source title Kazuo Shinohara: Traversing the House and the City
info House in White encapsulates the rhetorical pursuit of abstraction, largeness and timelessness that dominated Shinohara’s polemics in the 1960s. Twice the size of Umbrella House (1961) and designed as a counterpoint to House of Earth (1966), the plan here is a 10-by-10-meter square, anchored in the center by a main post made of polished cedar, situated in splendid isolation and piercing through the pristine ceiling and floor. Shinohara especially noted the rarefied origins of this piece of lumber from Kyo.
