弘前市における明治以降〜昭和戦前期の都市独立住宅の展開 : 都市独立住宅の配置・平面原理に関する計画史的研究(その5)

Abstract

In the present study, undertaken in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture, we have investigated the change of the housing plan from samurai houses to urban independent residences, from the Meiji to Showa eras (before world war II). We aimed to clarify the succession and the modification of the "front facing principle", the primary factor underlying the modification, and the time of the modification. Conclusions; The "zashiki" rooms of samurai houses in the Hirosaki feudal clan faced the front entrance of the land following the so called "front facing principle". In addition, there was a ground plan unique to the Hirosaki feudal Clan. This "front facing principle" and Hirosaki's unique ground plan have been succeeded by matcing plan of urban independent residences build after the Meiji Era, that is, south fasing "zashiki" on south facing land and north facing "zashiki on north facing land. South facing "zashiki" rooms on the north facing lands, however, emerged in the early Showa eras.
