Internationales Holzbau-Forum 2004 2 Prefabricated House-Building Systems in Japan 10. Internationales Holzbau-Forum 2004 Prefabricated House-Building Systems in Japan 1 Introduction About 1.2 million housing units have been newly built in Japan every year although new house- building market in Japan has gradually declined after the end of “Bubble Economy Period” in early 90s. It means that 9 to 10 housing units per 1000 inhabitants have been newly built every year. This number is still much more than other advanced countries such as 6 in USA, 4 to 5 in Germany and France, 3 in UK etc. This huge market can be divided into two parts. A half is occupied with detached houses built by large prefabricated house manufacturers as well as rather small local builders. Another half is occupied with multi-family dwellings built by general contractors. This paper’s focus is on the former half, namely detached house-building market in Japan. The composition of the detached house-building market is: A little less than 20 % occupied with prefabricated house manufacturers, a little less than 10 % with North American timber frame house builders, a little less than 70% with conventional wooden house builders and the rest with other kinds. -

Analysis of Japanese and Finnish Furniture
University of Lapland, Faculty of Art and Design Name of the Pro gradu thesis: ANALYSIS OF JAPANESE AND FINNISH FURNITURE DESIGN: A consideration for product identity and the relativity of industrial development and cultural context Writer: Akiko Nakatani Degree programme: Industrial Design Type of the work: Pro gradu thesis Number of pages: 97 pages, 3 attachments Year: Spring 2011 Summary In a globalized product design market, firms take national identity into consideration to survive among the competitors, because a particular identifying feature can be the decision making factor for customers to buy a particular product. In such a situation, you may realize something as “Japanese-like” or “Finnish-like” in designs as you hold the product in your hand. But why do you think like that? The aim of this study is to clarify the factors that characterize these ideas, in terms of furniture design, with a focus on industrial development and the cultural contexts of Japan and Finland. The study is twofold, with a theoretical framework and an empirical framework. The theoretical analysis works with cultural industrial context and also argues that the transition of industrial development significantly affects national product design orientation and helps characterize products. The empirical analysis works with questionnaires concerning product image. The results conceptualize cultural references in both Japanese and Finnish furniture design. However, the results also present the realistic difficulty of recognizing products. The paper concludes by arguing that factors affecting customer’s decision making are also influenced by not only product design but the socio-culture they belong to. Therefore, measuring product image is not the only way to define national product identity, and the image is formed by both customers and product design factors. -
The Architecture of Metabolism. Inventing a Culture of Resilience
Arts 2014, 3, 279-297; doi:10.3390/arts3020279 OPEN ACCESS arts ISSN 2076-0752 www.mdpi.com/journal/arts Article The Architecture of Metabolism. Inventing a Culture of Resilience Meike Schalk Meike Schalk, Assistant Professor, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and the Built Environment, Östermalmsgatan 26, 100 44 Stockholm, Sweden; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +46-73-6000906 Received: 10 May 2014; in revised form: 6 June 2014 / Accepted: 10 June 2014 / Published: 13 June 2014 Abstract: The Metabolist movement, with its radical and visionary urban and architectural schemes, drew the attention of an international architecture community to Japan in the 1960s and 1970s. Seen from a contemporary perspective, the movement’s foremost concern was cultural resilience as a notion of national identity. Metabolism responded to the human and environmental catastrophe that followed the atomic bombing of Japan and vulnerability to natural disasters such as earthquakes, with architecture envisioning the complete transformation of Japan as a system of political, social, and physical structures into resilient spatial and organizational patterns adaptable to change. Projecting a utopia of resilience, Metabolism employed biological metaphors and recalled technoscientific images which, together with the vernacular, evoked the notion of a genetic architecture able to be recreated again and again. A specific concern was to mediate between an urbanism of large, technical and institutional infrastructures and the freedom of the individual. My aim is to critically examine the notion of sustainable architecture by rereading Metabolist theories and products, such as terms, models, projects, and buildings. For a better understanding of the present discourse, this text searches for a possible history of sustainable architecture, a subject mostly presented ahistorically. -
M Housing/Moving
