Abstract
This paper investigates Momoyama hydraulic power station built on the middle reaches of the Kiso River in Uematsu-cho, Kiso-gun, Nagano Prefecture in Japan, in 1923 by relating to the feature of the building of the hydraulic power station and the architect, Shiro Sato. The hydraulic power station originally was a functional and industrial building which puts a priority on the efficiency of business economy, at the same time it was often required to present a beautiful appearance. The building of Momoyama hydraulic power station was founded on the crane girder structure covered with reinforced concrete(RC) walls. A Hat roof of RC slab was applied to the roof of the building. It was generally designed in Neo-Gothic style. More specifically, however, the wall surface was designed in church style and the upper part was like a castle in the middle ages. Therefore the total design was eclectic. The outer surfaces of the building were remained to be bare concrete as cast. Such a multiple building symbolizes the situation of Japanes architecture in the 1920s. 4 figs.
