As architect Fuminori Nousaku's first solo publication, Contemporary Architect's Concept Series 29 probes the young architect's mind for architectural methods for 1) residential and urban development that factors in ecosystems and the global environment, 2) off-grid homes powered by solar energy, 3) architecture and landscaping that restore soil health, 4) ecological design that plans for circulation of materials from production to disposal, and more. Nousaku has focused his attention on the myriad building materials used in developing cityscapes. He has meanwhile attracted attention himself for disassembling, repairing, and relocating the 40-year-old, tile-roofed Takaoka Guesthouse (2013), as well as for taking the urban commodity that is a pre-owned home, opening it up with numerous holes--hence the name Holes in the House: Urban Wild Ecology--and continuing to rebuild it in a life-giving layout as a mixed-use residence-cum-office (2017). With these works and more, Fuminori Nousaku strives to make architecture a new kind of ecosystem that incorporates an extensive range of design requirements on the topics of land and its history, materials and resources, lifestyles, and the housing industry and social system.

In this second volume, Atelier Bow-Wow shifts from studying the behavioural characteristics of the window typology to investigating their origins, history, and relationships. How humans experience encounters with each other and the spaces inside and outside buildings is key to deciphering how combinations of context and environmental factors lead to various functions and typologies in different regions. From Belgium, France, Germany, and Spain, to Vietnam, Hong Kong, China, and Japan, the quest spans a variety of buildings and streetscapes, encompassing both the contemporary and historic. The result is a remarkable collection of photographs and analyses.
