The Influence Of Japanese Factors On Modernist Architects Wright And

Civilization is converging, human intelligence can climb the ethnic and cultural gap to achieve a common civilization. Japanese traditional architecture has touched many modernist architects with its own unique charm. The list of Wright and Mies is just the tip of the iceberg. Under the influence of Japanese factors, the modern architecture has found the way to integrate into the eternal nature and the starting point of human nature. Thinking about these Eastern genes may help us to look back on our own tradition.The second chapter and the third chapter discuss the space of traditional Japanese architecture and the origin of modern architecture and Japan. Japan’s traditional architecture has its own unique natural conditions, religious factors, and from the neighboring countries to absorb advanced technology for its own use. It reflects the fusion of nature, cycle, infinite space and has a modulus. The origin of modern architecture and Japan starts from the "Japanese style" in nineteenth Century. I also talk about Wright was inspired by Edward Morse, Ernest Fenollosa and Arthur Dow. Japanese factors influence the final resolution of the American box and the formation of organic thought. Mies’ thought of space also benefited from Wright. Romano Guardini strengthened the philosophy of Mies, which is similar to the Orient. Largely resulting in similarity between Mies’space and Oriental space.The fourth chapter is divided into five aspects:Architecture and space, the horizontal building space, the modular system and the standardization, the material itself, and the "empty" philosophy, dismantling Wright’s and Mies’architecture, Stripping out their characteristics of the Japanese factors. These features include the breaking of Western perfect independent of geometry, pay attention to indoor and outdoor space to undertake the transformation; in horizontal space through the interface level enhancement, column, wall "through" Ming processing and spatial overlap etc. technique create infinite space; in a grid control of scale and construction; treat materials in good faith and to the real space thinking.
