Modern Japanese House
'A beautiful, revelatory book, opening up a world of Japanese architecture that has been little known in the West...Pollock conveys the ingenuity - the sheer variety of solutions - of architects facing some decidedly 'challenging' sites. Their designs are full of wit, surprise and a sense of grace and serenity...A great strength of this book is that each group of houses is prefaced by an introduction which sets them against a background of tradition and social change in Japan, followed by a detailed description of each design which shows exactly how it evolved.'
