Chiba University Inohana Memorial Hall (of Fumihiko Maki) was built in 1963 in Chiba, Japan. While Maki doesn’t believe in architectural growth under an artificial system through modular units, he welcomes change and revolution in a more organic way. Our renovation as a one take project, is a way of de-monumentalization of its integrity, which welcomes new possibilities in the future.

From hidden building in the woods on the hills that isolated from the outside world, the building breaks its boundary vertically and horizontally, standing out of the hill towards the city as a cultural exchange open gate in the modern society.
