Soft Architecture Studies / 柔らかい構造スタディー
This article is about chronicle of approaching to soft structure. This research have been done from 2009, when I was in Bartlett, then go on to now. In addition, there is deep relation about my phd thesis as well, but here I am more focusing on hardware. ■2009 , Inspired by Vlad in UCL Bartlett // [...]

Emergence Experiment, AA, 2009
EMERGENCE EXPERIMENT EmTech 2009 Barbara Barreda, Dishita Turakhia, Kensuke Hotta, Sanjeev Shankar EMERGENCE – A NEW DESIGN PARADIGM The experiment over the last 3 sequences along with the lectures and research readings have highlighted the potential behind using emergence as a process and tool for design. It has also raised questions about the relevance of [...]
Programmable Architecture PhD thesis (2nd, 2011)
Programmable Architecture -Towards Intelligent Architecture- PhD Candidate Kensuke Hotta AA school of Architecture Supervisor Dr.George Jeronimidis Supervisor Mr.Michael Weinstock Abstract This thesis report proposes a new strategy for intelligent architecture,compares it to past architectural theories concerned withtime-based design methods and discusses past computational andcomplex theories, highlighting their limitations. In this research ProgrammableArchitecture introduces a new [...]
Venice CityVision Competition, 2011
CITYVISION competition is an international ideas competition, which challenges architects, engineers, designers, students and creative individuals to develop visionary urban proposals with the intention of stimulating and supporting the contemporary city. Through innovative ideas and methodologies, which can improve the connection between the historical, present and future city, CITYVISION aims to foster a critical evolution [...]

Sample work, its movie has been done here! /// /// /// /// /// /// /// /// Design Unit Brief Studio: Alexandros Kallegias / Kensuke Hotta // Living Cover// The Effect of CanopyBeing one of architecture’s fundamental elements, the canopy by definition, is an overhead roof or else a structure over which a fabric or metal covering is attached, [...]
Gunma Conpetition, Japan, 2011 // 上州富岡駅舎コンペ
Sharisharishari collaborated with Emeraude Architectural Laboratory Co.Ltd to submit this entry to the competition held in Japan in June 2011. This design proposal was inspired by traditional silk industry in this local area. We proposed a structure like spinning wheel and silk strings and embodied time/process within the structure. We design the station as [...]
Okayama Competition, Japan, 2010 // 吉備線LRT駅デザインコンペ
We have got 1st prize in this competition in 2010, with architect and programmer, this looks like a research paper cos we did some experiment for this kinetic component. In this proposal we thought the site is a one whole square but not dividing by each function like a traditional architectural planning, and covered with kinetic and ephemeral roof made by tensegrity , [...]
‘Programmable Architecture’ PhD Proposal at AA,2010
The Programmable Architecture (Research Proposal) -Towards Intelligent Architecture- PhD Candidate Kensuke Hotta at AA School プログラマブルアーキテクチュア研究計画 ～インテリジェントアーキテクチュアへむかって～ 1-The topic or area to be investigated The Metabolist movement in Japan in the 1970’s has a certain presence in the recent history of architecture and urbanism, but its influence is difficult to trace beyond academia, and surprisingly little [...]
Kawgawa Competition, Japan, 2010// 香川県キャッスルプロムナードコンペ
We have done one competition 2010 in Kagawa, Japan, about plomnade besides a sea and traditional castle, but unfortunately this proposal lost. We propose landscape design and aquamarine space for visitor from out side, this architecture is also a building for a wall when the Tunami or hight sea level attack, so we kept 4.2m from sea level continuously. We [...]

‘The Programmable-Kinetic-Fabric for Architecture’ for master thesis, Bartlett UCL, 2009
The Programmable-Kinetic-Fabric for Architecture by using a real-time Genetic Algorithm Kensuke Hotta (838526) 11/ Sep/2009, Msc Adaptive Architecture and Computation, Bartlett UCL Abstract: There have been a number of proposals which resist the passing of time and make architecture old fashioned on both a substantial context and a social context; for example Plug-in [...]
‘The Physical Game of Life Project’ at UCL Bartlett,2009
The Physical Game of Life Project 2009 (BENVGAC3 Computing for Emergent Architecture report) Kensuke Hotta (MSc AAC) 0. Abstract Why most of ‘parametric architecture’s’ are called meaningless? There is few discussion refer to this topic only because this methodology is novel, though it is really important before we use computer aided design. We [...]

‘The Breathing Park’ Diploma at KyotoUni. 2004
The Breathing Park 2006 by Kensuke Hotta (Kyoto Univ.) The ultimate dream of architecture is to reconstruct nature artificially. This building’s surface is covered with full of kinetic-rover, wchich enables it adopt against changing environment with opening and closing, though it looks like just a box. And because of seamless design between exterior and interior, the environmental elements are also available in [...]
