Thinking about housing with an "Akihabara" sensibility - Osamu Ishiyama

“Thinking About Housing with an ‘Akihabara’ Sensibility” by Osamu Ishiyama

This book is highly recommended for its many valuable photos and diagrams, as well as its interesting writing. Although the cover design is a bit old-fashioned, the content, including the photos and diagrams, is excellent.

◆ Author: Osamu Ishiyama

Just as Akihabara exists for electrical appliances, Shinjuku Nishiguchi for cameras, and Ueno Ameyoko for miscellaneous goods, there should also be a true market for housing where free price competition takes place.
This book by architect Osamu Ishiyama overturns the "common sense" surrounding Japanese housing.
