Portal for Japanese minimalist architecture — – - 日本の ミニマリスト アーキテクチャ [story] we started this project in spring of 2012 after identifying a gap in online architecture media that no serious anglophone website strictly devoted to Japanese minimalist architecture was out there. we concentrate on Japanese minimalist architecture projects built in Japan or architecture built elsewhere by Japan-based architectural offices and architects. focus is definitely on already built projects, but occasionally some great proposal can find its way to the site also. mooponto recently started publishing product+furniture designs created by Japanese designers. also, you can soon expect too see hi quality projects designed by non-Japanese architects built all over the world, that are true to Japanese minimalist spirit. projects presented here are mostly described by their respected authors themselves, with hi-res photographs and plans and as accurate as possible project data at the bottom of each post. [mission] our goal is to bring the amazing philosophy and design ideas behind Japanese minimalist architecture closer to wider audiences beside architects and designers, and by doing so to create the largest online project-based archives for Japanese architecture. 御苦労様。
