Websites to Spend Countless Hours On: 次世代に繋ぐ伝統建築 (先人の知恵を記憶する) — Christoph Labacher · Interaction Designer
The architectural composition of a traditional Japanese Noh theatre. The stage is typically constructed from hinoki (Japanese cypress). Originally, noh was played in open fields. When a theatre is recreated inside a building, it’s designed complete with details such as a roof, bridge with a handrail and a pine tree painted on the back wall. The complete noh stage is comprised of the hon-butai (main playing area), hashigakari (bridgeway), ato-za (seating section for musicians and stage attendants) and the jiutai-za (seating section for the chorus). The main playing area is 5.4m per side. At the back of the stage is the kagami-ita (back panel, usually displaying a painted pine tree). In the front of the stage is the kizahashi (decorative staircase). Coming off the left side of the stage is the hashigakari (bridgeway). At the end of the hashigakari is the agemaku (curtain) which marks the entrance to the backstage area. 📸: @joannakawecki

John Pawson - Wooden Chapel

A small path leads to the chapel’s entrance, located at the transitional point between woodland and open ground. The architecture is framed as the simplest of gestures. From certain perspectives its mass appears as a pile of logs stacked up to dry; from others the considered placement of the elements on a concrete plinth creates a more formal impression of a piece of sculpture emerging from the forest. The purposefully narrow entry maintains the sense of physical proximity encountered as one moves through the dense trees, adding visceral and visual theatre to the exhilarating experience of passing into an attenuated space over seven metres high and nearly nine metres long.

Vernacular design outside of architecture
I've been thinking about how this idea applies to design in fields outside of architecture. Architecture is unique in its geographic, climatic, and cultural contexts, since the "localism" aspect is particularly relevant. But there are probably some parallels that could be drawn to modern software design, pr... See more
