On the building of Momoyama hydraulic power station on Kiso river. Kisogawa Momoyama suiryoku hatsudensho no kenchiku ni tsuite

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.
