Since the first Japanese public museum was opened in 1926, the public museums have been playing the role as main cultural facilities in regional community. The purpose of this study is to describe the development process of Japanese public museums by analyzing their spatial configurations. This study treats 109 Japanese public museums. Analyses revealed that the scale of the public museums consistently became larger after the 2nd World War, and the number of newly-established public museums has increased until 1980s. Until 1960s, exhibition spaces were core of public museums. Since the 1980s, there are two types public museums. One type is variety arrangements of functional floor areas. Another type has distributed organizations of exhibition spaces.

This paper is an attempt to study on the suburban developments around Nagoya in the modern age and here is analyzed Shinmaiko Bunka-mura "Syoroen" in terms of its historical background as well as its spatial characteristics of the town and the houses. Although Shinmaiko was developed as a seaside resort town in 1910's, it was redeveloped as a suburban residential area named "Syoroen" by a railway company during 1920-1930's. The town was planned by Susumu Shinoda who was the part-time architect of Aichi-denkitetsudo Co.Ltd. In those days. Its road and public facilities such as station, clubhouse and houses are organized around a roundabout and harmoniously designed.

This study aims to clarify the dynamics of sawmill location in the mid-mountainous area in relation to infrastructure and factory power, using Tsukechi as a case study. As a result of the analysis, in the past, proximity to water for turning water mills was important for the location of sawmills, but with the spread of electricity and trucks, proximity to the old highway and the surrounding environment became more important for location. Distribution of locations was established, with factories clustered along the highway and scattered at the foot of the mountains.

By surveying village Sinto architecture with historical plaques of Simousa fief once a part of Chiba-ken, we can find out the activities of the sculptors represented as Takeda Juzaburo in the late Edo period. We are able to draw out our results by examining the materials as follows; Four sculptors named Takeda Juzaburo once lived in Yuuki, near the northern part of Kanto area, where some shrines have an extreme amount of wood-curving. They had spread the use of large amounts of wood-curving in shrines in the fief, and carved onto not only the panels used as decorative transoms but also entire wooden walls of shrine from 1806 to 1822.

The paper aims to clarify the value of MR as a tool for presenting information and promoting dialogue in the design process. First, we constructed an MR-based information presentation tool, which was exhibited in the event space. After that, we conducted user observation and analyzed the scenes. The effectiveness of MR was recognized as a tool to induce users to view information in a way that the information presenters intended through experiential sequences, and to make it easier for users of the tool to clarify the main and sub-information through looping in the experience.

There is an “Illegality” on people's activity like hawkers on street. It can be considered coexistence of the spontaneous order as “code” and free behavior without restriction from the law. With that background, Hawker's behavior was analyzed through the comparison with the cases of 4 South-East Asian Cities based on following 3 aims.1. To show the effective utilization through a classification of eating activities on the street as an urban public space.2. To discover the “code” developed from hawker's relations between themselves as a making spontaneous order with their unspoken agreement.3. To obvious the relationship between citie's “code“ and people's behavior.

Mixed Reality (MR), which has been attracting attention in recent years, is a technology that allows digital information to be superimposed on real space. By using this technology, designers can place a 3D model of a design proposal in a real space, and proceed with the design while grasping the various information and elements that exist in the real space and the design proposal in an integrated manner. In addition, people who do not specialize in architectural design will be able to participate in the design process while smoothly grasping concrete spatial images of a proposal. This study examines the impact of the experience of space through such MR on the design process. First, we conducted design experiments using MR, where architectural students participated. The experimental conditions were set in which pairs worked together to design a rest area in the plaza at the University of Tokyo. Models, drawings, and MR were used as design tools. Then, the theoretical framework for MR space is organized. The possible effects of experience the complex relationship between real space elements and design proposals in MR space on changing perceptions of the design subject are discussed. In this study, we organized the existing theories of VR and MR space, and some cases where visual information in MR space has influenced the design are considered. After that, a few cases of non-visual information in MR space influenced the design are discussed. We considered the influence of the experience of MR space on the design of relationships, and in conclusion, confirmed the two values of MR in the design process. First, through the experience of MR space, not only it becomes possible to grasp the design object in an integrated manner with the surrounding space, but also the MR design plan contributes to the formation of a frame to recapture the surrounding environment. That leads to the discovery of hidden elements of space that were previously unrecognized. The possibility of MR as a tool that can consider and develop a design proposal while flexibly reframe according to the situation without strictly setting the frame that captures the target in the design tool construction stage is pointed out. Second, by discovering the elements of the visible space and the relationships between them through MR, it would become possible to focus on the non-visual elements that exist in the surrounding space. This would point out the usefulness of MR, which makes it possible to examine design proposals under a lot of information and conditions while capturing a wider and more detailed target. In the future, it will be necessary to conduct research that will give designers a clearer spatial image that is even closer to the real space. It is necessary to acquire the knowledge to seamlessly integrate online and offline information, we need to find an appropriate balance in integrating digital information and real-world information.

