Abstract

This paper investigates the spatial composition of the exterior space and the interior space in the contemporary houses designed by Japanese architects. In the analysis, the exterior space is articulated into two parts : the semi-enclosed space which is partly enclosed by architectural elements and the other open space. Through investigation of the relationships among these three spaces (the interior space, the semi-enclosed space, and the other open space) in 147 houses, 15 composition types are defined. The relationships among these types are also discussed.
