Dear friends, this is the fifth episode of our multi-part series about Japanese residential architecture. The first five episodes will focus on monographic selections (Shigeru Ban, Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, Itsuko Hasegawa, and Hiroshi Hara), while the remaining 35 (!!!) episodes will explore some of the most unique Japanese old forgotten houses built in the last three decades of the twentieth century. This will be the most comprehensive investigation of Japanese single-family housing ever published in the Western media! In our forthcoming book “Japanese Fields | OfHouses” (scheduled for release in May ‘25), we will reveal the exact locations of all the 280 subsequent projects, plus more. Stay tuned; it’s going to be awesome!
