Summary of "Slit House"
1. The slit is our challenge to "window". The slit is an innovative method to compose architecture.
2. This house has no window. The house is perforated by slits instead of windows. The wall with a total length of 105m has 60 slits.
3. This house achieves its architectural quality "only" by the slits. No other architecture has ever been realized by such method.
4. This conceptual sculpturing by the slits proposes another design method to contemporary architecture besides glass-heavy one.
5. The slits bring not view from outside but light into the house. It is an answer to live in dense city.
6. The site is located in an old city in Japan. The narrow and long site is enclosed by the wall that is opened by the slits.
7. The slits make us more sensitive to light. The interior space is light beyond our expectations.
8. The light through the slits varies its appearance momently.
9. The light through the slits reminds us our sense of nostalgia in Japanese spatiality and has an aesthetical quality as like a contemporary art.
10. This architecture has a silent ambiance just like in the midst of solitary jar and a poetic clearness as like in an endless spatiality.
