内容提要：

筱原一男（Kazuo Shinohara，1925-2006）是战后日本最伟大、最具影响力的建筑师之一，也是一位颇有建树的建筑教育家，开创了现代主义建筑形式“筱原学派”，影响了伊东丰雄、坂本一成、长谷川逸子等人。

筱原一男发掘出一种极致的美学，创造了纯粹的房屋，重新组合并丰富了人们对家庭生活、传统、结构、规模、自然和城市的理解。他的建筑中潜在的形式主义赋予其作品一种既简单又神奇，既有序又出人意料的诗意。毫无疑问，他为今天日本建筑的严谨与活力奠定了基础。

他将其自身的作品归纳为4种风格。第1风格是热衷于日本传统，并从中提取出“分割/连接”“正面性”手法的时期。第2风格：转向在无机立方体外壳中加入名为“龟裂的空间”的强烈的垂直性空间。第3风格：他提出了“裸形的事物”。第4风格：“激进的混沌”“现代·之后”“随机的噪音”。本书将他晚年创造的、不被重视的第四种风格的建筑作品，与其早期职业生涯中的代表性作品并置在一起展示，重申了筱原一男对房屋和城市的等效性的坚守。

书中收录了关于筱原一男的最新学术论文、客户与合作者的访谈，以及筱原的重要文本，还有之前从未发表过的档案图纸和他的私人旅行照片。作者从新的视角和历史框架审视作为建筑类型的战后日本小型房屋，通过集合筱原的全部建筑作品，将它们置于日本和全球更广泛的文化和社会背景中进行解读，并重新定义了他在建筑领域获得的成就。

Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) is one of the greatest and most influential architects of Japan's postwar generation. He created sublimely beautiful, purist houses that have reconfigured and enriched our understanding of domesticity, tradition, structure, scale, nature and the city. The underlying formalism in Shinohara’s architecture lends his work a poetic quality that fuses simplicity and surprise, the ordered and the unexpected. More than anyone else, he laid the foundations for the rigor and vitality of architecture in Japan today.

Shinohare himself divided his creative work into four styles. In placing his later, institutional scale works of his fourth style, which have been overlooked until now, alongside the iconic houses of his earlier career, this book establishes the architect’s insistence on the equivalation between the house and the city. New scholarly essays, interviews with clients and collaborators, and translations of Shinohara’s key texts are complemented by previously unpublished archival drawings and personal travel photographs by Shinohara. The volume reframes his architectural achievements in terms of his oeuvre as a whole and situates them in the broader cultural and social context in Japan and globally.
