Next spring the Barbican Centre will host the UK’s first major exhibition focusing on Japanese domestic architecture from the end of the Second World War to now.

The exhibition will explore some of the most exciting architectural projects in Japan over the last 70 years, many of which have never been exhibited in the UK previously. It will consider how designs of the single family house reflect shifts in the Japanese economy, urban landscape and family structure.

As well as architectural projects the exhibition will incorporate cinema, photography and art in order to cast new light on the role of the house in Japanese culture more widely.

The exhibition will run from 23 March – 25 June 2017. More details here.
