Unlike doors, these Shoji’s slide back and forth, saving space that a swinging door would take up. Until recently, there was a prevailing public determination to demolish and completely rebuild all problematic areas, but it is becoming more and more evident that a sharp decline is awaiting the construction industry after the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It seems that faded danchi districts will continue reminding us of the tragic fate of this massive social housing project for at least a couple of decades longer. But there are signs of hope as young architects and even big companies such as MUJI are starting to propose regeneration scenarios of various scales. With greater media attention, the situation will hopefully change for the better.




Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga made rural revitalization a cornerstone of his platform when he took office in September. He has pledged to stimulate the rural economy and refocus the government's efforts beyond just the Tokyo metropolitan area. The prefecture of 934,000 people lies on the rugged southeastern coast of Japan. Wakayama City – the prefecture's biggest city and home to about 40% of its total population — is about an hour and 15 minutes from Osaka.
Shoiji has another purpose as a temporary wall which can be opened as wide as possible so that it won’t block the natural light and views of nature. You can replace your current door with this kind of door; it’s a great way to incorporate Japanese style into your home. It is also the best way to save space since your door won’t take a lot of space.
During the renovation works, two small baths on the first floor remain open to visitors , while the rest of the building, including the rest areas on the second and third floors, gets closed. Some parts of the building will be covered up by scaffolding; however, some of the building's sides will intentionally be kept free of scaffolding to reduce the impact on tourism. You can use wood or gray stone tile floor, white wall and brown or black color furniture. Japanese house is generally clean and minimalist, filled with sparse and functional furniture.

It’s a crash course, and over one week teams identify vacant spaces, survey local needs and create plans. Renovation Schools have now been conducted in cities across Japan, creating new retail spaces, hotels, cafes and apartments out of once-vacant buildings. Everywhere from major metropolitan areas such as Tokyo and Osaka to struggling mid-size cities to suburban housing estates, renovated buildings are an evolving niche in the property market, emblematic of the dramatic transformation under way in Japan. The country is shrinking, with a negative growth rate that’s expected to bring its current population of about 127 million down to 88 million by 2065. It’s also an ageing society, and within 20 years over a third of its inhabitants will be 65 or older. As the population shrinks and ages, it is also concentrating into metropolitan areas, leaving millions of suburban and rural homes vacant.
Tokuda and his team converted it into a hodgepodge of new spaces – a community room, small offices, creative work spaces for local craftspeople, a cafe and various boutiques. As well as being a global presence, the Japanese brand retains considerable cachet in its home country, where its simple, utilitarian products are widely popular. As demand for housing grows in Tokyo, renovation companies are on the lookout for people ready to sell.
We will be working together with a Japanese artist and a Dutch artist for 6 weeks from January to the end of February in 2021, in a program that will be a combination of online and offline. First of all, I would like to briefly introduce the activities of AIR Network Japan (hereinafter referred to as "ANJ"). We hold face-to-face meetings, workshops and study groups with AIR operators in Japan on an irregular basis. Our main focus is on AIR research, advocacy, networking and a little bit of archiving and consultancy to share and discuss our experiences. Each of these activities is run on a voluntary basis by members of the AIR community, and although we are making small steps, we believe that we are expanding our horizontal connections.
