Cette thèse porte sur la question de l’identité de l’architecture contemporaine au Japon à travers l’esthétique traditionnelle, profondément ancrée dans l’ensemble de la culture ancienne de ce pays : un véritable cheminement passant à la fois par l’intellectuel, le spirituel et l’artistique. L’objet de cette recherche est donc d’analyser l’interrelation existante entre tradition et modernité ; d’établir une « filiation », une possible évolution et de comprendre aussi la transformation de l’architecture contemporaine et ses problématiques à travers les différents concepts, qui fondent l’ensemble de l’esthétique au Japon, entre temporalité et spatialité. Il est question d’apporter un éclairage sur les expressions de la tradition : une « nouvelle tradition », une japonéité, où la tradition devient la matrice de la modernité. La tradition est à comprendre alors comme un véritable catalyseur. L’objectif de cette thèse est de montrer que l’architecture japonaise a su résoudre la difficile adéquation de relier la tradition nationale et la modernité internationale. La tradition semble être aussi l’une des matrices du futur. En d’autres termes, il s’agit de comprendre les traditions culturelles japonaises comme de véritables leviers conceptuels pour la nouvelle génération d’architectes japonais. La tradition est un héritage du passé qu’il faut préserver pour garder une identité, et qui permet de donner un chemin et une perspective pour l’avenir. De la qualité du rapport avec la tradition dépend non seulement l’harmonie et la beauté du cadre de vie, mais aussi la richesse du message architectural à transmettre aux générations futures. / This thesis focuses on the question of the identity of contemporary Japanese architecture through Japanese traditions and aesthetics, deeply rooted from the cultural background of Japan : a real passage through both intellectual, spiritual and artistic fields. The purpose of this research is to analyze the interrelation existing between tradition and modernity ; to establish a filiation, or a lineage, a possible evolution, to understand the transformation of Japanese architecture through different concepts between space and time. It comes to shed light on the expression of tradition in Japanese architecture : a “new tradition”, a notion of japan-ness where tradition becomes the matrix of modernity. In other words, tradition could be understand as a true catalyst. The goal of this thesis is to show that Japanese architecture has resolved the difficult balance between National tradition and International modernity. The tradition seems to be also one of the matrix of the future. The tradition is not only architectural, but it includes spirituality, aesthetics, art, and the manner how culture is linking to space and time. In other words, it is important to understand the cultural Japanese tradition background as a true conceptual levers for the new generation of Japanese architects. The tradition is a legacy of the past which should be preserved to maintain an identity, which could give a path, and vision for future. The quality of the relationship with the tradition depends not only of the harmony and beauty of our living, but also from the wealthy architectural message transmitted to future generations.

Nosso interesse recai sobre a relação entre cinema e cidade, tomando como principal aporte teórico as ideias de Giuliana Bruno, em Atlas of Emotion ¿ Journeys in Art, Architecture, and Film (2007). Assim, debruçamo-nos sobre as jornadas singulares dos títulos selecionados, analisando como cada filme, ao tomar como ponto de partida o espaço real de Tóquio, atualiza um novo espaço fílmico. Evidenciando as marcas de enunciação destes filmes, também investigamos como o espectador é convocado a confrontar uma emoção geográfica. No início, refletimos sobre a ligação entre o cinema, a arquitetura e a viagem, e fazemos um breve histórico de títulos que se dedicaram a filmar Tóquio. Em seguida, são analisados os três filmes que compõem o corpus da pesquisa: Encontros e Desencontros (Lost in Translation, 2003), de Sofia Coppola, Babel (2006), de Alejandro González Iñarritu, e Enter the Void (2009), de Gaspar Noé / Abstract: This work proposes the analysis of spatial investments and processes of meaning in films made in Tokyo by non-Japanese directors, in the 2000s. Our interest is focused on the relationship between cinema and city, taking as main theoretical contribution the ideas of Giuliana Bruno in Atlas of Emotion - Journeys in Art, Architecture, and Film (2007). Thus, we address to the singular journeys of selected titles, analyzing how each film, by taking as starting point the real space of Tokyo, updates a new filmic space. Having as evidence the marks of enunciation of these films, we also investigate how the viewer is called upon to confront a geographic emotion. At first, we reflect on the link between cinema, architecture and travel, and do a brief historical review of titles that were dedicated to film Tokyo. Then, the three films that make up the corpus of the research are analyzed: Lost in Translation (2003), by Sofia Coppola, Babel (2006), by Alejandro González Iñarritu, and Enter the Void (2009), by Gaspar Noé / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestra em Artes Visuais

