Kazuo Shinohara: 3 Houses (English and Japanese Edition)

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reader will discover a comprehensive selection of plans redrawn to commensurate scale from original working drawings, unpublished holograph sketches, and archival photographs.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.
