	Japanese architecture. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Evidence of prehistoric architecture in Japan has survived in the form of models of terra-cotta houses buried in tombs and by remains of pit houses of the Jomon, the neolithic people of Japan.
		These buildings illustrate the first epoch of Japanese architecture (6th–8th cent.), which was characterized by gravity, frankness of construction, and simple, vital compositions, sparsely ornamented.
		As in Greek and Chinese architecture, little use is made of diagonal members, and the framing is almost exclusively a system of uprights and horizontals.

		Three significant postwar developments had their roots in the prewar period: the ascendancy of Modernism in Northwest architecture, the influence of graduates from the University of Washington in the local architectural profession, and the transformation of Seattle's urban form in response to the automobile.

		The notion that architecture is the art of building was implied by Alberti in the first published treatise on the theory of architecture, De re aedificatoria (1485; Eng.
