SH INOHARA HOUSE

Located on Nagoya’s suburban area, is a squared plan house built with an outstanding precision.The space inside tries to evoque a central universal space which is surrounded by other servingspaces. Absolutely every detail is designed and built by hand, including its structure created withjapanese craftsmans collaboration.

Nowadays, China is suffering the effects of an excesive building fever, which has created anarchitecture nothing related to its tradition and ancient culture. In the oher hand has become into alaboratory where european architects continue developing the same errors and experiments thatdid not work in Europe. Consider a new museum that it is going to give home to one of the mostimportant chinese arts; the calligraphy, it must be a new architecture emerging from its originaltradition.
