This course surveys Japanese history from ancient to modern times through thematic studies of architecture and city design. Japanese architecture has provided a key point of reference for modern architects around the world. Recent reinterpretations of native tradition by Japanese architects have been equally influential in the field of postmodern design. Historical study reveals that Japanese architecture comprises not one, but many traditions, each of which evolved in interaction with changes in the social and political environment. We will use close contextual analyses of particular sites and spaces to move beyond the cultural generalizations, and see "tradition" in its complexity. Topics will include Shinto shrines and the imperial state, the cult of tea and teahouse aesthetics, vernacular dwellings, the spatial semiotics of Edo-Tokyo, and Japanese design in the context of nineteenth-century Orientalism. A substantial amount of our material for study will be visual, and the work of the course will demand a lot of hard looking (as well as a little experimentation in building). Prerequisites: No previous knowledge of either Japan or architecture is required. Requirements and Grading: The course requirements consist of one 10-15 page analytic paper and participation in class discussions. Papers should discuss either one of the additional readings or a particular building, artwork, or other object, in relation to its historical context. There will also be two or three short quizzes and visual exercises. Performance will be weighted as follows: Paper50%, Discussion30%,Exercises20% Check Times, Location, and Availability Cost: No Data Given. Waitlist Code: No Data Given. ASIAN 492.
