初期和算書における建築積算技術

抄録

Although architectural quantity survey techniques are always essential in order to plan and rationalize architectural construction activities, there are few historical analysis on the scientific universality of such techniques in Japan. The "Gushikenki" (written in the Edo Period) appears to be known as the only architectural reference book dealing with these techniques. Nevertheless, this book seems to be based on previous Japanese mathematics books that were already concerned with the matter. In this study we intend to examine the architectural quantity survey techniques contained such books, as a first stage for a future and move advanced study on the "Gushikenki" and its mathematical background.
