The Simplicity, Spirituality and Comfort of Japanese Architectural Design

Concept, photos, videos, examples, construction



This movie was filmed during my Master Thesis research trip in Japan which I did in the summer of 2015. During this trip I visited several Japanese masterpieces either traditional and contemporary. I also interviewed Sou Fujimoto and Kengo Kuma in their offices who I'd like to thank for the availability and kindness during the meetings. Thank you also to the lovely Luisa Carvalho​ who helped me editing the video! You can read the extended abstract of my theses here: https://www.academia.edu/19782879/The...

  1. The Japanese believe what they called 'Shintoism' meaning anything or object you can call becomes your god. It's been said that there are well over a million pagan gods they serve related to the life of the Japanese. Now,that doesn't sound any simple to me at all. They worship pagan idols just like any other countries in the world. As far as the Japanese concept,work ethics,design,engineering, culture and civilization goes,they study and analyze alot. Which makes anything that are of the Japanese excel or outperform over anything non japanese.
    I hope Japan can contribute to the peace of the world with all the wealth that can be made thru their dominating economic growth all these years. Not gearing up towards another war.
