Synopsis
A remarkable classic work on traditional Japanese architecture, and how the style and features can serve as a model for contemporary residential buildings. With incredible detail (as well as numerous architectural plans and drawings), author and architect Heino Engel describes everything from room functions and the flexibility of partitions to the influence of human anatomy on Japanese units of measure. Rather than exploring why the traditional Japanese house is built the way it is, Engel delves into the practical information: what the Japanese house is and how it is built. This book is not simply a description of the features of the Japanese house, but "an invitation to probe the possibilities of utilising this architectural achievement of the Japanese...in modern living and building," according to the author, who further believes that the unique details of the Japanese house are better suited as a pattern for contemporary housing than any other form of residential structure. With a new foreword by architect and professor Mira Locher, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, this updated hardcover edition brings this popular work to modern readers -- in hopes that they may find ideas to adopt into their own home., A remarkable classic work on traditional Japanese architecture, and how the style and features can serve as a model for contemporary residential buildings.

With a new foreword by architect and professor Mira Locher, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, this updated hardcover edition brings this popular work to modern readers--in hopes that they may find ideas to adopt into their own home., The fundamental topics under consideration in this book are the Japanese ordering of space and form, the flexible arrangement of partitions and room functions in a Japanese home, and the general integrative quality of traditional Japanese architecture. The author describes in detail-with abundant architectural plans and drawings-the influence of body anatomy on traditional Japanese units of measurement and house construction. The layout, framework and methods of space control (shoji, fusuma, etc.), the shutters and doors used in the house, and many other topics are given comprehensive treatment. This book is not simply a description of the features of the typical Japanese house, but, as the author states, also "an invitation to probe the possibilities of utilizing this architectural achievement of the Japanese ... in modern living and building." The author 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 architecture. Book jacket.
