Building and landscape: the interaction of natural and urban motifs in modern architecture of Japan

Architecton: Proceedings of Higher Education №2 (82) June, 2023

The article provides an analysis of the interaction between natural and urban motives in architecture based on projects implemented in Japan and in other countries by Japanese architectural firms. The features of the Japanese culture and philosophy that had a direct impact on its architecture are outlined. Based on a study of texts and graphic material, we suggest a classification of interactions between natural and urban elements by the nature of interaction, type of the main natural element, and its use.
