Publication The Umbrella House
Description
This publication explores Kazuo Shinohara’s Umbrella House, a modernist residential gem built in Tokyo in 1961, reflecting Japanese vernacular and religious architecture. It chronicles the house’s journey, featuring graphics that capture 1960s Japan, architectural plans, and images of its disassembly and reassembly at a new location.
Texts by Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), Shin-ichi Okuyama, and David B. Stewart provide an analysis of the Umbrella House within the context of Japanese architectural discourse from 1960 to today.
