THE KARATE DOJO IN HITOTSUBASHI UNIVERSITY
MASAHIRO KINOSHITA/KINO ARCHITECTS
- Outline
- This karate dojo is located in Hitotsubashi University in Kunitachi City, Tokyo. The dojo was relocated from the east side of the campus to the west side due to deterioration. It was built with donations from graduates. The structure consists of a Japanese hut built on a steel frame. The roof shape is a cross between a gable and a sawtooth roof, with float glass on the north gable and a gully on the south gable, for rainwater drainage and air-conditioning ventilation. By shifting the roof, the float glass on the north gable gets more light.
