What are the characteristics of the longhouse in Kyrgyzstan?

Living in Yoshinaga is an early work of Tadao Ando, a Japanese architect. The longhouse is a common residential form in Osaka. An ordinary longhouse is a house with the width of two rooms, and then arranged in succession.

The longhouse in Kyrgyzstan replaced the middle of the original three longhouses, and its foundation, beams and adjacent longhouses were used. The closed cuboid block makes full use of the limited foundation. The facade of the whole building is almost completely closed, which just meets the privacy requirements of the houses located in the central city. "What I pursue is a space that is closed to the outside, but produces dramatic effects inside through light." Compared with the traditional longhouse, Tadao Ando made Yoshinaga's living room more closed to highlight the richness of internal light. Light and shadow is an important factor in organizing space, which makes light scatter to the gap between the wall and the column, directly shaping the space and achieving a sacred and intimate effect. The wall became abstract under the action of light. At the same time, the wallboard living in the concave part of the chicken house reflects the light to the street, and the light becomes the regulator connecting this inward-looking house with the street. It is said that Tadao Ando's use of light originated from the traditional Japanese teahouse of Yoshizuya, and he likes to pierce the darkness with a casual light.

The wall of Jichang House has small ventilated windows, and there is a gap of 10cm between it and the adjacent houses. Through this gap, you can ventilate. It is an energy-saving house, which can live comfortably without air conditioning and play a certain role in lighting. The facade of the longhouse in Kyrgyzstan is strictly symmetrical, which not only makes the building have a sense of balance, but also keeps some traditional concepts in the traditional longhouse area.

What is even more impressive is that Tadao Ando is good at treating concrete as a high-precision material, and its surface is polished as smooth as a mirror, which makes it lose its sense of weight as a structure and makes the space have a certain weightlessness. He said this: "I like to regard concrete as a clear and peaceful inorganic material, giving it an elegant expression."
