Japanese architects are known for their use beams and post. Their architecture incorporates Japan's natural environment and is different from Western architecture. Japanese people see architecture as a technical concept and not an art.
The Japanese government recognized the need for specialists in architecture in the early Meiji period. Yorinaka SUMAKI, one of the twenty young people they sent, stayed in Germany for three more years. They returned to Japan and played an important role within the architectural community. The Japanese government sought to build many government offices during this period. To modernize their country, they also used Western architectural technology. They had to learn how to build structures capable of withstanding earthquakes. They also developed quake-resistant technologies.
Many traditional buildings were destroyed as the economy expanded during the Meiji period. Japan's government realized then that Western architectural technologies needed to be introduced to Japan. The postwar restoration period gave them the opportunity to grow. The Japanese architectural movement discovered many opportunities to develop during this period. These developments included both private and modern public buildings.
Bukezukuri style was popular during the Kamakura Period. This style was perfect for aristocratic culture. This architectural style was characterized by a pond located at the back. Shitomido doors separated the exterior from the shinden. This architecture is often called Higashi Sanjoden.
Castle architecture was also developed between 1573-1615 during the Momoyama era. These structures represented the power and symbolism of unification, and they were also a symbol for the shogunate. This period saw the height limit lowered from 31 meters to 31 meters. Castle towers were also built during this time. Many traditional cityscapes were decimated as a result.
In the Second World War, the Japanese architectural movement suffered a significant blow. Many of the traditional structures were demolished and many people expressed concern about the appearance Japanese cities. These concerns led to the creation of the Landscape Law which stressed the beauty of cities. It made it obligatory for citizens that they visit a local shrine. These requirements were not Christian in nature and required that all citizens attend the shrine. Additionally, they were based in part on Buddhist concepts.
Japan's Edo period was marked by a surge in popular and religious culture. Chinese architectural styles began to be reintroduced in Japan due to growing interest. The Kyoto Imperial Palace is well-known for its beautifully designed gardens. It was built during Edo. In addition, the Three-Story Pagoda of Hokki-ji Temple is considered to be the oldest temple in its original structure.
Along with China and Korea and Western cultures such the Renaissance, Baroque and Baroque, a large part of Japanese architecture's development has been played by Western cultures. German assistance was provided to the Japanese government. The Japanese government also commissioned foreign architects for some of the structures.

How To
Do you prefer renovating exterior or interior?
Which one should I first do?
There are many factors to consider when deciding which project to start with. The most important factor to consider is whether the building has been around for a while. There are many factors to consider if the building is older, such as its roof, condition, windows, doors and flooring. You should also consider the design, location, size, number and style of the building.
If the building has an older roof, it is worth looking at the roof first. If it looks like the roof could collapse any minute now, you may want to start on the renovation. The roof should be in good shape before you move on to the next stage. Next, look at the windows. You might need to replace them if they are damaged or stained. After this, go through the doorways and make sure that they are clean and free from debris. You can now begin to install the flooring if everything looks fine. You want to make sure the flooring is sturdy and solid so it doesn't break no matter how much you walk on it. Now you can start to add the walls. Check the walls for cracks and damage. If the wall is in good condition, you can move on to the next step. You can now inspect the ceiling. Check the ceiling and make sure that it is strong enough to hold up whatever weight you decide to put on it. You can then move on with your renovation if everything looks good.
You would want to begin with the exterior if the building was recently built. The exterior of the home should be examined first. Is the house well-maintained? Are there cracks or holes? Does it look good? If it doesn't look good, you need to fix it. You don’t want to make your home look bad. Next, inspect the foundation. The foundation should be inspected for weakness and repaired. Also, inspect your driveway. It should be flat and smooth. If it's not, then you should fix it. Also check the sidewalk when you are checking the driveway. It should be replaced if it is uneven.
Once you have completed these inspections, you can now move on inside the house. Begin by inspecting the kitchen. Is the kitchen clean and well maintained? If it is messy, then you should probably clean it up. Next, check the appliances. The appliances should be in good working order. If they're not, you can either replace them or repair them. Check the cabinets after this. Paint them if they're stained or scratched. You can then move on to the bathroom if they are in good condition. Here, check the toilet. If the toilet is leaking, you will need to replace it. You can wash it if it is just dirty. Next, check out all the fixtures. Make sure they're clean. If they are dirty, then you should definitely clean them. Finally, you should inspect the countertops. You should repaint countertops that are cracked or chipped. Use a sealant if they're shiny and smooth.
Final step: Check your furniture. You should make sure nothing is broken or missing. If something is missing, then you should probably find it. You should repair anything that is damaged. After you've checked everything, it is possible to move outside and complete the job.
