| Research Abstract |
It is intended in the study to clarify the regional characteristics of the Okinawan modern architecture in its development process through the investigation of various types of modern concrete building that were introduced after the war and has spread rapidly all over the islands in a short period.
Chapter 1 [Spread of concrete building and its planning method] explains the historical process of the formation of local concrete building design before 1972, when Okinawa reverted to Japan, accompanied by the introduction of the US modern building construction method that contributed much to the foundation of the present Okinawan building construction situation. It is shown in the process that the standardization and the simplification of planning was widely promoted and the planning method showed the successful adaptation of the US method to the local conditions.
Chapter 2 [Development of concrete housing] analyzes the development process of the housing design focused on the sectional details that explains clearly the quality of the houses and architects thoughts on design factors i.e.climatic condition, life style, building materials, building equipments etc. Through the half century development it is explained that the concrete housing has adapted to the climatic condition and the local living needs.
Chapter3 [Regionalism of public architecture] describes the regional expression of the Okinawan modern architecture that was aroused by the design competition of the Shuri museum and the Naha municipal hall, that became most influential among local architects in the early stage of the development. It is explained in the chapter that the former has a complicated design process in order to determine the final design argued among the architect, the local authority and the US military government at the time, and the latter won the competition with new concept for the modernism design in Okinawa.
