Three Showa Housing Masterpieces
Thanks to all the people that attended the opening reception of the exhibition. We were lucky with the weather and enjoyed a nice evening at the galleria abitare.
This exhibition introduces three works representative of housing architecture during the Showa period (1926-1989). The Sonoda House by J.Yoshimura (1955), the Kurata House by I. Yoshida (1955) and the New Maekawa House (1974) by K. Maekawa.
Kurata House by Yoshida Isoya (1955) Photos by Saito Sadamu (2012)
After been inhabited for more than 40 years, these houses retain the spirit of the Showa period and evidence the evolution of housing architecture in Japan. Through the presentation of photos, models as well as lectures and guided visits to the houses, the event aims to discuss the issues pertaining the conservation of housing architecture in Japan.
