Abstract
In this paper we clarified characteristics of relationship between spatial scales and frameworks of Japanese contemporary houses in terms of frame elements and module. Initially, we analyzed their arrangements of beams and columns, and found several framework shapes. Secondly, we analyzed their material, span and numbers of framework. Thirdly, we analyzed their unit spaces, materials and cross-sectional shapes of column, and found several characteristics of sizes and proportions. In conclusion, we pointed out that most of units spaces were articulated according to proportion and each size of framework, and that indicates spatial scales based on relationship between proportion and module of framework.
