INTEGRATING OLD AND NEW

Everything new becomes old. Therefore, I do not express the contrast between new and old, but try blurring the boundary between them in order to integrate them into one spatial quality throughout the different dimensions of material, form, order, context, and program.

The renovation revives the building both by changing the big experimental room where the first blow-down type hypersonic wind tunnel in Japan had installed into commemoration hall for the 60th anniversary of the IIS and by adding entrance foyer , which is covered with etched glass curtain wall, transom baｒ of which is made of molded GRC, in front of the hall.
