	Japanese architecture Summary
		Japan's architectural achievements, both secular and sacred, reflect the foreign and native influences that shaped Japanese culture as a whole.
		The Ohiroma of Nijo Castle (17th century) in Kyoto is one of the classic examples of the shoin, with its tokonoma (alcove), shoin window (overlooking a carefully landscaped garden), and clearly differentiated areas for the Tokugawa lords and their vassals.
		The best-known Japanese architect is Kenzo Tange, whose National Gymnasiums (1964) for the Tokyo Olympics emphasizing the contrast and blending of pillars and walls, and with sweeping roofs reminiscent of the tomo-e (an ancient whorl-shaped heraldic symbol) are dramatic statements of form and movement.

		As well as for the grandeur and harmony of the architecture, the temple is admired for its extensive bas-reliefs and for the numerous devatas adorning its walls.
		Architecturally, the elements characteristic of the style include: the ogival, redented towers shaped like lotus buds; half-galleries to broaden passageways; axial galleries connecting enclosures; and the cruciform terraces which appear along the main axis of the temple.
		Particularly the model of the temple and the architecture was that of the Cholas, especially after Raja Raja Chola and his son Rajendra Cholan.

	View from Phnom Penh: the formerly elegant Cambodian capital was one of the many victims of the country's civil wars. ...
		And, while belated, the rich architectural legacy that survived the wars is beginning to attract the attention it deserves, as well as considerable concern.
		The city's cathedral is lost for ever, but along the same quiet tree-lined street where it once stood are numerous handsome colonial edifices all hardly changed in 50 years, along with the railway station, the ochre bank and post office, not to mention the archives and a reinvigorated Bibliotheque (sans cochons).
		For me, however, Phnom Penh's real architectural legacy is not colonial but Modernist, fusing postwar French trends (and a celebratory use of concrete) with the indigenous motifs of Angkorian antiquity.
