FROM DIVINE TO HUMANE 5

If the first "House in White" was the architect's creation, the restored one is the natural home. The significance of residential space is inextricably linked to human emotions. Design influences people's lives while also being affected by them. The new "House in White" is a timeless abstract place that resonates with the owner's life.

In other words, an architect never designs a structure but rather a lifestyle. After being imbued with the habits of its owner, the pillar becomes a bridge between people and space, also space and time. According to Fujimoto, "Shinohara is not attempting to build a home, but he is always considering how to compress and re-release the continuity that has been built in houses over thousands of years. This does not begin with the homes, but rather begins before the dwellings ". When discussing the history and ephemerality of architecture, I wonder whether we should also begin with a pillar similar to this one, which would serve as a visual anchor point for architectural memory.
