PROFILE

KUNIHIKO MATSUBA

Individual investor / Art collector / First-class registered Architect / CEO of TYRANT Inc.

Born in Tokyo in 1979. After graduating from the graduate school of the Tokyo University of the Arts, Kunihiko Matsuba started his own design office without first gaining the experience of working at a design office. He is unique in that his first design project as an architect was a public cultural facility (Hirozakari Sake Brewery, Nakanojo-machi, Gumma Prefecture).

This same project also attracted attention by winning architecture awards in Japan and abroad, such as the Yoshinobu Ashihara Award and the JCD Rookie Award.

He aims to realize architecture that creates new value with innovative design methods such as "floating," "warping," and "sharpening," and his ideas and work have more than a little something in common with contemporary art.

1979	born in Tokyo Japan
2005	received the master degree, Tokyo University of the Arts
2007	founded TYRANT Architects
2012	established TYRANT Inc.

The staircase of “Village,” which is built on a slope, is designed not only as a structure that connects two floors with different elevations, but also as something architecturally or spatially important. In this exhibition, in order to add new value to this staircase, Matsuba has daringly aimed to create a structure that causes a strange feeling when going up or down the staircase. The architect covered the 24-step staircase (that has a tread of 300 mm and a rise of 130 mm) with plywood and created a delicately warped staircase by slightly changing the inclination of each tread and the height of each rise. The uniform rhythm of steps normally felt is disturbed by the warps, causing users to have a strange feeling when going up or down the staircase.

As they go up or down the stairs, they experience the delicacies of the body’s senses, which respond to even the slightest warps.

斜面に沿って建てられた旧老人健康村「美ら寿」の階段は、高低差のあるフロア間を繋ぐだけのものとしだけではなく、建築空間的にも重要な位置づけとして計画されている。その階段に新たな価値観を与えるべく、今回の展示ではあえて上り下りの際に違和感を覚える階段の実現を目指した。踏面300mm、蹴上130mm、計24段の既存階段に合板を張り、各段の踏面の傾きや蹴上の高さをわずかに変えることで、微妙な歪みを持った階段をつくりだす。従来感じる均一なリズムは歪みによって崩され、上り下りする人はその体験に違和感を覚えることとなる。

老人健康村という建物のコンセプトはもとより、一般に求められるものとも相反する階段の上り下りを通じて、わずかな歪みにも反応する身体感覚の繊細さを体感することとなる。
