Description & Specifications

Modern Japanese homes face unique factors that influence their design, from small plots in bustling urban environments to constant seismic threats. These challenges encourage their architects to explore alternating concepts of stability and stress interaction in various ways, leading to spaces that are as captivating as they are idiosyncratic. Their typical innovation and attention to materials, technology, and methods that allow light and air entry while maintaining privacy make them contemporary inhabitable works of art that suggest new ways of being at home. Since Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker Prize in 1987, contemporary Japanese architecture has emerged as a significant force on the international scene. This review of 50 recent homes powerfully demonstrates Japan's enduring commitment to design innovation.
