Combining creativity and tradition, the architect-designed houses built in Japan since 1945 are among the most unusual and fascinating in the world. Subject to strict legal and spatial constraints after the war, Japanese architects had no choice but to explore and experiment with extreme solutions to meet the demands of the Japanese way of living. The result is this unique, disconcerting, and inspiring architecture designed by numerous architects such as Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban, and Kengo Kuma, whose modern, if not futuristic, audacity is driven by a thousand-year-old culture.
In this gallery of around a hundred portraits of homes, however, it is not just a question of architecture. From the Sky House to the Staircase House, from the Silver Hut to the Rain/Sun House, eighty years of the history of a country that has so often been challenged to rebuild itself are also revealed.
