AMA House
El estudio Katsutoshi Sasaki + Associates es el autor de esta casa en Aichi, Japón. Nos cuentan la idea de proyecto:
Como el sitio está rodeado de campos de arroz, se planificó "una casa pequeña" en una atmósfera y paisajes idílicos.
El volumen total de la casa se dividió por primera vez en habitaciones individuales, vinculadas a través del jardín y la sala, entrada de la luz, la ventilación, la línea de flujo de las actividades diarias, etc
Cada habitación tiene un volumen, acabado, y aberturas diferentes. Estas diferencias se hicieron para mejorar la experiencia con los elementos mediante la presentación de más de un punto de vista sobre cada uno, por ejemplo, cuando la luz entra por una apertura estrecha, da una impresión diferente el percibir el fino rayo de luz en un lugar oscuro. Estos elementos pueden ser los árboles en el jardín, el viento, la apertura interior, los matices de sombras, y las comunicaciones entre miembros de la familia.
Al abrir la puerta, las habitaciones se convierten en "Una habitación individual con conexiones".
Las habitaciones se expanden en el terreno y funcionan como una casa en su conjunto sin quedar aisladas funcionalmente. Lo importante es que las habitaciones están conectadas. La conexión se forma a través de las personas y la naturaleza, no lo limita la estructura ni el diagrama que marca la arquitectura. Pienso que la arquitectura es algo que actúa como suplemento del "aire conectado".

As the site is surrounded by rice fields, we planned "a small house" that the idyllic atmosphere and landscape.
The entire volume of the house was first divided into individual rooms, their each concept were finally linked together taking account of factors such as connection of garden and room, entrance of light, ventilation, flow line of daily activities, etc. Also, to meet with the demand for a guest parking lot and family garden, we laid out the rooms across the site to secure two exterior spaces.
Each room has different volume, finish, and openings. These differences were made to enhance deeper experience with elements by presenting more than one viewpoint on each element; for example, when the light enters from wide opening, it gives you different impression from the thin ray of light in a dark place. These elements can be trees in the garden, wind, internal openness, nuance of shadows, and communications between family members.
When opening the door, these rooms become "One single room with connections". Although, unlike a general single room, it can not get a view of whole room, one room is visually connected with some and also connected with others beyond by air. Communication is prompted among the viewable rooms by the strong connection of visual element, and with the rooms out of sight by the senses other than visual sense. Subsequently, the light and wind streaming into a room, as well as the act and the sign of the family there are transmitted to the adjacent rooms, and are extended beyond.
The rooms expanded in the site functions as a house without being isolated functionally and spatially. The important thing is that the rooms are connected. The “connection” is formed by the persons and nature, and is not limited within the structure and the diagram of architecture.
I think that the architecture is something that acts as a supplement of the "connected air ".
