Wohnkonzepte in Japan / Housing in Japan (Detail Special) (German Edition)

In the densely populated urban areas of Japan, small houses with unusual spatial concepts and surprising layout solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it's not only this sense of space, but also the sensory use of materials and a feel for aesthetics skilfully combined with traditional elements that have fascinated architects outside of Japan. The fact that most of the constructive solutions do not correspond to Central European standards is irrelevant: It's the innovative approaches that serve as a source of inspiration. This volume presents the latest developments in residential projects from recent years. In addition to lavish photospreads and layout depictions, a selection of detailed solutions are presented that can be adapted to western standards. - Inspiring typologies for detached homes and blocks of flats - Background behind Japanese lifestyle decor and architecture In the densely populated urban areas of Japan, small houses exhibiting unusual and surprising spatial solutions are emerging on narrow strips of land that would normally be considered unsuitable for home construction. Yet it's not only the clever use of space, but also the tactile use of materials, and a feel for contemporary aesthetics skillfully combined with traditional elements of construction, that have fascinated architects outside Japan. The fact that most of the constructive solutions do not correspond to Central European standards is irrelevant: It's the innovative approaches that serve as a source of inspiration. This book displays the latest developments in residential projects from recent years.

Aber nicht nur dieses Gespür für Raum, auch der sinnliche Umgang mit Materialien, das Gefühl für Ästhetik und die gekonnte Verbindung mit traditionellen Elementen fasziniert Architekten außerhalb Japans. Dass die meisten konstruktiven Lösungen dabei nicht den mitteleuropäischen Standards entsprechen, ist sekundär: Es sind die innovativen Ansätze, die als Inspirationsquelle dienen. Dieser Band stellt die aktuellsten Wohnprojekte aus den letzten Jahren vor: Neben großzügigen Bildstrecken und Grundrissdarstellungen werden zudem ausgewählte Detaillösungen vorgestellt, die für unsere Normen adaptierbar sind.
