Secession Architectural Society - Secession Architectural Society

Japanese: 分離派建築会 - ぶんりはけんちくかい

A pioneering group in the modern architecture movement in Japan. Founded in 1920 by six students from the Department of Architecture at the University of Tokyo, including Horiguchi Sutemi, the group held seven exhibitions by 1928. Although the name was derived from the Secession, there was no direct influence from it. They declared that they wanted to "separate themselves from the realm of past architecture," and, in opposition to the then-dominant tendency to view architecture from the perspective of science and technology, they asserted that "architecture is an art form."

日本の近代建築運動の先駆をなしたグループ。堀口捨己ら東大建築学科の学生６人によって1920年に結成され，1928年まで７回の展覧会を開催した。名称はゼツェッシオンにちなむが，直接的影響はない。〈過去建築圏より分離〉することを宣言し，当時支配的であった建築を科学技術の視点でとらえる工学的傾向に対して〈建築は一つの芸術である〉と主張した。
