Katsura Imperial Villa
(redirected from Katsura Palace)

    Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Katsura Imperial Villa

Estate constructed in 1620–24 on the southwestern edge of Kyoto, Japan. It was an outstanding attempt to integrate the styles of the Heian period with the architectural innovations spurred by the development of the tea ceremony. Carefully planned meandering paths lead to and from the central structures and through gardens dotted with small pavilions and tea huts offering orchestrated views. The main buildings, set into a landscape created for them, include three attached structures in a typical shoin-zukuri style.

Le Corbusier's Villa Savoye remains an open book to me, as does Louis Kahn's Salk Institute, I also think a lot about the Katsura Palace in Kyoto and Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel in Florence.
