北海道における洋風住宅の平面計画について(明治6年〜17年) : アメリカ・ニューイングランドから導入後の展開  [in Japanese] THE DESIGNING OF FLOOR PLANNING OF WESTERN STYLE HOUSES IN HOKKAIDO (1873-1884) : Evolution after introduction from New England in the U.S.A.  [in Japanese]

The purpose of this paper is to consider the designs of floor planning, of the North American-style (the 19th century) in Hokkaido; from 1873 to 1884. These styles were imported into Sapporo; through the employment by the Japanese national government, of American civil engineer (from New England). We researched and analyzed the process, which the Japanese artisans employed to design and construct the New England-style buildings, in Hokkaido. To summarize, New England-style houses (of Hokkaido), in the first-half of the Meiji era, had all the hallmarks of the original New England-styles of floor planning: the formation of the principal building and attached building, the rigid symmetry, the main axial entrance, and central corridor.
