日本传统建筑中砖的“缺失”及其原因

The Fact and Reasons of the Lack of Bricks in Traditional Japanese Buildings

本文着眼于日本传统建筑中从未出现过砖这一现象,通过考察日本古建筑中砖材的使用情况,并与日本人喜爱的木材对比,探究出日本传统建筑中对砖的摒弃是由于日本人以木构为代表的临时性、融通性、可变性的建构思维,与砖材所代表的永久性、分割性、恒定性的建构思维相冲突,是日本人的建构思维和审美观念从根本上影响了建筑材料的选择。

This article concentrates on the fact that there were no bricks in the traditional Japanese buildings.By analyzing the development of bricks in Japanese buildings and comparing the application of brick with wood,it reveals that wood represents temporary,inexplicit,and flexible which Japanese prefer,while brick represents permanent, separate,and constant.Basically,the conflicting tectonic thinking and aesthetic standards between wood and brick lead to the preference choice in building materials.
