The project site had been used as a reservoir for rice-farming but some time later passed as a fishing spot. On the site where the life was disappearing, the client intended to build an architectural space that resuscitates the local area through a communicative local culture. Due to the use of the project site as a fishing spot, the topography of rice paddies along the stream remained broken traces.Also, the flow of nature from the southern low hill repeats the continuation of rice paddies and a hill with crossing streams, the large and the opposite small ones. The new architectural space to restore this natural flow puts a solid order on the various spaces organized as masses like rice paddies. Over the spaces weaved as masses were laid the outdoor and indoor elements featuring trees, pebbles, water, the sky, landscape and the like. As result, the intersections between the widthwise and depthwise orders are weaved “cross-spaces.”The cross-space has the possibility of extensions for various programs. It is not a universalized physical space but a differentiated experimental space, which is the meaning of the name “NONSPACE.” That is to say, it intends to be the spatial platform for a local cultural complex created in the private sector, going beyond ordinary commercial spaces.
