“…In Japan, remodeling and conversion have long been discussed, and as far as the conversion to elderly welfare facilities is concerned, pre-conversion uses include not only hospitals and schools but also dormitories, department stores, collective housing, and lodgings, thus registering greater diversity compared to Korea. Ishiguro (2004) analyzed the legal regulations for fifteen cases in which dormitories, department stores, or hospitals were converted to fee-charging nursing homes [4], while Kumazawa (2008) identified the details of construction and changes to residential performance involving cases in which collective housing, dormitories, or lodgings were converted to rental homes [5]. City Bureau of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan (2012) disclosed case studies on unoccupied downtown buildings and their renewal, and the cases covered by the report included conversion into the elderly welfare facilities [6].…”

Recently, Japan with the increase in the cases of using the existing building structures for welfare purposes in recent years is displaying diversity in types of the use of the facilities prior to and following the conversion. In this Study, as the initial stage of the case survey study, cases of the conversion of the facilities such as retail stores into day service center and residential facilities for the elderly were collected and analyzed through literature review and internet search by limiting the search to Japan. In consideration of the realities in Korea in which the cases of conversion of the existing structures into welfare facilities for the elderly are forecasted to increase, it is anticipated that analysis of a diverse range of cases would provide highly useful reference at the time of conversion of use into welfare facilities for the elderly.

This paper explores the architect's intentions and values and how they reflect them through the materiality of their designs. In particular, this paper analyzes renovated houses from the viewpoints of the discourse and the spatial character and materiality.We found that many architects emphasize time in their discourses and develop contemporary spatial strategies to express it. A common approach is to highlight the history of a building by re-using and preserving the old preexisting materials. At the same time, many designs combine material preservation with new finishings, creating contrasts that enhance both newness and the passing of time.
