Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In addition to highlighting the human benefits of built environments which relate to particular place, time and being, many of the Japanese buildings examined illustrate practical strategies for revealing these universal parameters which are equally applicable beyond Japan. It is suggested that wider use of some of these approaches could not only help to sustain both environmental and cultural identities against the homogenising effects of globalisation, but also has the potential to heighten our appreciation of the peculiar condition of being here now."--Jacket.

Download or read book The Very Small Home written by Azby Brown and published by Kodansha International. This book was released on 2005 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building small can be a sign of higher ambitions, and those who take the time to peruse these pages will undoubtedly grow to appreciate that creating a small home can be an amazingly positive and creative act, one which can enhance life in surprising ways.The Very Small Home presents stunning design advances in Japan. Eighteen recent houses, from ultramodern to Japanese rustic, are explored in depth. Particular emphasis is given to what the author call the Big Idea-the overarching concept that does the most to make the house feel more spacious than it actually is. Among the Big Ideas introduced here are ingenious sources of natural light, well-thought-out atriums, snug but functional kitchens, unobtrusive partitions, and free-flowing circulation paths.An introduction by the author puts the house designs in the context of lifestyle trends, and highlights their shared characteristics. For each project, the intentions of the designers and occupants are examined. The result is a very human sensibility that runs through the book. A glimpse of the dreams and aspirations that these unique homes represent and that belies their apparent modesty.The second half of the book is devoted to illustrating the special features in the homes, from clever storage and kitchen designs, to ingenious skylights and nooks. As with his earlier Small Spaces, Azby Brown has given home owners, designers, and architects a fascinating new collection of thought-provoking ideas.

Book excerpt: In ultra-crowded Japan, the constraints of space and form inspire rather than confound.

Download or read book Shinkenchiku 2005 11 Special Issue written by Shinkenchiku-Sha and published by Shinkenchiku-Sha Company, Limited. This book was released on 2020-01-31 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This reprinted special issue of Shinkenchiku showcases a chronology of 100 Japanese architectural works over time, presented by beautiful photography and drawings with technical data Spanning from the Asuka Period to the 21st Century, this reprinted special issue of Shinkenchiku presents a chronology of Japanese architecture from the perspective of 'space'. With a focus on photography, this issue allows readers to draw relationships between 100 architectural projects and the eras that produced them. It is often said that architecture does not 'grow on its own', and that it reflects human will and the varying combinations of the cultural, political, and economic situations of the time. It is also true that spatial architectural expressions are the result of all human activities and their underlying values and are not something that can neatly be confined to a particular age. With this in mind, the catalogue presents this accumulation of Japanese spatial expressions to encourage the creation of new histories to contemplate. Beyond being visually provocative, this special book also contains a chronological catalogue of technical drawings to supplement any investigations. Text in Japanese.
Download or read book Measure and Construction of the Japanese House written by Heino Engel and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A remarkable classic work on traditional Japanese architecture and its general integrative quality, the order of space and form, the flexibility of partitions and room functions and other important or unique qualities. The author describes in detail, and with numerous architectural plans and drawings, the influence of the anatomy of the Japanese human body on traditional units of measurement and on house construction. This work is not simply a description of the features of the Japanese house, but "an invitation to probe the possibilities of utilizing this architectural achievement of the Japanese …in modern living and building," according to the author, who further believes that the unique features of the Japanese house are better suited to serve as a pattern for contemporary housing than any other form of residential structure.

In parallel, essays by the curators and by Hiuroyasu Fujiola and Kenjiro Hosaka, along with biographies of all the architects, painstakingly map the country's domestic architecture"--
