OSPKYOCT 40: Japanese Modern Architecture

This seminar is an introduction to Japanese architecture through the prism of the history and theory of architecture in Japan. The objective is to provide a comprehensive understanding of "what is Japanese architecture?" Apart from the existing literature and the present-day knowledge on the field of Japanese architecture, the presence of architectural heritage in Japan and in Kyoto city in particular is also a valuable way to discover Japanese architecture "on site". The topic of this seminar is to understand the synchronicity of both contemporary and ancient architecture in the XXIst century, and the importance of beingimmersed in this human-made heritage. The formation and the production of Japanese modern architecture is the result of a historical process, and interpretations of the past, which have adapted to the contemporary milieu, and physical, social and mental possibilities. Thus, this seminar will alternate a theoretical approach, through on-class seminar presentations, and "fieldwork", as active on-site visits of architectural works. KCJS course #EAAS 3993 OC 7
