A Guide to House Pilgrimage for Readers

A seven-year pilgrimage by a leading Japanese residential architect to discover masterpieces of 20th-century architecture by masters such as Tadao Ando, ​​Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, Luis Barragán, Pierre Charot, and Charles Eames.

Rather than being a flashy "large exhibition hall" called a house, these eight masterpieces of 20th-century housing embody the sweet and warm warmth of life.
Yoshifumi Nakamura, a leading Japanese residential architect, visited eight masterpieces of houses built by eight masters of mid-to-late 20th century architecture around the world, including Tadao Ando, ​​Philip Johnson, Charles Moore, Luis Barragán, Pierre Charoux, Charles and Ray Eames, Hanne Kjærholm, and Angelo Manzaroti, and wrote about the philosophies and stories they contained in those houses. His book, "A Pilgrimage to Home Again," has been published by Sai Publishing.
In particular, this book is a sequel to the consistently loved "Home, Pilgrimage," which was published in the first half of 2011. In addition to the nine houses introduced in the first part, this book introduces eight more houses.

Seven years of "Housing Pilgrimage": Tours of over 30 masterpiece homes, stories of 17 of them.
The author, who aspired to become an architect, and a home design expert at that, built his parents' house as his first project in his twenties. However, he realized that his parents' house was ultimately a failure due to the self-consciousness, competitive spirit, and trial and error of a young, novice architect.
Because of that, I started a “house pilgrimage” with a camera and a sketchbook, in search of masterpieces of 20th-century housing that had fascinated me since my college days, thinking that “architecture must be learned through experience.” I have been doing this for seven years now.
During this time, I visited over 30 houses built by masters of 20th-century architecture around the world, and selected 17 of them to introduce to readers through the series “House, Pilgrimage.”
The "Pilgrimage to Home" series, which reads like a travel diary, an architectural guidebook, or a notebook filled with sketches and photos drawn and taken by the author, is consistently loved as his representative work for its delicious and affectionate writing style, warm sensibility, and friendly commentary.


The first volume of the "Pilgrimage to Home" series, which introduces nine "small houses" built by Le Corbusier, Alvar Aalto, Mario Botta, Louis Kahn, Frank Lloyd Wright, and others, "Pilgrimage to Home"
This book's prequel, "House, Pilgrimage," contains stories of nine "small houses" built by eight masters, including the 60-pyeong "Mother's House" built by Le Corbusier for his elderly mother, the 13-pyeong one-room "Little Villa," which is surprisingly small for a master but which he was more proud of than any of his works and which accompanied Le Corbusier during his final moments of life, as well as Louis Kahn's "Esserik House," Frank Lloyd Wright's "Fallingwater," Mario Botta's "Ligornett's House" who designed the Gangnam Kyobo Tower and Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Korea, Philip Johnson's "Town House," Erik Gunnar Asplund's "Summer House," Gerrit Thomas Rietveld's "Schröder House," and Alvar Aalto's "Coetaro."


The second volume of the "Pilgrimage to Home" series, "Pilgrimage to Home Again," deals with a "house where the occupants, not the architect, are the protagonists" and "a house where everyday life is the protagonist," rather than a house where the building itself becomes the protagonist and one lives carefully while observing the "color of architecture."
This book is a sequel to “House, Pilgrimage,” and covers eight houses built by eight masters of mid-to-late 20th-century architecture, including Tadao Ando, ​​Luis Barragán, and Charles Moore.
This time, the scope expanded to include Mexico, Italy, and Denmark, and even the apartment buildings built by Charles Moore and his colleagues.
In particular, this book introduces houses that focus on being “living, breathing human houses” where the residents are the main characters and can peacefully enjoy their daily lives as residents, rather than “pavilion-style houses” where the architecture itself becomes the main character, strongly expressing the architect’s principles and aesthetic sense.
That is, it focuses on a house where the two concepts of “architectural perspective” and “living perspective” are not in conflict at all but are smoothly blended.
The houses introduced in this book are houses built so that each and every one of the characters standing on the “stage called home” can live comfortably, and so that their sweet and warm “body temperature of life” is fully captured.
The eight houses introduced in Volume 2, “Again, Pilgrimage to Home,” are as follows.

Eight houses built by eight architectural masters
-Tadao Ando / Sumiyoshi Townhouse / Japan
At the time of its completion, it was heavily criticized as the architect's tyranny, but it is a small concrete box-like house that has been cherished and nurtured like a treasure by its residents for 25 years without a single renovation.

-Charles Eames + Ray Eames / The Eames House / USA
“The house doesn’t need any elaborate architectural details.
“As long as it is well-made, it is enough to have the courage to build it.” A straight house made using common, ready-made building materials.


-Charles Moore and Associates / Sea Ranch / USA
A dream house, like a barn made of rough wood, as if mocking sophistication, perched heavily on the edge of a cold and desolate cliff, staring out at the sea as if resisting the harsh sea breeze.

-Pierre Chareau / Maison de Vers / France
The so-called “Glass House” is a house that was created by renovating the first and second floors of an old building, creating three floors through acrobatic construction, and then using glass lenses to bring in as much natural light as possible.

-Luis Barragán / House of Luis Barragán / Mexico
A home that tells us that home should be “a place where my lonely heart can live comfortably,” a place where we can directly face ourselves, and a place where childhood memories are engraved.

-Angelo Manzarotti + Bruno Morasti / Casa Grande / Italy
A house built in a cold region 1,500 meters above sea level, where fir trees grow thick, with walls made of locally mined stones and actively pursuing “prefabricated construction” using ready-made parts.


-Hanne Kjærholm + Paul Kjærholm / House of Kjærholm / Denmark
A house designed by a leading Danish female architect at the age of 29, built on a low terrace by the coast, where she has lived for 36 years, excluding all decorative elements and allowing human warmth to flow.

-Philip Johnson / Glass House / USA
Johnson's weekend home, which was completed after 27 revisions to the blueprints over three years.
A house where the master of 20th-century architecture lived for over half a century, commuting every weekend, and breathing his last breath in the bed of that house.

The author has included 200 on-site photos taken by the author himself, 80 hand-drawn sketches and floor plans, a scale model he created himself, and even a house pilgrimage guide map for readers.
This book contains over 200 photographs taken by the author while visiting the houses in person, various visual materials such as sketches of the various scenes and furniture in each house drawn with affection by the author himself, and floor plans drawn for easy understanding.
In particular, in the case of Pierrot Charo's Maison de Vers, which is rarely open to the general public, the author himself was so enthusiastic that he created a 1/20 scale model of the house's interior and took photos of it to introduce it to readers.
Additionally, at the end of the book, a guide to house pilgrimage is included for readers who wish to visit the masterpiece houses introduced in this book in person.
