A Study on the Architectural Thought and Design Method of Louis H. Sullivan and Adaptive-reuse of Early Modern Buildings

1.对于第一个主题，为了重新审视沙利文的建筑理论和设计，我们从芝加哥、纽约等地的一些研究机构收集了许多珍贵的资料，如沙利文本人的一些手稿，以及从未发表过的建筑照片，并对这些资料进行了研究，随后发表了3篇同行评议的论文（日本建筑学会建筑规划杂志）和一篇论文。在本研究中，我们明确了苏利文的“移动的平衡”一词是连接他的泛神论自然观、有机建筑理论和特色设计方法的重要概念.在后一项研究中，我们研究了沙利文的代表作，礼堂大楼，温赖特大楼，和货车艾伦大楼的适应性再利用。例如，在货车艾伦大厦，我们通过与有关人士的访谈，以及在那里获得的施工图纸，清楚地了解了该项目的细节，包括该项目的过程。此外，为了研究沙利文同时代建筑师设计的适应性再利用建筑，我们研究了美国6个城市的实例。然后，我们发表了4篇论文（在日本建筑学会年会，2007年），并发表了“建筑转换在世界上”由鹿岛出版社。

1. As for the first topic, to reconsider Sullivan's architectural theory and design, we collected many precious materials, for example, some manuscripts written by Sullivan himself, and building photographs which was not published ever, from some institutes in Chicago, New York, etc. We studied those materials, and then, we published 3 peer-reviewed papers (in the Journal of Architectural Planning, Architectural institute of Japan),and a dissertation. In this study, we made clear that the Sullivan's word "Mobile Equilibrium" is quite important concept to connect his pantheistic view of nature, his theory of organic architecture, and his characteristic design method.2. In the latter study, we researched Sullivan's masterpieces, Auditorium Building, Wainwright Building, and Van Allen Building which were adaptive-reused. For example, in Van Allen Building, we made clear the details including the process of that project through the interview with some persons who were concerned the project, and working drawings we obtained there. And, in addition, to study adaptive-reused buildings designed by Sullivan's contemporaneous architects, we researched examples in 6 cities in the United States. And then, we presented the research results in 4 papers (in Annual Meeting of Architectural Institute of Japan, 2007), and published "Architectural Conversions in the World" from Kajima-publishing.
