made in japan
my friend and talented young architect liberdade came back from japan and posted photos of my favorite moriyama house!
it is designed by ryue nishizawa!
the house is a cluster of buildings where every room is a seperate building!
the idea was also that part of the building could be rent when not in use;
an idea i explored also on a undergraduate house studio [not to this level though!!!]
i think now [according to liberdade] 6 owners live in moriyama house.
in the past i had found an entry on moriyama house in gravestmor with photos [scanned?] from domus 888.
photo taken from here.
check more on liberdade's tour from the building of the century [which century i wonder] sendai mediatheque!

a!
I don't think it's such an original idea after all. Didn't MVRDV design something similar quite a long time ago? Only it wasn't built so it's not widely published like this. To tell the truth I don't appreciate Ruyes' standalone work as much
as Kazuyo's. I much prefer them working as a team on SANAA.
maroulitaaa: i was responding to your comment earlier today but blogger lost it!!!anyhow!
most of my japanese friends tell me that ruye is a genious,he is the brain of sanaa and sejima rally needs him... and its interesting to listen to that from japanese that respect age a lot.
the house is a sensitive issue.
this is an eccentric one.
i would love to live there for personal reasons.

which project of mvrdv you have in mind? now i have almost forgotten them!
I am afraid I didn't quite get the comment on the age factor. She's not that old, in her early 40s perhaps. Quite young for an architect, isn't it? :) I don't know whether the term genius is appropriate/fit in such a field as architecture. I personally find him to be concentrating too much on the form even if it's a simple one. With Kazuyo it is more about how the whole thing is...experienced. Anyway, that's just my very humble and subjective opinion.
That project by MVRDV is pretty old, I think they did that around the early 90s. It was a private house too, somewhere in Holland, not sure if it was built, I think not. To tell you the truth, I find myself liking MVRDV more and more these days. I mean their approach and the whole process they follow and how they present their work, not always the final result itself.
Hi, I am a friend of Zenovia from Japan, and I read your comment about SANAA/MVRDV. For your comment, first of all Nishizawa is not concentrating on the form at all, above all it's more about the program. The reason why he keeps such a simple cubic box in his works is that to do so he can clarify the other things, and also he made a comment about this issue, he does not wanna compete with the other architecture by its appearance.
And SANAA has been trying to deploy the consistant issue, that is, the lightness, transparency, thiness,etc.. Stadtheater thru Toledo museum. And I would say MYRDV is focusing to its form, rather than having the idea of the program. And she is already 50 years old. That what I felt thru my internship experience there.
have a nice day!
can a person still have an opinion of one's own or is it illegal yet? :)))
