THE JAPANESE HOUSE SINCE 1945 is an essential, illustrated sourcebook exploring the evolution of the modern Japanese dwelling over eight decades that transformed the country.

Architect and author Naomi Pollock showcases 98 exceptional homes produced since the end of World War II and illuminates the social, technological, geographic, and historical factors behind these era-defining houses.

With a bounty of 544 compelling photographs and drawings, this remarkable book highlights key developments in form, organization, material, architectural expression, and family living over eight decades that transformed Japan. “Spotlight” segments examine the separate components of the Japanese house and “At Home” sections, with recollections by architects and their families, document the experiences of living in these unique houses.
