Japanese houses today have to contend with unique factors that condition
their design, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to ever-present
seismic threats. These challenges encourage their architects to explore
alternating ideas of stability and ephemerality in various ways,
resulting in spaces that are as fascinating as they are idiosyncratic.
Their formal innovation and attention to materials, technology and
measures to coax in light and air while maintaining domestic privacy
make them cutting-edge residences that suggest new ways of being at
home. Contemporary Japanese architecture has emerged as a substantial
force on the international scene ever since Kenzo Tange won the Pritzker
Prize in 1987. This overview of 50 recent houses powerfully
demonstrates Japans enduring commitment to design innovation.
