@romualdillo:I feel sad when I see others get more comments and have many visitors. I think I'm not doing something good. Or maybe it's the lack of advertising? The monument is dedicated to an old prince. Lord Simcitler

Machiya W2W IV.


My region originally circa 100,000 inhabitants. Through social housing in some parts of the city were on the same area population of 160,000. Through my W2W project is now for the first time soon 170,000 inhabitants. Machiya more efficient use of the plot size. Urban development improved considerably.

Thank you for looking. I am very pleased with the comments and I would also appreciate negative criticism.

[belfastsocrates]

That looks fantastic. I love the variety of buildings and it's a very well executed recreation of a Japanese city. Great attention to detail as well.

[kelis]

One of my favorites updates here. There are a lot of pictures, but that's not the only reason...look those pictures, there are perfect and with a lot of details. I love your region my friend, I am a big FAN of Totori.

About your urban city, I think it looks very nice and I think you have to create more parts like this. I know you like the rural areas, but a city with 170.000 inhabitans in Japan need a urban area, even it that area is not big...

Greetings my friend and let me know if you need help with more things 

[Simcoug]

Wonderful work - you have an amazing eye for details. 
And thank you for tipping me off on the new gobanboshi gem - I had to stop by and pick that up 

[romualdillo]

Great update!!! There are a lot of pictures to see and I love the temple!!! 

[noahclem]

Lovely temple and surrounding areas 

[art128]

The apartment building overlooking the tram and the railway line is nice! Would love an apartment on the last floor.

Excellent remodeling of the shrine, it looks excellent now. Once again fantastic work with the remodeling of the city. The end result is fantastic.

@romualdillo: Thank you! When you show a complete city? I want to see your project in the game!

@art128:I am happy when my brother says he likes what he sees. I've allowed in the apartment at the top of a box full of manga to present. Welcome to your student flat in Totori! *hug*

Machiya W2W VI.


Today there are a lot of theory and learning material about W2W and Machiya.

Wiki: City block: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_block

1a) Roman City : Augusta Treverorum (wikipedia {only german and nederlands} http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/R%C3%B6mische_Stadt )

2d) Kumamoto Castle Edo Period  Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kumamoto_Castle





Look in more detail at the left side image


Now to the topic Machiya:

Today there is a private space in public space. They meet in squares and parks, visiting the cinema, museums.
In the past, it was different. The deeper you hest in the building, the more private it is.

Source: www.google.com


On the plot is the building. The entrance area is public. To this end, add additional rooms. Valuable things were kept away from the entrance. There it was safe. The Machiya is the consistent idea of the smallest room (private sphere) to the outside, there are several zones. The road connects only the Machiya. The road is not a public space. The road is only the transport. Everything takes place in the Machiya and on the property.

Anonymous streets between the Machiya.

Source: www.google.com






The road is only the transport.


Were caused by earthquakes, fire and war, especially through speculation and Machiya be demolished. It will be built on building new generations. The new buildings have no roots to the original urban development . The idea of multiple areas of life lost.

Source: www.google.com




Machiya have many advantages:
+If all buildings have the same building height shadowed no building the other. All residents get enough light.
+By the north-south orientation little needs to be heated. In summer, the roof protects from open windows and out the coolness. In winter, the building can warm themselves.
+Little space is used very efficiently.

@romualdillo: Thank you! When you show a complete city? I want to see your project in the game!

Still a lot of work to do!!! Lots of props to render!!  But the end (if there is one) is near.

Great update!! You've done a master class here!! It's very interesting how similar traditional architectures are. Perhaps they pursued the same objectives. You can build strong relations between traditional Japanese houses and traditional Roman-Arabic houses in Spain.

You're improving your city a lot! Great pictures and great explanations...

[vester]

Google as a source ?

Its like saying the library is the source.

Looking forward for the next update.

[kelis]

WOOOOOOOW !!

You are working really hard my friend !! The last update is amazing with all those pictures and explanations.
Your Machiya looks very nice and it fits perfectly in your beautiful region. I can't wait to see more things my friend.

