Changes in Building Finish Material During 40 Years (1964–2004) by Seeing in the Building Materials Journal

Abstract

By seeing the item of material set as the object of information offer in Shokokusha company’s “Check list of interior and exterior finish material for designers”, changes of the building finish materials for 40 years (1964–2004) were analyzed from the high–growth era to present. Consequently three stages have been segmented, 1st term; 1964–1973 and 2nd term; 1974–1990, the 3rd term; 1991–2004. And, two categories called “a consistent basic material group”, and “the ready–made component and performance material group which changes by the time” have been extracted from the feature and tendency of each time. It continues to be thought that each of this “basic material + functional material” is asked for development and evolution, too.
