接客本位論の誤謬 : 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7)

Abstract

Modern detached urban residences embody principles that respect Facing south too much. The principle of the samurai ;houses and detached urban residences in.and after the Meiji era differed very much from todays houses. Obviously the principle must have changed some time after the Meiji era. The problem was what caused this change and what was the historical background for it. In the present study, we focus our discussion on this point. Modern thoughts on house planning have been influenced strongly by modernism, following the Western style Meiji era was the major cause the change of principle. One of the criticisms made in the Taisho era, for example, was that old conventional houses were built givivg too much of consideration to the guests, Consequently, living rooms for the family were neglected. One of the criticisms points out that the best position in the house was occupied by guest rooms and the living rooms were pushed away to the north side. However, we found that more than a half of the houses investigated had living rooms on the southern side of the houses indicating that the criticism mentioned above is incorrect.