In the future I want to do something with your region and my region. Something with the trains, some rail connections 

[art128]

Impressive redevelopment, really.

What I love about traditional houses is all the little gardens they put inside the houses. It look really cool.

[noahclem]

Fascinating stuff! I want a garden in my house too    Keep up the great work

@vester:A source is a source is a a source. 
@kelis:I do not know whether it is possible to connect our regions. Totori is a little away from the big city. I hope you get mail in mid-May.   *friend-hug*
@art-kun:I like the little gardens of the houses in the background too. It is efficient and an important saves water. Each has its own small garden. For decoration, as storage or as a vegetable garden.
But you have a small apartment to a railway line, or do you want to move? *bro-hug-hug-hug*
@noahclem: Thank you so much!

Great work with details!! I wonder what you hide there... 

[Dantes]

Only one comment from my friend Mr. Romualdillo Spain. I am sad

Reply:
@romualdillo: There has been a construction site. Now ready built there. I'm sorry if you thought there would be hiding something special.

Machiya W2W VIII.


Today I show you the small town center. It is the seat of the Prefäkturregierung and some other institutions. Tototori is a rural and small region, therefore, the Downtown area is not large and significant.

1. Overview  *brrr* Urban


2. Old National Plaza


3. New National Plaza

8.Behind the seat of administration are shops for Otaku and nerds. *art128-kun-hug*


9. 'Skyline'

This traffic solution was needed. More than 4,000 trams, 8000 trains and thousands of pedestrians are here every day on the road.


12. My "Central Park"

14.The following picture was the Idea to this city scene:


15.


16.The area is very narrow, so I had to build up the tradition of the street.


17.


18.The railway network is a secret green area.


19.And now to something different.


20. Thank you sooooooooooooooooooooooo much Otouto-chan! Art128 thank you, thank you! Domo arigatto gozaimasu! It looks great. Ingenious implementation. I will now installed anywhere on the railway this crossing later. My pedestrians and bicyclists will enjoy. I hope you will publish this overpass too. Many cities in SimCity need this bridge. This component was missing!



Thank you for looking. I am very pleased with the comments and I would also appreciate negative criticism.

[art128]

Great to know you enjoyed my overpass.

Fantastic update, the new version of the national plaza is nice. Also great touch with the otaku shops right next to the government building.

[noahclem]

Great updates    Where'd you get that title drawing--almost looks like SimCity    I love how Arthur's pedestrian overpass looks 

[romualdillo]

Great work again!! "Präfekturregierung", was für ein Wort!! Ich glaube, dass du nicht nur ein deutsches Wort verwendet hast, weil ich deutsche Props auf dem Nationalplatz sehe!!   
I like how the train station is aligned with the bridge. Don't be so upset with your urban areas. Having a flat in those buildings facing a park and the river won't be that bad.

Congrats to art128 for the overpass.

[Dantes]

I have received three comments. I look forward to your comments. If I get comments I am happy. Feed me with comments!

@art128:*hug-hug-hug-hug-hug-hug-hug* The officials in the government building like reading manga. It is practically the next street are shops for it. *thehe* I hope you like the solder using your Overpass. I use it a lot and would put it in the region. Completely new transport routes for pedestrians arise! My citizens are very happy with the Overpass. Thank you! I hope you will publish the Overpass well. Many Simcity player would be pleased. Domo arigatto gozaimasu!
@noahclem:Arthur has built a great Overpass. The Anime / Manga is Uchouten Kazoku. The story revolves around special Kami, which can be transformed. The story takes place in Kyoto. There are many famous places that there appear in the anime. Youtube-Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FySjirMjsjc
@romualdillo: Du sprichst deutsch ? Du kannst wirklich alles! ôo Urban space is urban space. Although the city has a River, and a park, yet it remains to urban me. The Google Translator has the word "Präfekturregierung" not be translated. It was a translation error and not intentional. ^^°°°°°

Machiya W2W IX.


Before I show you new pictures from my region, I want to show this cool website. There I discovered unusual model homes. Really great that there is also something like this for railway enthusiasts, right?
