Abstract

The study examines the growing influence of wabi-sabi style architecture in recent years, as it emerges as a spatial aesthetic philosophy. Firstly, it examines the process of how the wabi-sabi style is created, analyses its beginnings, and traces the development of modern architectural forms. Building upon this foundation, it primarily investigates the widespread appeal of wabi-sabi style building in Europe, North America, and Japan. Ultimately, it succinctly outlines the artistic importance of the evolution of this architectural style in the present day.
