THE NECESSITY
The rich historical city of Kyoto needs a representative
information-center worthy of the city’s cultural heritage .
On the other hand Kyoto is a highly modernized city with
a modern way of living. Therefore it is equal important
that the information center expresses this modern
Kyoto. The task is to combine and respect both of those
elements into a new design for the Ninigi machiya.
Simply said Kyoto is a modern city with a high amount
of cultural heritage. A information center that wants to
represent the city of Kyoto needs to respect and show
the cultural heritage and reflect the modern at the
same time.

• MODER / TRADITIONAL
The new cultural information center will be
a mixture of modern (Kyoto) with a historic
traditional Kyo-machiya.
Preserve: the old traditional looks of the
exterior (facades, roof) of the machiya by
finding the typical exterior elements of the
machiya (analyzed in the research book).
The looks of those elements needs to be
present in the new design.
KYOTO
STATION
The Design focuses on one of the key elements of
the Machiya typology the zoning, this is what I will call
the sequence of spaces and exists due to the double
function of dwelling en retail of the traditional machiya.
This sequence of spaces is visible in The Program, The
Zoning, Separation Public Private, Light and dark.

CONCEPTUAL DIAGRAMS
TOURIST INFORMATION CENTER
• SEQUENCE OF PRIVACY
The concept of linear sequences that
is typical of the Machiya will provide a
gradient from Public to less public, by
arranging the most private functions in the
back.
The street is the most public, after that
the shop and information point will follow
which are both the most public functions of
the center. Then the indoor garden follows
(as transition space) into the heart of the
cultural center, the lecture/workshop room.
Then the original Japanese garden will
follow which will be preserved and at the
and a bike vending machine will be placed
which will be accessible through the alley.
• SEQUENCE OF OPEN AND CLOSED
The traditional machiya had a sequence
of open en closed spaces (shop - garden
- residential - garden - kura) This assured
enough daylight in to the machiya and also
provided good ventilation and cooling in the
summer.
This strong traditional element will be brought
back to the Ninigi but in a modern way of an
indoor garden.
• SEQUENCE OF SPACES
A key element of the traditional machiya
is the linear sequence of spaces (shop
- genkan & nakaniwa - residential area
- niwa(garden) - Kura). For the spatial
concept this is a valuable characteristic
and is worth keeping.
In the new design the typology of the
sequences will be used as a design tool so
that the essence of the machiya won’t be
lost due to the renovation.
The modern appearance of the city will
also be will also be addressed, modern
materialization, new (flexible) program new
rooms and new use of it so it deserves a
new adapted look, but it will always strict
to the concept of sequences.
This is the part were the two interventions
will be made and the city of Kyoto
can express its modernity by modern
architectural languages.

CONTRASTING OF THE OLD AND NEW
INTERVENTIONS:
Two completely new additions to
the Ninigi, the first one is a new
intrepetations of the Nakaniwa and
will be an glass sturcture held up
with 9 gates that acenturate the
dimensions of the Inner garden.
The interventions break with the
traditional machiya and expresses
the modernity of Kyoto. This will be
seen in the materialiation and the
languages of shapes.
