Japan-bound University prof
to study unique house design
The unique design of the Japanese folkhouse
makes it a worthwhile model for contemporary
housing, says a University architecture professor.
Guntis Plesums will do intensive research on
the structures this summer while in Japan on a
National Endowment tor the Arts Fellowship He
will research and document the structural and
spatial qualities of the Japanese folkhouse or
minka
Known only to a handful of specialists, the
minka design method retains the ancient forms of
Japanese architecture used in the 17th to 19th
centuries Its design is unique, allowing for adap
tations and changes in the inner structure of the
house without changing the main frame
' This concept supports current housing
theories which emphasize owner-controlled,
adaptable structures I plan to demonstrate how
this design method can serve as a model for
contemporary high-density housing,” Plesums
says
Plesums earned a $10,000 Individual Project
Fellowship which he’ll use to cover travel ex
penses and accommodations for his three-month
stay While setting up base at Fukui University,
Plesums will travel to remote areas of rural Japan
to conduct his research, he says
He plans to survey 30 varied and accessible
folkhouses, document them through photo
graphs and drawings, identify the permanent and
changeable features, and then show the adapta
tions that have occurred over time.
Plesums hopes the project will resuit in a
series of articles on the space-structuring
principles of the folkhouse as well as form the
initial chapters of a subsequent book on contem
porary housing strategies.
A native of Latvia, Plesums has taught at the
University since 1969
