Uzo Nishiyama Memorial Library was established on November 1997 for promotion of studies and researches in the fields related to architecture, housing policy, housing planning and city planning and to preserve huge number of books and valuable materials collected by Dr.Nishiyama who had led the academic society of architecture and comprehensive urban studies in Japan. It is approved as a Non-profit Organization by Governor of Kyoto Prefecture. Dr. Nishiyama had worked as a Professor of Kyoto University in Japan for more than a quarter of a century and produced many distinguished researchers in his fields. This library possesses various materials not only about architecture, housing planning and city planning but also social sciences such as community development and human settlement. Individual records such as sketch books, illustrations and diaries as well are in safekeeping by the secretariats. Reports and field notes at various investigations actually done by Dr. Nishiyama and his students are also thought to be valuable for studies on history of modern planning. About books and reports, we are expanding it by donation from researchers following Dr. Nishiyama furthermore. In this decade, we annually keep implementing a joint summer school with many universities not only from Japan but also foreign countries. Materials can be opened for members of the library, but please ask the details of use in addition to above to the library secretariat because some materials are closed during rearranging work for the time being. It is our pleasure for you to visit our web-site and search materials by some key words, though it may be available only in Japanese.
