Analysis on Creative Thinking of Contemporary Japanese Architects from the Angle of National Characters

Abstract:

In Asia, contemporary Japanese architecture owns bright national characters, and meanwhile is geared to international standards. As an embodiment of nationalism, national characters have a direct influence on the creative thinking of architecture. Japanese people owns the double character of enlargement and reduction, as well as opening and closure, and the insularity character of delicacy and love of nature, thus contemporary Japanese architects own the nature of combining the “big” and the “small” as well as opening and closure, and the architecture form, aspiring after the creative thinking of harmonious coexistence with the nature, is delicate and subtle.
