To explain: this was a project to make a new product from an existing one: transform an old drawing board into something else. So I made a reclining chair - whatever else? All of the parts are the complete drawing board, with the allowance for adding 40% extra bits. All that was added was a 'gas lift' cylinder from on old office chair to use as the recliner and some timber to house the gas unit and operating handle at the back. The stripe on the chair's face is the plastic ruler from the drawing board, the blue mild steel frame was the drawing board's frame but it was pressed to the two part shape with a former thet was made for the task.

But beside of Kiyamachi, there is Pontcho district, where is famous for Geisha.
So, I concluded like this - Kiyamachi district has a layer of sexuality as a base. And other ordinary things like a school, cafes bars... are existing in Chasm of the layer of Sexuality.
And there have been pushing and shoving between them.
(Maybe I have to give you a more detailed explanation but it's very hard to do in English!)
So I used this unique system of this city on this architecture.
First, there is a volume of a hotel, and then public space intrudes on the volume.
