The Mark of Beauty

Japanese Schoolhouse (2017x5)

Data di messa in onda: Mag 30, 2017

Schools create memories and look at how some of them do just that with leafy campuses, classrooms bathed in light, and the corridors with dark wood paneling. We look at the common features or "rules", as it were, for the layout of classrooms across Japan, and what famous architects, such as Frank Lloyd Wright and William Merrell Vories, had to say about school architecture. We visit some beautiful but solid school buildings designed after the 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake, as well as a new primary school built after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake.
