Jiyūgaoka as Women’s Realm: A Case Study on Tokyo Genderfication
(The Plan Journal, 2019-04-02) Gómez Lobo, Noemí; Tsukamoto, Yoshiharu; Martín Sánchez, Diego
Framed within the question of how gender influences the production of urban space, this study reveals how Jiyūgaoka, a high-end suburban area in Tokyo, has developed by targeting a particular gender role: women as caretakers and consumers. Car-safe and bike-friendly, Jiyūgaoka pedestrian areas have more greenery, pavement, and urban furniture in comparison with the average Tokyo street. Jiyūgaoka spatial practices encourage the meeting of people in the public realm, creating relationships between behaviors and their supporting physical environment. By aiming at women, other non-normative bodies were rendered into the city, enhancing public life and creating an accessible milieu. Jiyūgaoka genderfication process, by which the overlaying of commercial and gender mechanisms has impacted urban phenomena, is shown through a chronological investigation of gender-charged contents and its mapping in the urban fabric. This study demonstrates how urban transformation in Jiyūgaoka has encompassed changes in the lives of women in Japanese society. Representative examples from each period illustrate the physical translation of this development, from a home cooking school to a promenade with hundreds of benches.
Pavilions revealing the possibility of urban forestry as commons: Case studies on "fire foodies club" and "urban foresters club" at UABB
(Architectural Institute of Japan Journal of Technology and Design, 2020-10) Martín Sánchez, Diego; Tsukamoto, Yoshiharu; Gómez Lobo, Noemí
Climate emergency has triggered environmental concerns in different forms of architectural practice. Shenzhen Biennial of Urbanism and Architecture (UABB) provides the framework to question obsolete models that still shape our cities. This report aims to provide a design methodology that addresses the intersection between green resources and the urban environment by examining two pavilions designed by Atelier Bow-Wow + Tsukamoto Laboratory at UABB 2017 and 2019. These projects are the means to reveal the possibility of transforming green waste into resources for reconstructing urban commons based on existing livelihoods. Potentialities and failures are shown, rethinking commons in the contemporary metropolis.
Social ecosystem of architectural design in the discourse of women architects in Japan: Case study on the Autumn 2018 lecture series at Gallery IHA
(Architectural Institute of Japan Journal of Technology and Design, 2019-10) Gómez Lobo, Noemí; Tsukamoto, Yoshiharu; Iwana, Davina; Chiba, Daiki
In Japan, the architect’s profile has changed in the last decades, with a steady increase in women practitioners. Meanwhile, the intersection between gender and architecture remains scarcely explored. This paper aims to show how gender influences the architectural profession by taking as a case study the Gallery IHA Autumn Lectures 2018, a series of lectures by female architects organized and held by women under the theme “exploring the architect’s social ecosystem”. A comparative analysis of the discourse of six female architects working in Tokyo showed how to overcome gender barriers in the profession through diversifying and democratizing architectural practices.
Tokyo Metropolitan Parks as urban forestry assemblages: reframing more-than-human commons in the city
(Taylor and Francis, 2022-01-17) Martín Sánchez, Diego; Tsukamoto, Yoshiharu; Gómez Lobo, Noemí
This study explores urban forestry as a maintenance practice capable of enhancing more-thanhuman commons in the city. Focusing on the places associated with tree care, the methodology takes as a case study the Tokyo Metropolitan Parks, conducting quantitative and qualitative analysis through the means of immersive field work and questionnaires, to reveal howurban forestry practices materialize within the parks. Regarding the spatial relations between humans and/or non-humans with resources, different Urban Forestry Elements (UFE) have been found, as well as their collection in groups within the parks forming Urban Forestry Assemblages (UFA). The paper creates a comprehensive framework that reveals these places for urban forestry as important beacons for urban commoning.
