“designboom” 紹介文
in its prime, ‘sanno mansion’, was a cutting-edge rental apartment with rare technological devices such as telephone switch board rooms and elevators. situated in hakata-ward, fukuoka, japan, the exterior aesthetic of shiny black tiles contrasted the built-up area of low-rise wooden houses. 40 years had passed, and eventually, the complex dilapidated, falling into a negative spiral of decreased occupancy rate, reduction of rent, and declined revenue. everyone felt that it had no value with an dingy, aged-contemporary style. observing these conditions, nano architects asked itself: ‘but, does the decrepit interior truly have no value?’ in japan, it is common belief that the value of a structure falls with time, but seeing the potential of this site, the studio renovated it into the ‘times resuscitation building’.

in regards to the personality of the mansion, yasuhiro shinano says, ‘I may say that it is the intention of the creator to reflect the expression of the era. the room 407 in sanno apartment had the personality as such.’ he believes that this ambiance is generated by fickle public culture that comes and goes over the time, leading to loose classifications in regards to ‘new’ and ‘old’. to restore the structure and bring back traditional concepts of japanese architecture, driftwood was selected to symbolize a sense of historical significance. its expansive use recreates voids, shelves, and benches in tune with nature. other features such as the translucent paper screens of the shoji dividers, and the tatami room floor panels have also been brought back to life.

「the times transplantation building by nano architects」
http://www.designboom.com/architecture/the-times-transplantation/
以下、「designboom」の紹介文です。

an abandoned japanese building from 1967 has been revived by japanese nano architects using a ‘transplantation’ method.
the original structure has undergone a metaphorical surgical operation – preserving the nostalgic elements of the architecture.
the internal spatial fabric has been characterized by classifying three different sections within the plan, highlighting
rudimentary industrial features such as exposed pipes and oli supply systems.
the renovation restores the legacy of the traditional japanese-styled quarters – providing a space that contrasts the early interior architecture of the late 1960s.
