The Style Of Japanese Architecture

Traditional Japanese houses use bamboo as fence. Adopting this material to where bamboo is bountiful, we can simply make it as our wall cladding. We can keep all its lovely natural nodes intact and enhance its beauty by coating it with polyurethane or a natural varnish. Or, we can make use of bamboos as material for our chairs and tables, bamboo displays or decorations or just an ornamentation for cabinets, vanity, racks and many more uses. The gardens are generally collectively referred to colloquially as Jurong Gardens. The gardens are situated on two artificial islands and are found in the East of Jurong, Singapore. The gardens were designed in 1975 by Prof. Yuen-chen Yu, a renowned Taiwanese architect. The idea behind the Chinese Garden is based on the art of Chinese gardening, while the Japanese Garden is purposed more to evoke emotion. The gardens have marvelously combined a harmonious fusion of nature with the architectural pieces that can be found around the gardens.

Basically, all materials used in Japanese architecture are found in nature. Eventually, this can be called as 'Organic Architectural Character' which is a part of their tradition originating from long time ago. Part of this architectural character is the by keeping the natural state of the materials or by enhancing their natural state, instead. Using natural materials encompasses the main style of the Japanese architecture. A Japanese platform bed is a particular style of bed that is usually lower than the average bed, sitting closer to the ground. Like other platform beds, they don't need box springs because they have solid bases to support any type of mattress. A good, affordable solution, these beds add an elegant feel to any bedroom. One recognizable characteristic of these beds is its simplistic, uncomplicated style. It has a wrap-around design, keeping the mattress and bed frame at the same level for an exotic look. The style and is supposedly inspired by the Japanese architecture and the design of pagodas.

Designed with the intention of allowing a person of normal height to sit and rise without much effort, the bed is accessible from any side - unless it has a headboard. Although the design looks very basic, these Japanese beds made of solid wood are of high quality and come in various light and dark finishes to complement any modern bedroom. Buddhist Pagoda's in ancient Japan all shared similar characteristics. The wooden walls were thin and vertical.  The structures had multiple stories supported by columns made from cypress trees.  Thatched roofs were common as well as large doors and windows strategically placed for the best viewing of external gardens or other natural scenery. Although many famous castles and other well known historical buildings were destroyed by fire in Japan's history, there are many which are still standing today.
