The aim of this study is to clarify the composition of threshold in Japanese contemporary architecture located in urban parks. “Threshold” is seen as a space which possesses the potential to provide people with a place to congregate, rest, and views to the vicinity. The principle of threshold is seen as the transitional space from the exterior to the interior in public architecture that can have different character by various arrangement of elements and open space according to the access circulation. First, the elements that compose the threshold are defined. Second, the arrangement of the threshold is examined. Third, the compositional diagrams of the threshold with the Volume are examined, and typologies of the threshold are established. From the comparison of these typologies four characteristics with tendencies are clarified: Isolating (the interior), Concentrating (the exterior, the interior, the exterior with depth), Dispersing (the interior, the interior with depth, the interior and of the exterior, the interior and the exterior with depth), Blurring (the interior and the exterior)

1 Introduction of a door. The sill defines the limit between two distinct spaces, 1.1 Background and purpose which can be between an exterior and an interior, between two Public facilities do not only serve activities for people, but also exteriors or between two interiors. The sill is always in between provide people opportunities to gather and meet each other, in since it belongs to the spaces on both sides. In this paper, this in- light of the fact they are open to all. The spatial transition be- betweenness of the sill as the treshold is extended into spatial tween the exterior and the interior of the architecture possesses composition. the potential to provide people a place to congregate and rest 1), After the Second World War, the Japanese society has built and a view towards the vicinity.

In the urban fabric, in the territory of a single building. A previous paper 4) examined the transitional space between exterior and interior, is defined by “exterior slanted space” as a public space promoted in the single existing built structure such as buildings, squares, streets, but in public facility. This paper focuses on the type of space calling it a urban parks it is defined by the architectural element with open “threshold” in public facilities. space. It shows how architecture can have an effect on exterior The threshold is defined by the succession of architectural ele- space which is less defined by the boundary than architecture, and ments, activated by the access circulation toward the entrance. how this effect integrate the open space within the architectural The principle of threshold can be explained by referring to the sill composition.
