Two Oblique Axes in the Basement of the Former Hyuga Villa

Open access0 citations

Abstract

Concise Paper This paper examines the spatial composition of the basement of the Former Hyuga Villa in Atami, focusing on two oblique axes and their relationship to the pre-existing reinforced-concrete structure. Through comparison of surviving drawings, field measurements, and the existing condition, it identifies a directional difference of approximately 18.9 degrees and considers how Bruno Taut transformed this structural constraint into an integrated spatial composition.
