Moriyama House
July 15th, 2010

On the Internetworks (HERE) is a post i recently wrote about a visit to Moriyama House – a notable piece of Tokyo architecture built by Ryue Nishizawa before he formed SANAA with Kazuyo Sejima (who is the invited curator for this years Architectural Biennale in Venice). Above is the plan for Moriyama house, showing its modular, deconstructed style. The house feels like a regular Tokyo suburban home, reduced and abstracted to cubes, deconstructed into its constituent rooms and spread over a small park. But it was built a long time ago, the minimalism is getting a little dirty these days.
