Various places make the students take initiative actions
It started from a proposal for a competition of a dormitory for 200 international students to live together that required “Realization of new community space through living together”. We thought that not only cultures and customs, such as language and dietary, but also diverse backgrounds including personal preferences of each students could become a trigger for communication. We created a space like a small living room which we named “pot” and arranged them in three dimensions inside the huge 4-story atrium. The “pot” is a dwelling scale of 10-meter square footage, each having different shape with different furnitures and finishings. We expect spontaneous encounter inside the common space with various place to stay, where the students spend most of their times. It is a “International dormitory like a city” , where communication between students are not just a routine but fluid and casual.
