Sobre viajes y componentes: incursiones de Osamu Ishiyama en el ensamblaje de la vivienda

Sumario:In 1986, the Japanese architect Osamu Ishiyama published the book Warau Jūtaku (Laughing House), where he humorously aimed to demonstrate that the houses he designed could be built for less than the average price of a typical house at that time. A decade prior, following the advice of his teacher Kenji Kawai, he embarked on a series of trips to the United States, which eventually led to the production of a series of houses through his company Dam Dan. Ishiyama capitalized on the price difference in building materials by industrializing an assembly process through the importation of containers from North America. These experiences in the realm of assembly laid the foundation for what Ishiyama called Akihabara kankaku (Akihabara Sensibility). Inspired by the Akihabara market, the architect envisioned the home as a self-constructed artifact made from readily available components.
