In a group of 5-6,we are to identify a building in Asia in a sub-urban context which we intent to investigate through observation and readings on contemporary Contextual Architecture practices and issues in Asia.Based on the selected building, each member needs to conduct analysis on its Contextual Architecture elements.

The building that we have selected is Nishinoyama House, Kyoto, by Kazuyo Sejima.

I have conducted an analysis in several aspects, which are space organization and access hierarchy ,sky line, compression and height ,features related to the form of the building ,building material and systems and image making elements.

Project Part B:Case Study Paper  - Group

In a group of 5-6,using the same building from the Contextual Architecture Study project, we need to identify the specific topic/ issues/significance of study and then define specific scope of study. We are required to generate a good research title that reflects the research intention and specific scope of study, within the framework of Contextual Architecture and significance of study.
