Research Abstract |
This study seeks to understand and re-verify the living environment of Hashima high-rise apartments houses. Hashima so called "Gunkanjima" that used to be a coal mine island in Nagasaki had very high dense living conditions and systematic living administrations. Firstly, in this research, long interviewing for the ex-residents who are already aged are tried to extract their living history. Secondary, autonomous and common-oriented life styles in high-dense environments are clarified even in small living units. Societies possess unstated rules concerning the structure and composition of space in houses. One way of studying these rules is by looking at traditional architecture and determines which spaces are maintained and which change upon the introduction of a new culture. In this analysis, spatial organization in Hashima high-rise apartment houses during the transition is cralified. It was shown that transformation rules exist and regulate the manner through which relationships among spaces may change. Thirdly, by quoting the living history of residents, some directions of on-site exhibition are illustrated.
