Based on the analysis of consistency between the plan of house planning one now lives in and the plan of house planning that is considered desirable by the dwellers, this paper intends to grasp how dwellers like to sit in “zashiki”. Results of analysis revealed dwellers yet seem to stick to keep “tokonoma”. As for the plan type of “zashiki”, there lies a noticeable dissociation (inconsistency) between dwelling plan and selection plan, vivid and increasing tendency in this respect is separation from living room as well as from “one room” to “two rooms”.

An investigation on the conversion from buildings built for another purpose into the rental housings exclusively for elderly is carried out.
a) Questionnaires to all converted and newly-built rental housings exclusively for the elderly revealed that converted cases had less toilets, bathrooms and kitchens in each dwelling house compared to newly-built cases.
b) Through hearing investigations on the converted cases, different conversion tendencies were observed. Conversions from appartments required barrier-free renovations, which included utility re-works such as moving toilets. Conversions from dormitories allowed ease of eliminating differences on floor levels but required enlargement of the dwelling house sizes. Conversions from hotels required extra expenses on renovating non-dwelling spaces such as banquet halls.

‘Space’ is one of the most varied and important general conceptions of architecture. This report is to illustrate how contemporary Japanese architects construct a conceptual framework in their design theories using original phrases including ‘space ’ for example ‘universal space’(by Mies van der Rohe), ‘served space/servant space’(L. I. Kahn), and so forth. Firstly, original phrases were extracted from articles and contents of each phrase were investigated and classified into four categories based on their context for architecture. Secondly, contents of each phrase were investigated through three forms of architectural thought - the specification of a correspondence of architectural parts and ideas;
concrete or
abstract, the systematization of their concept;
singler or
compound, and the opposition concept;
confrontation or
independence. Finally, the relationship between the content of context and three forms of architectural thought was investigated and analyzed totally.

Followings are characteristics of customers' behaviors towards clothes in shelves, displayed by “Face-out”, “Sleeve-out” and “Folded”. On “Face-out”, they tend to act same ways on shelf just after upper one. On “Sleeve-out” and “Folded”, they tend to act same way side by side (particularly, on “Folded” they see both sides (they don't tend to pick up or buy them)).

This study aims at analyzing the interrelationship between district characteristics and generational changes at micro-level by applying Generation Balance Index (GBI) to 1950's, 1960's and 1970's cohorts as offspring generations of the first generation who settled in the suburbs during the high economic growth period. The “Generation Balance Index (GBI)” is an index which shows the relationship between the parental and offspring cohorts. GBI can indicate generational changes when calculated using different time or cohort data.
The study clarifies that in the Tokyo metropolitan area the populations at micro-level are out of balance especially in such districts as detached-owned residential areas, commercial areas, or farming areas, and the imbalance is projected to continue until at least about 2020. This phenomenon is mainly led by the residential choice of the 1960's and 1970's cohorts most of whom were born in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and it will not be apparent at the macro-level and the community policies will have the more importance than ever.

1. The Law is intended for the individual architectural designers.
2. The qualification of building engineers excluding architectural designers shall be defined by the Law for Professional Engineers, not the Kenchikushi Law forArchitects & Building Engineers.
3. Would not dispute what organization architectural designers shall belong to.
4. Attempted to solve the defect of the Kenchikushi Law for Architects & Building Engineers by improving the overall law system for architects and building engineers.
Japanese architects at that time never accepted his proposal since they thought architects shall belong to dedicated architectural firms. However recently, it came to be known that by international standard, the qualification of architects shall belong to individuals, no matter what organization architects belong to. In that sense, his concept of proposal was a pioneer in Japan.

This paper is to make it clear the system of road and drainage's development of the English Settlement in Shanghai which was opened as trading port in 1842. The Foreigner developers borrowed lands from Chinese and developed their offices, mansions or multifamily houses before the official street built. The uncontrolled land-develop, however, had brought many urban problems. For example, the road-width couldn't meet the traffic, and the ponds of polluted water often found at the roadside because the drainage hadn't be provided in time. Additional, the Municipal Council of English Settlement which was the department of city planning was found just in 1854, so in the period of 1854-1866, its finance was not very healthy.
With those urban problems and the financial difficulties, how the Municipal Council planed the infrastructure? We found that the Directors of the Municipal Council often negotiated with the foreigner developers and asked them to take back their walls of houses, or to provide lands to construct road. As to get better living environment, those foreigners cooperated with the government, such as contributing lands for planning the roads or paid the money to maintain the drainages.
So the conclusion is that the Municipal Council was master of the English Settlement planning and the foreigner developers was its supporters. That is the character of the development of Shanghai English Settlement during the period of the 1854-1866.

The objective of this paper is to clarify methods for training plastering site supervisors and providing education regarding the building technology skills that are vital to work performance, on the basis of ascertaining the on-site work and job conditions faced by plastering site supervisors. A questionnaire survey was commissioned by the Japan Plasterers' Association (hereafter “JPA”). The survey was subcontracted to and conducted by the Building Production Laboratory (Mihara Laboratory: to which the author belongs) of the Institute of Technologists. The main content of the survey can be broadly categorized into the following six items:(1) Work conditions on building sites; (2) Employment conditions in the plastering industry; (3) Work details in the plastering industry in comparison with other industry categories; (4) Condition of plastering skills education in relation to orientation workshops for new workers as part of on-site education; (5) Work of plastering site supervisors in development stages, and methods for training plasterers; and (6) Methods for training plastering site supervisors at the JPA. Site surveys were conducted regarding points (1) to (6). Subsequently, plastering technical skills education methods were investigated. The tasks of plastering site supervisors are numerous and diverse. We confirmed that of these tasks, the role of instructor—for guiding apprentices, qualified workers, and workers with technical skills—is very important.
