The home, an intimate commitment, resonates deep within our being as the expression of a place where we feel good, both protected from the outside world and immersed in a more personal world. It is through the sensitive dimension of living that the space created will be able to correspond to this quest for spirituality that affects the Western home today: it is no longer a question of choosing among the multitude of images constantly delivered by consumer society, but of constituting a unity, of making choices that will give the space its full meaning. The 20 houses presented in this book illustrate how the Japanese, on cramped urban plots, have been able to create rich and varied living spaces, between inside and outside, between intimacy and openness to the city, to offer places where the art of living meets the contemporary needs of experiencing a certain presence in the world. By offering a sensitive approach to these landscapes of living, these examples will allow the reader to experience for themselves how space is experienced in Japan and to draw inspiration from specific development solutions for very small areas.