Hideyori constructed a lot of temples and shrines. Investigation into munahuda and bokushomei of these temples and shrines makes clear the character of sakuzi structure of Hideyori. Among them, the forms of sakuzi projects are divided into two. One is carpenters and craftman dispatched by Toyotomi performed sakuzi(A), and the other is carpenters belonging each temples and local carpenters performed it as the main constituents(B), with the money and magistrates of Toyotomi. By examining the forms of sakuzi projects by Hideyori, it's found that form(A) was taken in many cases with active mobilization, but form(B) also existed widely. And the chief carpenter who generally direct the sakuzi project like Nakai Masakiyo did not exist. It suggests the limit of sakuzi structure of Hideyori and it is doubtful it worked entirely as an organization.

The present study investigated the natural environment, including factors such as food and landscape, as a case study for dried potato production in Hitachinaka City, Ibaraki, Japan. The specific regional production environment and production behavior involved in agriculture and food production was considered. The production environment included the subsistence history, terrain, climate, soil, and land use. Production behavior included food production processes and agricultural living conditions. In addition, a community-building method based on the natural environment was developed considering these elements to preserve the cultural landscape. To achieve this, agricultural land use was assessed, and a questionnaire was developed to interview farmers and related organizations. Surveys revealed that the environmental factors considered for suitable production and cultivation conditions included the sea breeze from the Pacific Ocean coast, dry and sunny winter, black soil, drying space for potatoes, and subsistence of sideline and core businesses. From the survey, the important factors for production behavior included the slicing and arranging of potatoes, cultivation of Tamayutaka seeds, seedling cultivation in Satsumashiro, hanging out in sunlight, collaboration between farmers and short-term employers, and steam rising from the workplace on winter mornings. Finally, it is important to clarify the terroir of these foods and the landscape. A community-building method for effective dried potato production was developed based on survey results to include human resource development to relate food production and the landscape, to construct a collaborative platform to share images of food and scenery, to consider a regional coordinator, and to study information transmission techniques.

This paper seeks to clarify the spatial composition of Onshi-yashiki (dwelling place of the exorcist of Ise shrine) in Uji Religious town around Naiku of Ise shrine during the early modem period through an analysis of surviving archival material, especially "Ujigo-no-zu" drawn in 1861. In result the spatial composition of Onshi-yashiki was classified into 3 types. First type was the upper class Onshi-yashiki which had been established in the late medieval period and had the large dwelling place with an approach. So it was located separating from the main street and generally holded several frontage buildings for subordinate habitants (Maeyashiki). Second and third types had Tanzaku (like a strip of paper) type dwelling places which were aligned with the main street and increased during the early modern period. Second type was also the upper class Onshi-yashiki which had the large frontage with a gate. 0n the other hand, third type was the common Onshi-yashiki with the narrow frontage like a Machiya.

This paper aims to grasp the “markets” in postwar Tokyo in diachronic perspective. The previous studies have tended to deal “markets” as extraordinary spaces only in immediate postwar years. But this paper will try to deal them as ordinary spaces by clarification of the basis of their existence. Especially, I found the censuses about the “markets” which have not been known so much, and consider the similar commercial spaces in previous or next era such as stalls, retail markets, tenant buildings. This paper will reconsider the significances of “markets” through these works and the consideration of my former paper.

