Tokyo Infill

James Masman / 2018

Housing
Japan

This is a survey of small houses, specifically what characteristics of a city produce small houses? It examines small houses in Tokyo and the qualities they return to the street in an attempt to better understand the presence of architecture in a city.

Case studies are presented through the lens of a particular facade condition, a building’s immediate relationship to the street, and city. Maps are provided to investigate connection with neighbours, street patterns and contrasting scales in the urban landscape.
