  • Bringing the Vernacular Into Modernism
    Scuola Italiana di Studi École Française BY CO-HOSTED sull’Asia Orientale d’Extrême-Orient ISEAS EFEO Friday, December 11th, 18:00h Yola Gloaguen SPEAKER Antonin Raymond’s career allows us to explore the dy- namics and implications of the development of European Bringing and American architectural modernism in a non-Western context. The Czech-born American architect arrived in Japan on the eve of 1920 to assist Frank Lloyd Wright with building the new Imperial Hotel in Tokyo. However, the Vernacular Raymond soon opened his own oce in the capital and became one of the pioneers of modern architecture in Japan. The human and technical challenges taken on by into Modernism Raymond included responding to an increasing demand for the design of villas suited to the Western and Japanese lifestyles of Tokyo’s international elites. This was reected in the spatial design and construction of these new types Architect of houses. The talk will highlight various examples of prewar and postwar residential works, with a focus on how Raymond and his team developed an approach to Antonin Raymond design based on the appropriation and adaptation of selected elements of the Japanese vernacular into the Western modernist idiom, which itself had to be reevalu- in Interwar Japan ated in the particular context of Japan. This approach to Raymond’s work provides a means to reassess the usual binaries of Western inuence and Japanese adaptation through the medium of architecture. Yola Gloaguen is a postdoctoral researcher at the Centre de recherche sur les civilisations de l’Asie orientale–CRCAO, Paris. After receiving her degree in architecture from Paris La Villette School of Architecture, she became a doctoral student at Kyoto University and studied modern architectural history in Japan.

    Overstuffed ‘Gorilla’ Armchair 1941 Installation photograph from Organic Design in Home Furnishings exhibition, designed by Eliot Noyes Photograph by Samuel Gottscho The Museum of Modern Art Archives, New York This tableau from 1941 represented the tradition of “horrible” design against which MoMA curators prepared to crusade. It shows the dismembered carcass of an old-fashioned, overstuffed armchair behind bars, against the backdrop of an enormous gorilla. Using zoological terms, the accompanying label describes the domineering, ungainly monstrosity of the armchair, and the jungle like clutter of its habitat: “Cathedra gargantua, genus americanus. Weight when fully matured, 60 pounds. Habitat, the American Home. Devours little children, pencils, small change, fountain pens, bracelets, clips, earrings, scissors, hairpins, and other small flora and fauna of the domestic jungle.

    Bishop: A Microhistorical Study ofthe Church of Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupre One of the interesting questions raised by the Italian historians engaged in the practice of microhistory concerns the status of archival documents in the construction of a historical explanation.1 At the risk of oversimplifying, one can say that microhistory prefers to see documents as symptoms or clues to be interpreted rather than data to be collected. The search for data is a search for true and positive information, and it is believed that data can be extracted from documents as minerals are extracted from ore. Clues, on the other hand, do not consist of abstract pieces of information supporting inductive reasoning; they remain on the level of the particular, as when we infer the existence of a fire from the smell of smoke. Instead of going from the general to the particular, as in deduction, or from the particular to the general, as in induction, the interpretation of clues goes from the particular to the particular, and constitutes what logicians have called abduction. According to Carlo Ginzburg, the earliest human intellectual act was carried out by a hunter crouching in the mud, examining the footprints of some animal. Footprints are, for the hunter, clues to the passage of a specific animal. They display a certain degree of freshness, a specific direction, a certain depth, and a certain distance from one another. However, all these concrete features, referring to a single event, need to be discarded when biologists search for what is generic and typical about those footprints in order to determine which species live in the area.

The Atomic bombing of Hiroshima and The Great East Japan Earthquake, The Chins Tangshan Earthquake and The Great Wenchuan Earthquake are the cases. The function of the Relief to the cities suffered the disasters and the function of the architects’ activities in construction rebuilding should never be overlooked. Hiroshima is about to begin its 70th year after the atomic bombing. The history of the restoration of Hiroshima will be close referenced to the reconstruction of the areas suffering from natural disasters in the future. This paper taking the reconstruction of the Hiroshima as objects of this study, researching by documentary investigations and interviews and investigations on the spot, analyzing reconstruction of the seismic areas and the architects’ activities as well as the function of these consequent effects. Through the research following findings were obtained. We can observe that most of the building activity that occurred in the burned ruins immediately after the bombing event was performed by local design offices.

He has even been praised as ‘the most influential architect in Japan’ by the critic Kenjiro Okazaki (2006). Fujimori’s popularity is attributable in particular to the fairy tale-like image of his architecture, which tends to appear playful as well as natural and nostalgic. However, this research focuses on the other side of the ‘fairy tale’—specifically, the strangely unfamiliar, even unsettling, feeling that his architecture evokes.

  • The Roof Garden in Japanese Modern Architecture
    KEER2014, LINKÖPING | JUNE 11-13 2014 INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON KANSEI ENGINEERING AND EMOTION RESEARCH The Roof Garden in Japanese Modern Architecture From the End of World War II until 1966 Michiya TSUKANO1, Shoichiro SENDAI2 1 Graduate School, Hiroshima Univ., Japan, [email protected] 2 Graduate School, Hiroshima Univ., Japan, [email protected] Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to clarify the architectural Kansei (sensibility) in Japan since World War II until 1966. Therefore, the authors discuss how the “roof garden,” which did not exist in Japan before then, was transplanted from European Modern to Japanese Modern architecture and how it was applied. In this paper, we adopt the following five indexes: “use,” “building type,” “material,” “structure,” and “location,” using several architectural journals. We have concentrated on the great change in roof gardens in Japanese Modern since 1954 due to the economic growth caused by exceptional procurement during the Korean War, We divided the 1945-1966 period into two parts and analyzed the change in roof gardens by comparing the gardens of each period. As a result, the transitions in the five indexes have become apparent. The roof garden after World War II has been expanding to a range from an international-style architecture seeking the universal rationality to architecture that exceeds rationality and the utilitarian. Moreover, diminishing of the “view,” which had been the subject of roof gardens in the pre-war period due to the high economic growth, has led to fumbling for new functions of the roof garden. In other words, a roof garden in Japan after World War II has been changing in various ways while being involved in the attenuation of architectural kansei (sensibility) of “view.” Keywords: Architectural Kansei, Japanese Modern Architecture, Roof Garden, Economic Growth.