The Great East Japan Earthquake includes the nuclear power plant accident in Fukushima. The disaster still goes on. We have to record what happens and consider what we should prepare for the next disaster. The nuclear power plant disaster requires zoning for evacuation. It can be classified into three types.  1. Zoning for Emergency Evacuation -2011.3. 11 – 4.21: it has to be decided under uncertain situations. The national government adopted the physical numerical value as a zoning line. On the other hand, local municipalities often used their own territory as a border. The current evacuation plan, which has been institutionalized after the Fukushima F-1, cannot realize its agenda at the next disaster.  2. Zoning for Temporary Sheltering 2011.4. 22 – 9.30: it is strongly influenced by the contamination level and will influence the future one. If the locals require for the strict decontamination, it will face difficulties in terms of construction work and storage place for contaminated soil. The municipality and community may discuss this conflicted matter from ordinary times.  3. Zoning for Protracted Refuge -2011.10.1-: the protracted term is very various including the negative repatriation area. However, it is also timed zoning in a similar way of other restraint order zones. The national government tries to construct a central hub for the negative repatriation area. We have to figure out a new methodology for this zone considering the relationship between non-returners and their home town. As the conditions of lifting the evacuation, the national government offered to prepare for the living environment. There is a difference between the consciousness of national government, and the reality of the damaged area and people.  After the experience of Fukushima F-1 Disaster, we should understand that the zoning system cannot guarantee the evacuation from the nuclear power plant accident nor settle the turmoil by the contamination.

