Résumé

This book collects the scientific proceedings presented during the “2024 The 4th International Civil Engineering and Architecture Conference” held in Seoul, South Korea, in March 2024 with the aim of showing the latest advancements in theoretical and applied research in the architecture, engineering, and construction sector (AEC). The book is organized into four main parts, namely sustainable urban planning and architecture; architectural and environmental design; built environment materials and construction technology; and civil engineering and construction management. The goal of the book is to provide readers with an overview of the ongoing transformation of the AEC industry presenting a thorough investigation of the emerging trends in the fields of green building design, construction, and operation.

Thomas Swierzinski (doctorant IPRAUS/AUSser) : Climate and Environment in the Development of Modern Japanese Housing—From Architects’ Initial Interest in Housing to Fujii Kōji

Résumé du chapitre : Fujii Kōji, considered the pioneer of modern Japanese housing, was the first Japanese architect to design houses based on a scientific study of climate. Conducted in the 1920s, his study is closely related to matters of taste and is part of a dual process: the pursuit of a Japanese dwelling suited to the Japanese climate and cultural tastes. Understanding Fujii Kōji’s place in this process, especially when compared to the first Japanese housing theorist, Yasuoka Katsuya, sheds light on the significance of climate in the development of modern Japanese housing. This paper explores the role of climate and the environment in the emergence of eclectic Western Japanese housing, the rise of Western-style housing, and Yasuoka’s quest for an ideal housing suitable for modern Japan. This analysis highlights Fujii’s innovative thinking and reveals its unique characteristics. While his architectural philosophy shares many similarities with Yasuoka’s, his scientific approach to climate as the foundation for architectural design was truly innovative.
