Shunsuke Iwasaki is passionate about the environment and society. During his life, he has worked and studied in Ghana, the US, and back to Japan where he has been a part of many interesting projects over the years. Today we will focus on his philosophy and design of his home in Ibaraki which he calls "The Falling Sun". 

In this video, Shunsuke Iwasaki explains how every detail of the planning and design has meaning, all the materials were sourced as locally as possible, and all the building and work was done by himself and his wife when they were in their sixties. 

The house is a beautiful wooden structure, but it much more than that- there is symmetry, connection to natural elements, and as we look at his stunning photos, he will introduce ideas of how this home is in balance with the earth in its beautiful design.
