The Japanese Architecture

The Japanese architecture is very traditional and it is a remarkable aspect of Japanese culture. The architecture itself in Japan has been shaped by natural and artificially imposed factory. This aspect is also an aesthetic sense for Japan. The architecture of the Japanese buildings are very similar to those of the Chinese and therefore some people get confused if it is Japanese or Chinese architecture. In the country of Japan one problem is that of Earthquakes, volcanoes and typhoons, this , means  historic buildings took a thin shape and light enough to allow for quick exit and less injuries. If you see the windows they are also built into thin walls or small openings through walls straight leading to outside. The Japanese architecture is very impressive and amazing because it has an aesthetic value and the design is very interesting.

This is an example how the houses are in Japan.

If you see the Japanese architectural in gardens are very eye-catchy and the more you look, the more you discover the unique, natural design and beauty. So the architecture is very traditional, the building itself is more classic and the typical roofs are prestigious in the country today. For material, they use traditional fire resistant, natural wood and timber. For normal houses sometimes they use straw. The concrete material, they use stone and bricked earth. They also use ceramic roofing tiles and resistant paper.

How in Japan are the roof tops.

Today these architectural buildings are inspired from different countries. In Malta we had something similar but the popular garden in Malta is the Chinese garden. We had some designs of buildings but not a lot. In Malta we had more interior design instead of exterior. Here we had also something similar like ceramic roofing tiles but not exactly the same.

The Japanese were influenced from the Chinese building and this building 

is in Malta at the Chinese garden in St,Lucija
