Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop housing prototype relevant to the ordinary residential city block inciting the respective renewals of housing. It is presumed that the housing prototype improves the living condition without any change of the existing land ownership. The study consists of the following procedure, which is to set, simulate and evaluate housing prototype as a hypothesis and to propose the prototype as a realizable model.
Three urban unit prototypes;“Self-defense model”, “Alley model”, and “Court Yard model” are set as the hypothesises. Each prototype is simulated to the housing site in a selected site block in a built-up residential area. As a result of simulation, enough possibility are found.“Self-defense model” supplies living amenity limited to a single site.“Alley model” creates an openspace like a network of alley in the city block.“Court Yard model” creates a court yard in the city block.
According to housing specialist's evaluation, it is indicated that each model had enough possibility as the promising renewal model. Reasoning from specialist's suggestions, finally a variety of ideal architectural image of urban housing units are developed.
To realize the these models, the central and local governments support systems are needed. The utilization and maintenance system of alley and court yard openspace are also important.
