Anyone have a DXF or 3ds or SU model of the Ando sliver house Azuma House , Osaka .

I am in need of a model or drawings as all my books ( it in GA Ando Details 1) are in a truck transport.

TIA

page

here's one I started mate....I think most of it is there

Thanks to Silicon's 3ds file, I managed to rebuild all the model instead of cleaning it (3ds exporting :bang head ). Made some minor corrections... Feel free to upgrade the model as I'm not a texture master... :D

here ya go... :cheers:
Marcelo, I'm waiting for the kmz of course... :not worth

As the request seems to be honored... thread moved to "architectural models" section :D

I was doing the same thing! :bang head
I guess you're faster than me, very nice work Michel! :not worth :not worth

Azuma House Commentary
In a dense, urban core of Osaka row-houses, Ando inserted a simple, narrow concrete rectangular residence. With spaces flanking an interior courtyard, there is an attempt to return the 'contact with light, air, rain, and other natural elements' to the Japanese life-style. "In addition to providing light and serving as the focal point of family life, this small court is a spatial entity that attempts to compensate for the reduced physical space." It attempts to reinstate a traditional model using a modern vocabulary.

—Darlene Levy. drawn from Kenneth Frampton, ed. Tadao Ando: Buildings Projects Writings. p26.


The Creator's Words
"In its simple but rich spatial composition, in its expression of enclosure, and in the way light gives character to daily-life spaces, this house encapsulates an image of my architecture."—Tadao Ando

—Tadao Ando. Tadao Ando, Buildings Projects Writings. New York: Rizzoli, 1984. p26.

nice model, michel.
Either you or siliconbauhaus made the house too large, it's about 1.5 times bigger than the real one.
The house is 3.3m*14.1m at wall centers, and all wall thickness is 150mm.
This is a tiny house even by Japanese standard. :rolleyes:

Thx for the tip Takesh. Model scale updated... Now need to change those wall thicknesses... :bang head

Thank you all. As always, a wealth of information here at PPB.
Cheers

yeah I was having some issues with what the acutal size was so cheers for sorting it out.

Great link for AZUMA house light study. ONE DAY AT AZUMA HOUSE (http://www.baunetz.de/aip/2003/home/grgbsch/) :rock on:

you belgians are crazy!


yes, we are, complete nutcases :rock on:

but they brew great beer :cheers:

Those Belgians, they are the Duvel.

A friend of mine was refugee in France (1970's), and he traveled to Belgium to meet his parents just arriving from Argentina, when it became dark, so they decided to look for a cheap motel to spend the night (he was on a very tight butget).
They didn't realize they had gone into the red zone, so this guy and his mother entered to ask for a room, while his father looked out for the car....
The guy at the counter asked him with whom was he "going to the room" (wich on of the ladies), and he said, " avec ma maman" (with my mother)...

the guy outraged shouted " ah no, CA dans LA BELGIQUE NON !!!!"
Ah no, this in BELGIUM NO!!

very funny how this guy became so nationalistic about Belgian Morality!!!

Ok ok Marcelo.... but what about the kmz location? :wondering :D

Ok ok Marcelo.... but what about the kmz location? :wondering :D
Already been hoovering over Osaka, but it's low-res, mon cheri..!

...CA DANS LA BELGIQUE NON!! has been a fammily joke for years, misled me to beleive you were a bunch of moralists!!
:D

Hi Everyone
I guess I'm late...
I can't open few reply-packages, soo I'm not sure... maybe You know it already.

runa,

Thank you for these analyses. They are quite helpful with my study. Although the Powerpoint presentation( 01 House Azuma.zip) is written with an Asian script I can not read, the images are a welcome addition to my research.. I have a very similar site condition and was looking for a good conceptual analysis.



ps saving as .jpg will give you much smaller file sizes ( than .bmp)

I'm glad You found it interesting.
Good luck with Your research!
Thanks for advice (jpg) :o

It's been a long time out if i didn't notice this thread by now (and the koshino one too!!!) Great stuff here - And i just love this house. Here are some images from a model i created a long time ago.

That "one day at..." website is really cool!

A Bug view...

very yummy renders. ... I too am enamored with this house.

Hi,

I've got some questions about the Azuma House. :) I have an urgent homework about this house and cannot find the information I'm looking for. Hope you can help me. :)

The houses near the Azuma House close the view of the little windows of it as long as I can see from the photos. How do those windows get the sunlight? Or do the windows have another function?

What's the direction of the house? I mean, is its frontal side at south for example, or what? What's the house's coordination I mean? Do you have a general plan of the house with a street name, some important buildings near it and the directions given? If you have it, could you post or send it to my e-mail address, please?

Do you have any info about the Azuma House base system? And the materials, ingredients included in the structure of the house?

And lastly, there are 50 cm long spaces left between the basement and the plank bottom, what is the function of these spaces if you know? :)

Thanks in advance for all your help and the answers that you will provide me. They are going to be quite useful for me.

My e-mail address is seda.demir.sd@gmail.com

Thanks!!

ei i know it's late for this , but what is the meaning of "Azuma"?

It's a surname of the client.
As a word, it means "East".

good on you guys....

hey all... I gave it a few tries on artlantis..

Natural lighting rocks in this house. Is the master's hand.

hi all nice house :)

This house is interesting and I must say Ando is very creative and daring But personally I don't like this house.

Partly because of the lack of windows on the facade. To me it looks very cold.
One great little house, nevertheless. :cool:

hi guy those anyone have the kmz for this house please

man

Does anyone know what are the 18 recesses in the party wall are?

mapped and rendered in 3d studio max

I just want to thank ou guys. I needed the house, and now i have it.

Agree with eduard, i'have to study this house and I found what i needed her..i'll post my work.

Thanks a lot for the material, i'll post my work too

Hello I was wondering if anyone has a CAD model of any furniture piece in the Azuma house? If so please be so kind please just leave a link on this page so I have access to downloading it, appreciate it!

you must love spam to post your email address on public forums
it also shows you are not interested in participating in the forum if you leave an email address and disappear.

good luck!

I knew Bono and Brad were into their architecture, but Snoop Dogg?

I'm there I've changed it, it's just my e-mail, I got that when I was in 9th grade, give me a break. Anyway I was just hoping someone would be helpful in helping with a furniture piece in the Azuma house in CAD format since I really can't find any information on its furnitures.
Thanks!

It was a joke mate chill out! I was actually listening to big snoop Dogg when I read that.

I know dude, do you by any chance have any CAD drawings of the Azume house? If so can you post them?

I have done a few Podium renders of this building feel free to take a look.

all comments and crits very welcome.

Hello Solo,
Have you done anything of the Azume house in VIZ?
Or has anyone tried so?

I am afraid not.

It's been a long time out if i didn't notice this thread by now (and the koshino one too!!!) Great stuff here - And i just love this house. Here are some images from a model i created a long time ago.
Hello Bakbek, do you happen to have the model still, and was it created in CAD(VIZ?)

Thanks! Please post back and let me know~

Can the large windows facing the courtyard be opened?

I seriously doubt the small floor level windows would be comfortably adequate for ventilation:wondering

thanks my mate

i just wanted to thank you guys !! you really did an excellent job !!


ps : i had only one remark , the file 3DS of the house can not be read by 3ds max 2007 !! i just wondered why !

Hey guys..

Might anyone have the construction details of Azuma House? There are some fantastic renderings here, but I need the dimensions... Or perhaps point me in the right direction?

Thanks. :)
