The Japanese House

Architecture and Life After 1945

INTRODUCTION:

This book presents 75 detached houses designed by more than 50 Japanese architects since 1945.

These are the architects' answers to the social problems of the time, as well as proposals for new lifestyles through small architecture. The book traces the evolution of Japanese people's thinking about housing. The book also includes several of the architects' own houses by the architects themselves, providing a glimpse into the true nature of the ideal home they sought.

This book is highly recommended because it contains remarkable architecture that is fundamental, innovative, and worthy of attention even when viewed by us today. All content is in Japanese and English.
