Japan House

A dense, double-volume compendium of homes by Japanese architects, this fascinating publication profiles more than 50 diverse residential projects by 29 architects and offices. Each example is presented through diverse, full-colour photographs and architectural drawings, plus technical data and an explanatory text. Brief biographies of the architects also accompany the projects, which represent a wide spectrum of approaches, contexts and solutions involving both the contemporary Japanese urban environment and its important socio-cultural aspects. Featured architects include Shuhei Endo, Eastern Design Office, Dai Nagasaka, Kazuya Morita, Kazuhiko Kishimoto and Alphaville.
