architecture in japan

Contemporary architecture in Japan pays homage to tradition but also offers a new twist on classic Japanese dwellings and interiors. On this page, you can admire some of the most creative examples of modern Japanese architecture, completed by renowned or recently established firms. Regardless of their function, these architectural projects give a nod to old Japanese living traditions, albeit in different ways. While varied in their design and purpose, these examples all showcase some of the core principles of Japanese design: efficiency, minimalism, precision, and a respect for nature.
