Are The MUJI Houses Architecture?

MUJI is arguably the largest "Life Style Store" in Japan, where we can find theright answer to almost everything we need in life. To date, MUJI has developed four styles of residential houses, ranging from the single-family “Wood house”, “Window House”, “Vertical House”, to the latest development of a bungalow building scheme-- “Sun House”.

I think MUJI houses are architectures. MUJI's architecture, like a laid-back Nara tea, has nothing to do with elegance but a sense of life. Japanese architect Kengo Kuma once said: "Is there an architecture that does not pursue symbolic meaning, but also does not pursue visual needs?" MUJI's buildings may be one of the answers.

The Sun House "is not restricted by architecture or existing space, emphasizing the interaction of the family." It is a simple box building body, the appearance of the main selection of Japanese fir as the wall panel. The unique warm and simple texture of fir and the mottled traces of the past years, full of natural temperature and story. MUJI's art director, Kenya Hara, has adopted a minimalist design, removing unnecessary steps, replacing redundant beams and columns with slanted beams, and allowing the door to connect directly to the terrace. The overall lines and structure of the bungalow are more streamlined. The interior is also MUJI style. The log-toned furniture, which happens to echo the Japanese fir on the outermost floor of the bungalow building, is low-key and natural. Wooden furniture in the warm yellow light set off appears warmer, no luxury decoration, instead is a simple and simple, of course, with a warm and happiness.

I think architecture is designed for people. Every building should be designed based on people. MUJI's houses do just that. They are designed for families and cater to theinterests of different owners, creating human-centered architecture. MUJI advocates a minimalist aesthetic, like “Less is More”. Simple way of life, but also colorful. MUJI conveys a sense of values and a unique way of life. Its concept is no concept, they never do deliberate design!

Covered bridge -- Vernacular Architecture

A covered bridge is a wood truss bridge with a roof, deck, and siding, creating an almost complete shell on most covered Bridges. The purpose of the mulch is to protect the timber structural members from the weather. Due to the effects of rain and sun, a wooden bridge without a lid usually lasts only 20 years, but a covered bridge can last more than 100 years. Once common, only about one in 10 survived the 20th century. The relatively small number of Bridges that survive is due to the high cost of deliberate replacement, neglect, and repair ( Ross, 2012). This essay will compare and contrast the similarities and differences between Wenxing Bridge and the Kapellbrücke, as well as the vernacular architecture. It is important to discuss this question, due to which covered bridge is not just the meaning of the name, there is a lot of worth discussing behind it, by comparing the two Bridges, we can get a deep understanding into the covered wooden bridge, explore the vernacula

Japanese Modern Architect -- Waro Kishi

"I don't want my architecture to just have beautiful shapes, I want to have strange proportions and materials, to inspire others with unusual architectural elements ("Unsocial" Waro Kishi, 2012)." A few years ago, Japanese architect Waro Kishi became one of the world's most controversial designers, due to which he refused to put insulation in the walls of houses to keep them slim shapes. "It's not a bad thing when your work is questioned. It means that people are paying attention to your design and thinking about it ("Unsocial" Waro Kishi, 2012)." He replied in an interview. Waro Kishi is an architect who was born in Yokohama, Kanagawa Prefecture, in 1950. When he was studying in high school, people said that the computer era was coming. He didn't know what a computer was at that time, but he tried to get into that field. Therefore, he enrolled at Kyoto University as an electrical engineering major. In high school, he
