It was an honor to create a six-credit course for SU Abroad Japan with Professor Anne Munly of Syracuse University School of Architecture and travel to Japan in May and June of 2011, with eight students of Syracuse Architecture that included: Leslie Baz, Stephanie Billovits, Pedro Dorta, McNisky Jeantus, Matthew Kiwior, Francis McCloskey Lopez, Justin Ostrander and Taskina Tareen.

Our 2011 Spring Tour of Japan was even more poignant than the previous tour in 2009, as our Japanese hosts welcomed us in the wake of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake that had on numerous occassions made us re-consider our trip to Japan. As agreed upon with Syracuse University, our plans to visit Tokyo were curtailed, in favor of cities south of the capital. In the end, the 2011 SU Abroad Japan Tour which took place between May 17th – June 13th, 2011 included, Kyoto, Osaka, Naoshima Island, Taskina Island, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and Nagasaki.

I would like to acknowledge the support of Syracuse Architecture, in particular Dean Mark Robbins and Associate Dean Randall Korman, as well as, the incredible dedication of SU Abroad, in particular Tracy Zappola, Assistant Director of Summer Programs. It was a privledge, to travel for a second time to Japan with Professor Anne Munly and enjoy at the end of each day a Sapporo and a delicious sampling of the regional cuisine (that on more than one occassion included Western food, that only the Japanese, in true form, have truly mastered).

Contemporary design sensibilities continue to embrace notions of impermance and imperfection that are nested within the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi. Centered upon the notion of materiality and its increased importance within the theoretical underpinnings of contemporary architectural design, this course was highly invested in the experiential and phenomenal qualities of projects designed by such architects as Tadao Ando, SANAA, Waro Kishi and Hiroshi Hara.

The angled surface of the stone base (above) reciprocates the pagoda form of the sanmon. The stone base and the post and beam structure it supports both represent Imperial power in their largeness. In the Katsura Imperial Villa, stone bases matches the rough bark of the cypress pillars of the Sotokoshikake, giving prominence to organic forms. Flat faced stones coincide with the wooden screens of the Shoin.

From a distance, a grey coloration in materials extends to the beach from the terrace restaurant. Upon closer inspection, a combination of wood and concrete are used. Wood panelling in varying shades of brown distinguishses the two materials, and grey, weather worn wood imitates the wide concrete platform in response to the surrounding sea.

The gradation of light prepares the eye to view small inner gardens open to the sky. Tall windows that diffuse light from garden areas are found throughout the museum to produce beams of light. The visitors are lead through the underground art gallery like a boat in search of a lighthouse by the shore.

The skeleton of the building, its narrow staircase, is exposed, as the concrete walls carve a narrow void space that descends below the street level of this commerical space. Steel railing defines the edge between the ascending spaces and the carved, void space below. The striation from the railing continues on to the steel framed ceiling, the main light source.

The Nagasaki Peace Memorial Hall was designed by Akira Kuryu and constructed in 2001. The Memorial Hall consists of three basic elements: wood, translucent glass, and concrete. The way in which these materials are used is as follows: concrete is mainly used as a shell. It also makes up most of the interior of the Memorial Hall, however it becomes more aesthetic when it is contrasted against the wood finishes and the glass columns located in the inside.

There is also a play between these three elements for at some point they switch roles. This is because some parts of the concrete are clearly marked by the wood that was used to create the shape of it, thus leading it to resembles a much lighter material. Glass, on the other hand, is then used to create these massive glass columns that seem to hold up the entire project thus allowing glass to play as a much sturdier material.

When I later received my admission ticket, I was slightly confused as to where to go. The path of entry was made of the same pristine white concrete as the museum, but it seemed to be leading me away from it. A couple minutes expired and the path curved into a clearing where the calm silence was only broken by the swaying leaves and the seldom clicking of cameras. At the entry, nostalgia set in as I saw the patrons ahead removing their footwear. Recalling the protocol of James Turrell s “Open Field” at the Chichu Art Museum, I could already anticipate what lovely witchcraft awaited me inside.

Upon entering the grounds of Katsura, I was hard for me to differentiate it from a lot of the imperial dwelling/garden projects we had visited in Kyoto. The picturesque landscape was undeniably beautiful, but my unfamiliarity with the Japanese concept of landscape, made it easy to assume that the garden was found, then the villa and surrounding teahouses were constructed within it. As the hedges led me across the stepped bridge, I began to key in on how the whole complex was an orchestration of relationships and rituals. From the teahouses to the main house, the path that leads inside the space was very telling of Japanese ideals and use of materials. As approaching the Shokintei of Katsura, I begin to notice how nature didn t limit itself to the garden. Japanese cedar and pine didn t only exist in the garden, but made up the construction of the teahouse; customary to -DSDQHVH LQWHULRUV WDWDPL PDWV PDGH RI VWUDZ OLQH WKH ÁRRU

The ACROS building in Fukuoka integrates itself into the park on its site. It produces the image of a mountain covered in trees and plants; the surfaces that one comes into contact with resemble the strong rock of a real mountain.

In the Oval of Benesse House, Tadao Ando HPSOR\V WKH XVH RI UHÀQHG DQG XQUHÀQHG almost raw, materials to help blend the hotel building into the landscape. Ando does so to blur the line between where the Oval begins and where it ends, creating a feeling of greater tranquility for guests, as opposed ot the bustle of everyday life.

Ambiguous lines are drawn through the use of different materials, which help identify parts of the building, but do not separate it from it its site.

TASKINA TAREEN Dacca, Bangladesh Class of 2015 Syracuse Architecture

SHOJI The Screens of Japan An important feature in Japanese architecture, the shoji screen is a sliding outer partition consisting of a light timber lattice covered by delicate white translucent rice paper called Washi. Transcending from traditional temples to even the most westernized apartments, the use of the shoji screen is what differentiates Japanese architecture amongst world architecture. On a bright June day in Kyoto, , the semi-transparent paper softly diffuses light into the interior of the main temple of the Tenryu-Ji complex, creating soft shadows within the sacred space.

THE DISCRETE ILLUMINATION OF TADAO ANDO Japanese architect, Tadao Ando’s architecture is characterized by one sublime material – unfinished, flat grey concrete. Using this hard and heavy material, Ando manipulates light, wind and sounds into his buildings, relying on the simple reinforced concrete to control other elements within a building. This holds true in the way in which Ando integrates artificial lighting into his designs. By embedding the lighting fixtures into the concrete in various ways, Ando makes the presences of a light bulb as discrete as possible, disguising the concrete as the emitter of light in his buildings.

WEATHERING IN FUKUOKA HOUSING

NEXUS WORLD HOUSING STEVEH HOLL ARCHITECTS 1989-1991 FUKUOKA JAPAN 06.09.2011

As we walked along the sidewalk of the Nexus Housing Development on a rainy day in Fukuoka, the hinged housing blocks designed by Steven Holl architects certainly stood apart in my eyes from its neighbouring buildings. Alongside its clever interlocking design resembling a complex chinese box, the housing block has aged beautifully given the area s weather conditions. From rainwater washing away painted walls and oxidized copper surfaces to summer heat disintegrating concrete, every little crack and discoloration has added to a slow but fine weathering of this domestic space.
