RENOVATION FOR SUCCESSION OF MODERN HOUSING ARCHITECTURE

― Design process of Shinjuku White House originally designed by Arata Isozaki ―

Abstract

The focus is on a design process for continuous succession of modern housing architecture. While many of the houses that have been recognized for their values as modern architecture are in danger of being demolished in recent years, there has not been enough discussion about how to pass on their values while continuing to use them. The aim of this research is to clarify some of the issues involved in passing on modern housing architecture through the renovation of Shinjuku White House originally designed by Arata Isozaki and the subsequent process of its operation.
