One Minute Architecture: NA House - Sou Fujimoto
The NA House by Sou Fujimoto, in Tokyo is beautiful. It has been compared to Mies' Fansworth house.
I love glass houses, but I couldn't help but feeling that this is NOT A GLASS HOUSE. To me, conceptually at least it is not, not like Mies' Farnsworth, or Philip Johnson's Glass House.
The house has brought fame to the architect Fujimoto, and again it is really beautiful, very delicate with it's very thin steel frames and 21 different floors set at various heights. The concept of the stepped floors is beautiful, but I can't help thinking that it is not a glass house.
A glass house to me is that it combines the freedom from the context (providing shelter) while at the same time morphing into it's surrounding. A glass house keeps the outside out while at the same time it taking it in.
In the model, drawings and the pictures in books and magazines the house seem to wanting to do this, the reality however, looks quite different.
Time to explore some more glass houses in Tokyo, trying to see if there is one.
By the way the NA house is notoriously difficult to find. But a big thanks to my friend Alastair's map I finally managed to find it:

Komiyama Lecture | Clark College Vancouver WA
Dr. Komiyama is an internationally respected expert on sustainability who has helped shape environmental policy in Japan. He presented in Clark College's Gaiser Hall on October 28, 2015. His presentation explored Japan as a “problem-saddled developed country. Japan currently faces a series of grave issues: lack of natural resources, damage from environmental pollution, low birthrate, aging population, overcrowding of the cities, and a low food self-sufficiency rate. However, in the near future, the rest of the world will be confronted with the same problems that Japan now faces. In this sense Japan is taking on the world’s problems ahead of the others. In other words, Japan is not merely an advanced nation saddled with problems, but a nation saddled with problems in advance.
About Dr. Hiroshi Komiyama
Dr. Komiyama is a prominent academic, scientist, engineer, and leading authority in global sustainability. His major fields of research include environmental engineering, advanced materials science, and knowledge sharing. He is also an advisor to the Japanese Government on subjects ranging from education to aging.

He leads Japan and the world with his strong influence, extraordinary leadership and enthusiasm to achieve global sustainability.
