] APP AN BUILDS
FOR QUAKES

Construction in Japan. because of
the frequency of extremely severe
earthquake shocks and their at.
tendant destruction of buildings.
especially in the rapidly growing
cities, is fast taking its place
among the sciences. The erection
of building which will come safely
through an earthquake test is not
a problem to be entrusted to an
amateur. Rather it is one which
has engaged the serious considera-
ton of the worlds foremost con.
struction engineers for several
years past
In the old days, when Japan was
still among the list of backward
nations, construction of every kind
was upon about the same plane.
The Japanese home was built not
overly substantial, along the lines
which custom had decreed for ages
and of materials that more than
otherwise were flimsy and com
bustible. The more substantial
and later on considerable concrete
construction developed. None re-
sisted earthquakes,
Today the best construction Is
along lines made popular first in
America since the advent of the
skyscraper. Skeleton steel con-
struction, with curtain walls of
clay products, hollow tile and brick
facings. are coming more and more
into favor. In the more recent
earthquakes this type of construc
ton has come through usually with
the least damage.
As a result the imperial govern
ment has adopted it for the new
parliament building. which when
completed will be the highest struc-
ture in Tokyo. and will be the
headquarters of the Japanese gov
eminent.
Home construction in Japan is
also gradually succumhing to Amer.
lean influences. America appropri-
ated the bungalow of India and
adapted Il first to the needs of the
pleasant climate Of southern Cali.
fornia. Later the idea spread all
over the country. Now the bunga-
low type of home is finding much
favor in Japan. adapted again to
the Japanese ideas. Japan. as
people, builds according to its
means. which naturally entails
wide variety of types. Bamboo.
lumber. tile and brick are favored
materials.
Japanese workmen do most
things backwards, viewed from the
American standpoint. Their carpen-
ters use a plane by drawing it
toward them, for instance. In
handling other tools they depart
radically from our methods. yet
they do remarkably good work
But In general. their average con.
structiOn is primitive despite their
Guicltness to pick up foreign ideas
and ways OF doing things.
