Abstract

Kazuo Shinohara: 3 Houses analyzes three major works, House in White (1966), House in Uehara (1976) and House in Yokohama (1984), by the late Kazuo Shinohara (1925-2006), one of the most important and influential Japanese architects of the twentieth century. The reader will discover a comprehensive selection of plans redrawn to commensurate scale from original working drawings, unpublished holograph sketches, and archival photographs. Contributions from Shinohara's teaching colleagues David B. Stewart and Shin-ichi Okuyama situate the three houses within Shinohara's oeuvre and afford new insight into the architect's distinctive working methods. A foreword by the well-known architect Ryue Nishizawa confirms Shinohara's continuing influence in the present. (from editor)

Abstract

Built in Tokyo in 1961, the Umbrella House is the smallest residential home created by Japanese architect and mathematician Kazuo Shinohara. More than 60 years later, a stroke of good fortune made it possible to save the Umbrella House from demolition and move it to a new location, where it now stands on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The wooden house’s post-and-beam construction references traditional Japanese domestic and temple architecture. Experts from Japan and Europe supervised the dismantling of the house in Tokyo and its reassembly in Weil am Rhein.This concise volume traces the long journey of the Umbrella House, in lavish illustrations including impressions from 1960s Japan, architectural designs and plans, and photographs documenting its dismantling and reassembly at its new location. Texts by Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), Shin-ichi Okuyama and David B. Stewart discuss the Umbrella House against the background of Japanese architectural discourse between 1960 and the present.Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) was one of the greatest and most influential architects of Japan’s postwar generation, forming what is now widely known as the Shinohara School alongside Toyo Ito, Kazunari Sakamoto and Itsuko Hasegawa. He was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan’s (AIJ) grand prize in 2005. In 2010 the Venice Biennale awarded a special commemorative Golden Lion in memory of Shinohara.
