An overview of 50 recent houses whose daring forms respond to challenging constraints, demonstrating Japan's enduring commitment to design innovation.Although Japanese architects have to contend with very particular constraints, from tiny plots in crowded urban contexts to everpresent seismic threats, their innovative solutions to the creation of space and stable structures, combined with their close attention to materials, technology and natural light, have resulted in homes that are internationally admired.This overview of fifty recently built Japanese houses includes projects by three Pritzker Prizewinners Tadao Ando, Shigeru Ban and Kazuyo Sejima as well as by lesserknown emerging architects. Each house is clearly illustrated with colour photographs and plans, and is lucidly described by Philip Jodidio, who has travelled extensively around Japan and is deeply familiar with these projects and their creators. His book is a powerful demonstration of Japans enduring commitment to design innovation.
