Minimization of space in the architecture of modern Japan
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: In recent years, tiny apartment buildings and tea houses, capsule hotels, and micro-gardens have become increasingly popular in Japan, which suggests a vivid tendency to reduce space. Japan is indeed one of the countries where the problem of high urban density and lack of free space has been acute for a long time. The space shrinking tendency in the future will only increase, this is due to such factors as urban overcrowding and extremely high land prices. Japanese architects showcase outstanding cases of micro-space development. It is certain that the effective organization of minimal space characterizes both the mentality of the Japanese and the peculiarities of the Japanese culture.