ユジノ-サハリンスク市は、1905年から1945年までは豊原と呼ばれ、日木統治下の南サハリンにおける中心都市であった。そのため、市内には当時の建造物が数多く残されている。その現存状況については1996年から予備的調査を実施し、72件の建造物(群)については日本建築学会技術報告集第5号にも報告したが、短期間での調査のために未調査地域や誤謬も多かった。そのような事情を踏まえて、第1回小渕フェローシップにおける派遣研究活動および文部科学省科学研究費基盤研究(B)(2)「南サハリンにおける日本統治期(1905-1947)の建造物に関する広域実態調査」の一環として、ユジノ-サハリンスク全市域を対象とした建造物状況の再調査を2001年度に実施し、43の建築物群、総数93件の日本期建造物についてその状況を把握した。本稿はその概要を報告するものである。サハリンでの建造物調査においては日本の建造物を判別する方法が難しく、前回の調査ではこれを確立できなかったが、ここでは以下に挙げる3つのうち、いずれかを満たすものを日本期建造物と判断した。1)当時の地図・図版や写真から日本期建造物と判断されるもの、2)日本期建造物を特徴付けるような、ロシア建築には見られない部材や構造的特徴をもつもの、3)旧豊原市の居住者やユジノ-サハリンスク居住歴の長いロシア人の知識人など、日本期建造物に関して知識を有している人物から複数の証言が得られたもの。判明した43の日本期建造物(群)は、便宜上旧建築用途によって官庁建築・産業施設・商業建築・宗教建築・上木建造物と記念碑の5つに分類して概説した。日本期の官庁建築には日ソ交替期にソ連軍に接収され、現在あるいは近年まで軍事施設として利用されているものが多く、管理や修繕が比較的行き届いたものが多い。とりわけ樺太庁技師貝塚良雄の設計による旧樺太庁中央試験所本館(P-5, 1933年)・同温室(P-6,1934年)・旧樺太庁会議室(P-8, 1935年)・旧樺太庁博物館(P-9, 1937年)などは、全体的なプロポーション細部意匠の巧みさや施工精度の高さで注目すべき存在である。産業施設群にはサハリンにおける近代工場の嚆矢である旧樺太庁豊原乾溜工場(I-1, 1911年)のほか、旧王子製紙豊原工場(I-3, 1917年)、旧樺太製糖豊原工場(I-4, 1931年)などサハリンの近代化を語る上で無視できないものが多い。ただいずれの工場も軍事施設、機械修理工場、製菓工場に転用されており、日本期の状態を回復することは難しい。商業建築の中では旧北海道拓殖銀行豊原支店(C-1, 1931年)が白眉であり、現在はユジノ-サハリンスク美術館に転用されているが、この他にもあわせて3件の店舗・店蔵の現存が確認された。サハリン全域でも商業建築の現存例はほとんどないため貴重である。ユジノ-サハリンスクの日本期住宅は製紙工場・製糖工場の社宅群や樺太庁官舎群など数の上では多くの建造物が現存するが、いくつかの例外を除けば良好な状態とはいえない。また、外壁・開口部・屋根部材のいずれもがロシア風の部材に改変されているため、古い木造住宅はソ連時代のものとの識別が大変に難しい。しかしながら、サハリン各地にある全半壊した日本期住宅群を調査する限り、主要な柱や基礎部分にはほとんど改変が見られないため、同様の手法で改変されたと見られる木造住宅群をここではロシア化された日本期建築(Russianized Japanese Buildings)として調査対象に加えた。住宅建築の中では旧樺太庁部長官舎(H-3)や旧樺太庁拓殖学校校長官舎(H-10)の現存状態が良好であることが注目される。宗教建築についてはSamarin, I. A.の研究があり、校倉造に似せたコンクリート造の旧樺太神社宝物殿(R-5, 1940年?)と権現造の旧招魂社本殿基礎(R-4)が歴史的建造物として知られている。また、サハリン各地に現存している奉安殿がユジノ-サハリンスク市内には1件も存在しないことも特徴的である。土木建造物としては、コンクリート造の橋が2件現存している(M-1, M-2)。また、旧師範学校寄宿舎(S3)、旧樺太庁鉄道事務所職員官舎群(S-2)など日本期建造物群の可能眩か高い5件の建造物(群)については、確証を得られなかった建造物群(suspected Japanese buildings)として別記した。これらの確認は今後の課題としたい。ユジノ-サハリンスク市内にはあわせて90件以上の日本期建造物の現存が明らかになったが、この数字の評価は難しい。なぜなら、中国東北部や朝鮮半島、台湾といった他の旧海外植民地と比較するなら大きな数字ではないが、都市の起源・発展経緯・人口・規模において類似点の多い、稚内(2件)・北見(6件)・釧路(1件)・根室(6件)といった北海道北部あるいは東部の諸都市に比べて、むしろ恵まれた部類に属する。とりわけ、サハリンスカヤ通(旧真岡通)を中心とした旧市街地北部には、旧樺太守備隊の建築群や旧王子製紙工場施設群を中心として日本期建造物が集中しており、歴史的建築物群としての価値も十分に有している。しかしながら、現在のロシアではこうした建造物群に対する法的保護を図ることは難しい。ユジノ-サハリンスク市内で歴史的建造物として認知されているものは、旧樺太庁博物館や旧北海道拓殖銀行豊原支店などわずか6件のみである。しかしながら、ロシア側と日本側が協力体制を深めてこれら日本期建造物の保護に努めることは、両国の友好関係や相互理解の深化にとっても有効な方策であろう。

The Restration of Todai-ji Daibutsu-den in the Meiji Era began in 1891 and was completed in 1913. The design of restoration changed many times, but the last they designed "Katetsutyu", it put steels into wooden pillars and fasten steel truss. This paper introduces these designs, and analyzes the last plan based on 1) the plan of wooden truss designed by Suketaro Kagotani and others, and 2) the hoop-iron construction it was also known as Tsumakishiki-koho. It is the transitional technique in the first stage of introducing steel structures to Japan.

This paper analizes the actual design process of <i>Castillo de Felipe III</i> in La Mamora, Morocco, constructed as an enclave by Spain of Felipe III in 1614. The military engineer who designed the Castle was Cristóbal de Rojas, the most important Spanish military engineer in that period. And this paper demonstrates that its design was to establish an appropriated inner space or area of the Castle in order to accomodate a certain number of solders who would be stationed in it. In the final process, the inner space or area was set by an inner circumference as a value that defines the proportion of the Castle. This paper also shows that this actual design process is not explained in the treatises of Rojas.
