Finished

Artists

Takefumi Aida, Jun Aoki, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma, Kisho Kurokawa et al.
This exhibition is a spectacular attempt to introduce 75 houses by 56 groups of Japanese architects through more than 400 materials including models, plans, photographs and videos. It is structured thematically rather than chronologically to facilitate a deeper understanding of characteristics of Japanese houses. The show opens in Tokyo at last, after having traveled to Rome and London since the autumn of 2016.