Multilingual Living Information M Housing/Moving Back to the top of M Housing/Moving residence Broadly speaking, there are three types of Japanese housing: "owned housing," "public subsidized housing," and "private rental housing." This section explains the features of each type of housing, size and layout of Japanese housing, description of floors, and community associations, as well as other details. 1 Housing 1-1 About Japanese housing (1) Owned housing House with ownership is called mochi-ie (literally, owned housing) in Japan. There are various kinds of building such as stand-alone housing and apartment. In order to own a house, you need to undergo a series of procedures and sign various contracts concerning purchase. When building your own house, there are various requirements that need to be kept. For details, please refer to "2 Owned Housing" in this chapter. (2) Public subsidized housing Public subsidized housing (koteki jutaku) is provided by the local authorities (metropolitan or prefectural government, municipal government, etc.) and public corporations. They are rented at lower rent for people who have difficulty finding a house, and include todofuken-ei jutaku (administrated by the metropolitan or prefectural government), kumin jutaku (administrated by the ward), shi-ei jutaku (administrated by the city), cho-ei jutaku (administrated by the town), UR chintai jutaku (rental housing administrated by the Urban Renaissance Agency). Each of them has specific eligibility rules for residency, and only those meeting these requirements can move in. For details, please refer to "3 Public Subsidized Housing." (3) Private rental housing Private rental housing (chintai jutaku) refers to houses, apartments and other condominium units for rent. -
The Lesson of the Japanese House
Structural Studies, Repairs and Maintenance of Heritage Architecture XV 275 LEARNING FROM THE PAST: THE LESSON OF THE JAPANESE HOUSE EMILIA GARDA, MARIKA MANGOSIO & LUIGI PASTORE Politecnico di Torino, Italy ABSTRACT Thanks to the great spiritual value linked to it, the Japanese house is one of the oldest and most fascinating architectural constructs of the eastern world. The religion and the environment of this region have had a central role in the evolution of the domestic spaces and in the choice of materials used. The eastern architects have kept some canons of construction that modern designers still use. These models have been source of inspiration of the greatest minds of the architectural landscape of the 20th century. The following analysis tries to understand how such cultural bases have defined construction choices, carefully describing all the spaces that characterize the domestic environment. The Japanese culture concerning daily life at home is very different from ours in the west; there is a different collocation of the spiritual value assigned to some rooms in the hierarchy of project prioritization: within the eastern mindset one should guarantee the harmony of spaces that are able to satisfy the spiritual needs of everyone that lives in that house. The Japanese house is a new world: every space is evolving thanks to its versatility. Lights and shadows coexist as they mingle with nature, another factor in understanding the ideology of Japanese architects. In the following research, besides a detailed description of the central elements, incorporates where necessary a comparison with the western world of thought. All the influences will be analysed, with a particular view to the architectural features that have influenced the Modern Movement. -
N.A. Konovalova COMPACTION of SPACE in CONTEMPORARY
FRINGE BELTS, DEVELOPMENT WITHIN THE NEWEST DEMANDS UDC 721 N.A. Konovalova Scientific Research Institute of the Theory and History of Architecture and Urban Planning, branch of the Federal State Budget Institution “Central Scientific-Research and Project Institute of the Ministry of Construction of the Russian Federation”, 9 Dushinskaya, Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] 1 COMPACTION OF SPACE IN CONTEMPORARY JAPANESE MEGALOPOLISES Abstract: Japan is one of these countries where the problem of urban overconsolidation and, correspondingly, the lack of vacant space, has been present and acute for a long time. If it is impossible to eliminate the population density and the construction boom of large cities, Japan has developed a compensatory mechanism capable of making the negative sides of high density less evident. Reduction of space manifests itself in many elements of urban development: miniature residential buildings have proliferated, capsule-type hotels, gardens and tea houses have shrunk to extremely small sizes. Keywords: high density of Japanese megacities, micro-houses, capsule hotels, modern types of tea houses. Since ancient times, the Japanese have learned to accept things that cannot be changed, and find forms of the most comfortable and productive coexistence with this or that inevitable factor. The problem of high density was not an exception. Reduction of space manifests itself in many elements of urban development: miniature residential buildings have proliferated, capsule-type hotels, gardens and tea houses have shrunk to extremely small sizes. Miniature residential buildings Housing construction in big cities of modern Japan continues to follow the path of increasing density. The individual dwelling house has firmly taken its place in the space of Japanese cities. -

ZenVita Original Japanese Home Designs 10 Ways to Create Your Own Zen House Search magazines and websites dedicated to modern decor, and pictures of Japanese style interiors are easily found. Whether it be a small pot, a Zen garden or a modern reworking of a traditional Japanese room, architects and decorators turn to the east for inspiration. Behind these simple interior designs lies a very particular and distinct way of life. Zen philosophy and its teachings are studied and incorporated widely in modern Japanese architecture, enriching our understanding of what good design is all about. That being said, it is easily understood that Japanese design is not a trend. It will never be out of fashion, and it will never get old, because it forms part of a particular approach of life, a simpler one, without pretense, riches and unnecessary stylistic exaggerations. Above all it reflects the long history of Japan, and the evolution of its philosophy and architecture. The moment you decide to add Japanese style to your house, you have chosen an aesthetic principle. It is not about what kind of painting you will put on the walls anymore, but rather it goes deeper, into what kind of life you want to live. So how can we add a truly Japanese touch to our home? The first step is knowledge, and with this we can help you. Adding a little Japanese style can be easy and inexpensive with the right know-how, style tips and advice.
