The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted teleworking and changes in family life, and the idea of home itself is also beginning to change. Our idea of home was formed on the basis of various approaches to housing from the postwar reconstruction period to the period of rapid economic growth in the early 1970s. Various “homes” were conceived in response to major changes in social conditions, including the concentration of population in cities, increasing demands for the ownership of single-family homes, the shift to nuclear families, people’s desire for modern and stylish living spaces, and so on. Based on these ideas, the design of “home” has undergone significant and diverse development since the late 1970s, and today it is a key field that underpins Japan’s architectural culture.
This exhibition organized by the National Archives of Modern Architecture (NAMA) will focus on some of the projects that laid the groundwork for these ideas of “home.” It will feature materials from NAMA’s collection that illustrate the ideas of home from the mid-war and post-war reconstruction period to the mid-1970s, aiming to bring back to life the exploration and development of housing in Japan in a vivid and easy-to-understand manner.
