Architecture across Japan — from Tadao Ando's concrete temples to the micro-houses of Tokyo, from Kengo Kuma's timber structures to Kazuyo Sejima's transparent volumes. A country where spatial compression becomes poetry and gardens dissolve the line between inside and out. A growing collection.
Architecture for a vertical condition. The slope is the brief, the climate is the second skin, and larch, stone, and shingle do most of the talking. Houses pressed into hillsides, cabins held above snowfall, conversions that keep the barn's geometry and lose its programme. Orientation negotiates with terrain and weather more than view. A growing collection.
