Abstract

Quirky, surprising and entertaining - with more than 400 houses, Jutaku is architecture at the speed of Japan. Frenetic. Pulsating. Disorienting. Japan's contemporary culture is constantly in flux. In stark contrast to the centuries old imperial architecture of Kyoto, recent Japanese architectural practices have ushered in an era of continuous experimentation. With 500 houses, one house per page, one image per house, 'Jutaku: Japanese houses' is a fast-paced, 'quick hit' shock to the system that shines a Harajuku-bright neon light on the sheer volume, variety and novelty of contemporary Japanese residential architecture. Featuring the work of many of Japan's most famous architects including Shigeru Ban, Sou Fujimoto, Toyo Ito, Kengo Kuma, Jun Igarishi, Shuhei Endo and dozens of up and coming and completely unknown young architects, 'Jutaku' is organized geographically taking readers on a bullet train journey across Japan's architectural landscape. Essential reading for architects, designers and fans of contemporary Japanese culture.

Abstract

Occasionally an architect emerges whose vision is so fresh that it causes us to reconsider the very nature of architecture. Sou Fujimoto is one of those architects. Guided by instinct and keen observation, he casts convention aside. Instead he blurs boundaries and routinely rethinks basic building blocks. Both comfortably familiar and curiously enigmatic, Fujimoto's dynamic work grabs our attention then lingers on in our minds. Born and bred in Hokkaido, Fujimoto received his undergraduate degree in architecture from Tokyo University before embarking on an uncharted, solo exploration that probed the possibilities of architecture. Unfettered by the ideas and practices of others, Fujimoto's work has clarity of thought and purity of execution seldom seen. Fujimoto garnered significant international attention for his popular 2013 Serpentine Pavilion in London (Fujimoto was the youngest architect to receive the highly-regarded commission). In 2012, he was part of the Japanese team that won a Golden Lion award for Best National Participation at the Venice Architecture Biennale for their design of alternative housing concepts for the homes that were destroyed by the tsunami.

Abstract

Le Japon est reconnu dans le monde entier pour sa créativité en matière d'architecture et d'aménagement intérieur. Maisons japonaises contemporaines dresse un panorama des maisons les plus novatrices construites récemment dans ce pays. Les vingt-cinq maisons présentées Ici ont été réalisées à la fois par des architectes de renom comme Shigeru Bon, Kazuyo Sejima, Jun Aoki, Hitoshi Abe et Shuhei Endo et par des concepteurs moins connus mais prometteurs comme Ryue Nishizawa ou Hitoshi Nakao. Les maisons étudiées sont réparties en cinq chapitres thématiques reflétant les problématiques actuelles de l'habitat japonais : le manque de place, notamment dans les villes ; le rapport entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur ; la réunion de différentes générations dans un même lieu ; la relation entre espace de vie et espace de travail ; et la résidence secondaire.
