The Japanese Building Process Illustrated
English translation Illustrated introduction to architectural production to understand construction
This book is an English translation of ``Illustrated Introduction to Architectural Production to Understand Construction'', which was published in 2017 and received great acclaim as an easy-to-understand textbook on architectural production. The illustrations, which are based on experience and understanding, are extremely persuasive and beautifully depict what Japan's postwar architectural production has achieved.
The purpose of the English translation is to disseminate ``Japanese architectural production'' to the world, and to enable construction management at overseas construction sites where people are trying to follow Japanese-style construction management despite cultural differences. There is. We will convey Japanese architectural technology and the fun and joy of manufacturing not only to young people overseas who aspire to become future engineers and currently working engineers from around the world, but also to overseas students and engineers in Japan.
Monozukuri
The Japanese Building Process Illustrated
There is nothing more Japanese than “monozukuri” which is roughly translated as “craftsmanship” but is a lot more than that. You cannot understand this fundamental cultural concept just in words — you have to see it, so the book introduces Japanese building construction from start to finish with over 800 evocative hand-drawn illustrations. The original Japanese language edition has been widely used as a guide on job sites and also for instruction in a range of educational institutions, including universities. We expect the English version to be even more popular.
The technical cannot be separated from the human. The book includes realistic vignettes of engineers and others in various activities. The situations are interesting and sometimes humorous: inside looks at the ways that the Japanese make a job more than work — rather, a creative vocation . We hope that, worldwide, young people just beginning their careers as engineers and also experienced engineers at the forefront of their profession will enjoy this book and find it informative.
