抄録

Josiah Conder was an English architect who first taught the orthodox European archiecture to Japanese as a foreign employee in Japanese Government, and he left all his works in Japan. The pupose of this study is to make the method of his design clear by his extant drawings. In this paper, as the first step, the dimensional system of planning was examined. Conclusions are as follows : 1) The dimension in the plans and the foundation plans etc Is based on "inside measurement", "outside measurement" and "center to center measurement" Besides, "inside measurement" dimension is used in many of his plans, while "center to center measurement" in most of his foundation plans. 2) We are able to infer the dimensional system of planning by examining each dimensions and the thickness of wall. The consequence was that all drawings were designed on the basis of "inside mesurement" with a few exceptions. 3) We find 13 works with matted room. Many of the matted room was designed in itself on the basis of "center to center" by 3.0 (shaku) of mesurement unit.
