Title:	JAPAN CULTURAL FORUM ARCHITECTURAL SYNTHESIS THROUGH TRANS-CULTURAL STRATEGIES
Author:	EASTMAN, CHRISTOPHER EDWARD
Description:	Japan has been influenced by a multitude of sources for the formation of its culture and architecture. Through this process of cultural synthesis there has been contradiction, both in Japanese culture, and in the perpetual gap between Japan and the outside world. Based in Manhattan and designed by a non-Japanese architect, the Japan Cultural Forum is symbolic of the contradictions inherent to Japanese culture. Despite this, the JCF may be designed in the diverse urban context of Manhattan using strategies found in great architecture of both East and West - realized with materials and methods sympathetic to Japanese aesthetics. Not intended to mimic the traditional forms of Japanese architecture, it is intended to display the strategies employed in Japanese and Western architecture of all epochs, such as the use of a module, a clear relationship between structure and enclosure, integration with nature, and a sense of sequence, ceremony, and procession.
