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
Japan's enduring commitment to design innovation.
