We planned for the core training space to be the "Training HUB," and the “Support Space” to be the areas surrounding the training HUB where there will be contact with the external environment. We imagined a composition that would produce a complex effect by creating a mutually complementary relationship.

Approaching 3 themes through computational スポーツ ベット 入金 不要
- 1. スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 organization through the HUB and support space
- 2. Creating a space for communication
- 3. The state of architecture and the environment
The central "Training HUB" is a RC structure and the "support space" is a S structure, taking in ambient light and スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 to create various inside/outside relationships.

Interactive volume スポーツ ベット 入金 不要
The site is divided into multiple use areas (commercial, residential), and it was necessary to conduct volume studies while observing complicated laws and regulations (setback restrictions, shadow regulations, etc.). We created visualizations of the laws and regulations in 3D space; the legal checks and the volume studies (through trial and error) were carried out interactively1. While intuitively manipulating the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 model, we searched for a volume that fits in the legally regulated space and realized a スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 composition consisting of a "training hub" and a "support space."

Facade スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 that takes in the wind
By simulating where the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 hits the building, we planned the shape of the building and the ventilation windows to efficiently take in the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 to the interior. The simulation of スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 from the main direction during the intermediate period shows that the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 is flowing as though it is licking the exterior wall.

Natural ventilation potential map
Positive pressure
Negative pressure
We created a natural ventilation potential map2 that visualizes the pressure on the exterior wall due to the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要. We analyzed the points where the pressure difference due to the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 became large and planned the layout of the ventilation openings. Additionally, by making the exterior wall scale-like, the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 catching effect is enhanced and natural ventilation is promoted. This scaled wall also works to reduce the visibility to and from the facing buildings and helps to improve the living environment.
2 The pressure on the exterior skin from スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 (16) wind directions was analyzed; and the natural ventilation potential map is weighted by the wind direction frequency distribution in the intermediate period. We visualized the areas where positive pressure is likely to occur vs areas where negative pressure is likely to occur throughout the period. Generally, if ventilation ports are installed in the areas where positive pressure is generated and areas where negative pressure is generated, natural ventilation is performed efficiently.
Simulation of the indoor environment
The training HUB was expected to have a thermos-like effect, protected by the support spaces and external insulation. To confirm this, we verified the comfort of the indoor environment through a simulation.
Evaluation of thermal comfort PMV
The radiation effect of the waffle slab3 was evaluated by the PMV4 predicted thermal comfort report. It was confirmed that there is an appropriate environmental difference between the interior and the outer perimeter of the waffle slab, and heat is trapped in the training HUB space to create a comfortable environment.
3 Waffle slab: A slab with a grid-like beam structure to reduce deflection under a vertical load. 4 PMV: A thermal comfort index that indicates whether humans feel warm or cold depending on room temperature, average radiation temperature, relative humidity, スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 speed, amount of clothing, and metabolism. Recommended range is -0.5 to 0.5.
Training HUB, 3F
The training HUB uses a 3.2m x 3.2m grid waffle slab and pursues comfort while significantly reducing energy for air conditioning and lighting. A convection simulation of the airflow using a radiant air-conditioning spot fan was performed and later demonstrated in an experiment at a technical laboratory. We provided solutions using both digital and analog methods.

Optimizing the light environment and line-of-sight control
We used Grasshopper to solve the contradictory tasks of reducing the sight lines from neighboring buildings while keeping the communication area bright and also blocking direct sunlight. Using the value of the angle of the external fin as a parameter, we derived a pattern that reduces the line-of-sight entering the room. The annual average illuminance simulation is conducted at the same time. While blocking direct sunlight, we checked that comfortable brightness can be ensured with solely indirect light.
The expression produced by a facade with soft gradation
We used a 3D printer to study the complex fin shapes and pursued a facade スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 that generated a soft gradation. By making full use of these digital スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 methods, we have realized a bright communication space that incorporates natural light while considering privacy.

A structural plan that embodies the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 concept
To create a column-free training HUB (RC structure) and to achieve a light structure for the support space (S structure) on the perimeter, we adopted a waffle slab that takes advantage of the beam performance while reducing the slab thickness. With each specification of the structural element as a parameter, an optimization method is used to automatically search for a solution that can realize the concept. Each time the optimization calculation is performed, the values of the specifications are automatically converged to satisfy the スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 goals, and a possible solution is derived.
Searching for a solution
From the possible solutions derived by the automatic search, the designer considers the best proposals, narrows it down5, and makes the final decision.

We feel that the concept of integrating and balancing diversification is important for today's society and for the future. Computational スポーツ ベット 入金 不要 helps to create a special system in which more diverse parameters can coexist in a balanced manner in a single architectural work. Additionally, it changes the formation and expression of the architecture and creates a new harmonious architecture.
