The Art of Japanese Architecture By: Michiko Young
The
Art of Japanese Architecture explores the simplicity, asymmetry,
sensitivity to the natural environment, and use of natural materials
that are the hallmarks of Japanese architecture. These elements are
explored and clarified in this cultural and historical overview of the
rapidly changing world of Japanese architecture.
Beginning
with a discussion of prehistoric pit dwellings and concluding with a
description of significant modern buildings, David and Michiko Young,
authors of the 2006 American Horticultural Award-winning book, The Art
of the Japanese Garden, analyze the major changes in architecture caused
by the introduction of Buddhist culture, the development of feudalism,
the influence of Western culture and the adaptation of the international
style in contemporary buildings.
