Abstract
The aim of this study is to clarify the paradigmatic characteristics of the composition of exterior space in Japanese contemporary architecture. Exterior spatial elements are defined from superposition of two characters; solid-plane and artificial natural. Compositions of exterior space are formed by arrangement of those exterior spatial elements. So 16 types of composition are found. Comparing the every type, three compositional actions of architectural parts are clarified. Finally three fundamental compositions are pointed out ; complemented relation between buildings and volumes of trees, hierarchical integration of buildings and other elements, emphasis of arrangements forms.
