Japanese architecture




This is yet another example I choose to contrast with my previous pieces. I am a big fan of Japanese lifestyle; it encompasses special awareness with comforting angles, and I believe that cultural values and traits have a profound architecture. As you can see in the example shows above, the dimensions and lines, which may seem rashly positioned at first, have really been placed for a reason. For example, in the lower right corner of the image, there is an open space which is indicated by the furniture included as a relaxing space, and this is encouraged by a section of relief at the top of the building, whereas the window to the left is overhung by a section which serves to enclose the section. This image contrasts to the previous ones because it focuses more on small detail and ways that depth and angle can subconsciously direct us to feel differently about certain points on the structure.
