Transition from Japanese Family of blood relationship to FAMILY2.0

Now that the modern family has collapsed in Japan, it is necessary to reconsider the community to deal with various problems. Therefore, I will design a future housing complex that maintains the framework of the usual family and design a community with others rather than a blood family.

Although the family defined by blood relationship is in fact collapsing, we are unable to escape the illusion of a defined framework. Now that the modern family has collapsed in Japan, it is necessary to reconsider the community to deal with various problems. Therefore, I will design a future housing complex that maintains the ethnic Chinese framework, but builds a community with others, not blood relationships.

To design a future home, research predicts four future family images and defines them as family 2.0. The typology of the four families is The type composed of n individuals, The type composed of missing family and individual , The type composed of n families , The type of polygamy and propose the share space of the Families 2.0 , Urban park ,convenience store , loggia , fitness space . These architectures are a type of brainwashing using the architectures designed to live with others. ・ Urban park The low-rise part designed a landscape space that connects the outside people with the people inside the housing complex. In other words, this is a platform that connects the city with this space. ·convenience store Here, the single person and the convenience store space are closely related. The true family, independent of the combination, is located one floor above and maintains a certain distance. ・ Loggia This space is an arch corridor space, which allows a wide variety of families to interact without backrounds and enhances the strength of the entire apartment complex as a community. ・ Fitness space A bathhouse is located in the central core space. Here, people with diverse backgrounds are able to get involved without having to worry about being naked. And these are connected three-dimensionally by the grand stairs in the center, and promote fluid movement. This apartment house is a kind of thought experiment. I think it's dystopia, but in Japan from now on, dystopia where the family 2.0 that emerges from the absence of the community has emerged rather than the dystopia-like future in which the number of single people has increased and the social structure has collapsed. These architectures are a type of brainwashing using the architectures designed to live with others.
