Livinig in Roji Alleys

Before starting my experience as an internship student at the Kengo Kuma Lab at The University of Tokyo, I had participated in the 2nd edition of the TTT workshop. This was an international workshop that involved the 3 different universities, the Polytechnic of Turin, the Feng Chia university of Taichung ( Taiwan ) and the University of Tokyo. The theme concerned with the design of a pavilion inside an old urban system of narrow roads called roji. After the workshop I started my experience as an international internship student at the KengoKuma Lab, there I started researching on my thesis theme at the university library, meanwhile I was participating at the students meeting for the competition in which the Lab was involved, and attending at the english-spoken lectures. By working in contact with the students of the lab, I had the occasion to know and speak with other professors interested in the same case I was studying. In particular I got in contact with professor Hidenobu Jinnai, a professor of History, at the Hosei University, who, from that moment on, I regularly met to show him the work in progress analysis.
