If Japanese people could build as they did in the past all their houses would be way better. Instead, they started building homes like Americans do, raising ugly houses built with cheap materials, without even a decent map plan and without even thinking properly about small things like plugs locations. Please focus on building easy-to-live pretty houses instead of taking crazy design ideas from Japan. It’ll be more useful and successful.

Hi Gediminas, sounds like you maybe already know these exact books...but if not, you're up for a good read ;) Wabi Sabi for Artists, Designers, Poets, and Philosophers - Leonard Koren White - Kenya Hara The Book of Tea - Okakura Kakuzō I'm working with them for my master thesis in architecture right now and besides being very useful and inspirational they simply are a pleasure to read as well. Cheers :) ✌🏼

6:20 there must have been a lot more to it than that because scale and contrast would have been important factors, otherwise you’d have to allow glass skyscrapers too 😄 Surely they’re polished stainless steel, like Coop Himmelblau’s Art Museum in Shenzhen? I’ve bombarded your channel with comments now but it’s only because the vids are very compelling ❤

@geddan Ай бұрын

Of course scale comes into the equation. Hmm but thinking about it - even if heigh restrictions weren't applied - a high reflective structure observed from the ground mostly reflects the sky - which wouldn't work philosophically in this case. And no worries about the flood, appreciate you taking time to put your thoughts down!

@Dev1nci Ай бұрын

@@geddan Okay But what about Ma's 'Rebuilt WTC', it reflects only it's context but I'd argue that it has a scale issue (even though the height is in proportion to its context). And then there's his kindergarten which is unreflective but the scale is at eaves height with the historical buildings. I'm not trying to be difficult man, I just enjoy the discussion :)

@geddan Ай бұрын

@@Dev1nci Oh reflectivity of the facade is definitely not the only ingredient to a successful soup! Scale and proportion are definitely two more important aspects. But if the focus is on reflectivity - then it has to be seamless and with 0 additional elements that would break the illusion. Most of skyscrapers don't have them - there's still a glazing subdivision grid as well as a partial transparency that clearly defines the boundary of the form as a separate entity.

5:20 it’s quite complex topic, generally they need to be beautiful enough that no one WANTS to demolish them and flexible enough that no one NEEDS to demolish them. (Even if both of these points are true maintenance could become unjustifiably high because of evolving markets but we can’t predict that.) Another point to consider is that an over emphasis on starchitecture inspires imitation work that suffers from the weak points of good examples but doesn’t benefit from their strong points.

Despite his references, there is something about the building that just ‘feels’ Chinese in the best possible way. It seems to stem from the tradition that made the Chinese garden rather than the tradition that makes electronics etc.

This is very interesting topic, but one question for me was not answered - what type of visa/residency have you guys acquired?

@geddan Ай бұрын

We have not acquired any type of visa/residency. Every time we go to Japan, we're getting a regular tourist visa (max 90days - per - visit and max 180 days - per - year). It's possible to get a working holiday visa as well, that let's you do 180 days in one go. If we'll need/want to stay longer than 180 days/year in Japan , then we'll have to open up a company in Japan, hire at least one Japan citizen - the company would then hire us and through it we could get proper residency permits. It's a bit tricky with double-taxation and so on, but once we get to that chapter - for sure we'll be doing a KZbin video about it.

Great adventure! Totally surprised about the property prices there, as Japan appeared to me as an expensive country. Where I live, in Rotterdam NL, you would pay over 300.000 Euros for a home like this, this close to a main railway station, in a major city, in this state. No different in the UK, Belgium on Germany I reckon. Very interesting to watch, really unique content (though I started foĺlowing you for the Grasshopper videos)🙂

@geddan Ай бұрын

The preference for newly built housing, that follows most recent earthquake safety standards paired with vacant housing/depopulation crisis creates a lot of good buying opportunities in Japan. Also I should note that cost of living in Japan (outside of Tokyo) is much much lower than anywhere in western Europe.
