our lives by the organization and furnishing of the space in which we live. How we function as persons is linked to how we make ourselves at home. We need time to make our dwelling into a home. . . . Our residence is where we live, but our home is how we live. (31)"
Statement 2
Home is not restricted to the definition of a physical object or space. it can be constructed through experiences, memories, and the journey. Examples can be childhood memories of activities played in the backyard or a certain event that occurred in a space of the home.
Concept 3
"Source of personal identity and status and/or a source of personal and family security."
Statement 3
Referring to the physical definition of Home were ownership/claiming of a dwelling for example the address of the home. This also transfers to the idea of family security as a safe place to return to for family members.
Mallett, S. (2004). Understanding home: a critical review of the literature. The Sociological Review, 52(1), p 84.

2011 Tohoku Earthquake & Tsunami
The location which i have chosen for project 1 is Japan, Tohoku. In 2011 on the east of japan a earthquake with a magnitude of 9.0, it was the most powerful earthquake to hit Japan. It is now referred to now in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake.
The 9.0 earthquake created powerful tsunami waves which was estimated to reach up to 40.5m high. The wave traveled 10km inland destroying and washing away buildings, vehicles and people.

Comparative Precedent Study - Shipping Container Architecture
Japan currently has a population of 127.6 million to cater for the growing population Japan has developed and adjusted to extremely small living conditions the capsule hotels are a great example of how small and enclosing living conditions can be habitable.
Yasutaka Yoshimura Architects - Ex Container Project
Using 2 shipping containers, Yasutaka Yoshimiru Architects have designed a high quality low costing Housing for disaster relief in response to the 2011 earthquake. Photos shown that the housing looks spacious that could temporarily accommodate a small family.

Sigeru Ban Architects
Using 2 shipping containers as well, Sigeru Ban container housing looks less spacious than Yasutaka Yoshimura design. The main difference that stands out between both designs is a separating wall that divides the Sigeru Ban design. Yasutaka saves cost by using a curtain to divide the habitable areas from non-habitable.
The effect of not having this separating wall gives the impression of greater size when it is open space.
