Kazuo Shinohara: 3 Houses

Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) was one of the most significant and influential Japanese architects of the 20th century. Kazuo Shinohara: 3 Houses analyses three of his representative residential works: “House in White” (1966), “House in Uehara” (1976), and “House in Yokohama”(1984). Through redrawn floor plans at the same scale as the original designs, previously unpublished design sketches, and rare photographic records from the construction period, along with essays and interviews, this volume reveals the place of these three houses within Shinohara’s architectural career and offers a fresh perspective on his unique design methodology. The book went out of print shortly after its 2019 publication, attesting to its value.
