A Study on the Differentiation of “Tatsuno Style” Architecture between China and Japan -- Taking Tokyo Railway Station and Shenyang Railway Station as Examples

Abstract

Modern architecture in China developed late, through the stage of wholesale westernization and discovery of traditional architectural styles, and embarked on the road of returning to its own culture after a bumpy ride. Japan, which has gone through a similar process in the development of modern architecture. Japan developed its own architectural style first and absorbed other cultures while exporting its own culture to the Asian countries to complete the practice and refinement of the architectural style. The Fengtian Station and the Tokyo Railway Station were built during the same period of the Tatsuno style, and the similarities and differences in building materials and design details can reflect that the Japanese designers did not copy the Tatsuno style, but rather, combined the design of the site to design according to local conditions. Conducting research through literature review and comparative analysis of case studies. Exploring the development trajectories of architecture in China and Japan to provide a reference for the development of Chinese architecture.
