니시자와 류에의 단독주택 설계 방법론에 관한 연구 = A Study on Ryue Nishizawa’s Design Methodology in Detached Houses

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구는 니시자와 류에의 단독주택을 대상으로 공간적 특성과 설계 방법론을 분석한다. 이를 위해 ‘경계의 모호성’과 ‘최소화된 공간’을 핵심 분석 개념으로 설정하여 사례 분석을 수행한 결과, 그의 주택은 최소한의 건축적 개입과 의도된 여백을 통해 내부와 외부, 개인과 사회의 경계를 유동적으로 재구성하여 도시적 맥락을 주거 내부로 적극 수용하는 공간 전략을 보여준다. 이러한 설계 방법론은 고밀도 도시 환경에서 사적 영역의 보호와 사회적 관계 형성이라는 상반된 요구를 조율하는 대안적 주거 모델로서 중요한 의의를 지닌다.

This study investigates the distinctive design methodology of Ryue Nishizawa in his detached house projects, focusing on how his worksreinterpret the spatial and conceptual framework of contemporary Japanese housing. While postwar Japanese house have been shaped byurban density, lifestyle changes, and the impact of experimental domestic architecture. Nishizawa establishes an alternative approach thatchallenges conventional ideas of boundary, privacy, and enclosure. His projects often appear extremely light, open, and deliberatelyincomplete, allowing natural elements, urban conditions, and daily activities to flow freely through the architectural frame. The researchanalyzes his design methodology through two main concepts—ambiguity of boundaries and minimized space. These concepts reveal howNishizawa dissolves rigid separations between interior and exterior, reduces architectural intervention to a minimum, and build fluid relationalfields that connect residents to their surroundings. By incorporating urban complexity into the domestic realm, Nishizawa’s detached housespropose a dwelling model in which inhabitants occupy a seamless gradient between private and public life. Close readings of selected projectsshow that his work opens critical perspectives on contemporary housing and offers architectural solutions to the challenges of dense urbanenvironments.