This study is concerned with describing the changing concepts of space utilization in Japanese house design and the cultural forces producing the changes. Sources of information include literature spanning approximately one hundred years, a Japanese student of interior design, and-the Japanese Trade Commission in Dallas, Texas. A description of concepts of space design that were very stable for centuries in the Japanese house. The changes in architecture following World War II, and a contemporary house design by a noted Japanese architect are related to concurrent religious, philosophical, and economic forces. The influence of western culture upon Japanese life-style and design solutions to space problems is either indicated or inferred.

A casa dos imigrantes japoneses é estudada nesta tese do ponto de vista qualitativo, sendo as construções analisadas não como objetos, mas focadas no processo que decorre das implicações culturais, sociais e técnicas. As moradias construídas em uma área de imigração ainda inexplorada como fronteira agrícola, situada na região do Vale do Ribeira ao sul do estado de São Paulo, surgiram com as famílias que deparavam com a mata virgem. A despeito da situação de pioneirismo e das dificuldades enfrentadas pelas famílias, formou-se um acervo de mais de 500 casas no auge da prosperidade, todas construídas com material local: a terra e a madeira. Partindo do contexto histórico em que se iniciaram a colonização da região e os condicionantes que possibilitaram a criação da colônia, o trabalho analisa os modos de construção de suas moradias e as vicissitudes que possibilitaram a realização desse conjunto arquitetônico. Uma arquitetura espontânea que representa uma categoria expressiva e variada sob os aspectos construtivo, tipológico e programático. Como construíram, quem eram os responsáveis, quais eram os saberes trazidos do oriente e quais eram os saberes locais? O que propiciou sua durabilidade por mais de um século? Respostas a estas questões são buscadas ao longo da pesquisa, a qual também verifica a mescla da técnica japonesa com a influência cabocla e quilombola e investiga os processos originais japoneses para cotejar com os exemplares construídos no Vale do Ribeira. O estudo põe em foco o Tsuchikabe, palavra que literalmente significa parede de terra e que é uma técnica correspondente à taipa de mão no Brasil. Os dados científicos e históricos de caracterização correspondentes serão cotejados para verificar em que medida os saberes orientais foram adotados, adequados e ajustados à realidade brasileira. A relevância da pesquisa está na apresentação dos processos singulares e plurais que ocorreram há um século atrás, na abertura de novas frentes de investigação sobre o tema e na sistematização de informações que podem contribuir tanto na manutenção futura dos patrimônios tombados, como subsidiar a construção de casas mais sustentáveis e duráveis tão demandadas na atualidade. / The Japanese immigrants houses will be studied on this thesis by the qualitative point of view, and the buildings won´t be analyzed as objects, but as processes that occur from cultural, social and technical contexts. The housing built in a yet unexplored area as agricultural frontier, located in Vale do Ribera, in the south of São Paulo State, began with families that faced rain forest. Despite the pioneerism and the inherent difficulties faced by de families, there was an amount of more than 500 houses during the height of prosperity, each of them built with local materials such as wood and earth. Beginning with the historical context when the colonization started, and studying the conditions that allowed the colony settlement, this assignment will analyze the way of building their houses, and the events that propitiate the construction of that spontaneous architectural set representing an expressive and varied category, under a constructive, typological and programmatic aspect. Who built, who was the responsible, what was the knowledge brought from East, and what was the knowledge from the local population? What allowed an over a century staying? The answers to those questions are sought alongside the research, which also analyzes Japanese techniques mixed with Caboclo and Quilombos influences, investigates the Japanese original process in order to compare with the samples found in Vale do Ribera. This study focuses on a technique called Tsuchikabe, that literally means mud wall, which is similar to the Brazilian technique called Taipa de mão (wattle and daub). The scientific and historic data with corresponding characteristics will be collated to measure how much the Eastern knowledge was used, suited and adjusted to the Brazilian reality. The research relevance is to present these singular and plural processes that happened a century ago, to start new work fronts about this theme, to dispose information that could help with the future maintenance of the listed buildings, as well as subsidize the building of more sustainable and durable houses that are so demanded nowadays.
