Qu'elle soit contemporaine ou traditionnelle, l'architecture japonaise est une source d'inspiration pour les architectes et designers à travers le monde.

De ses plus anciennes expressions mythologiques jusqu'à l'urbain diffus contemporain, cette histoire couvre plus de trois millénaires. Elle aboutit aujourd'hui à un paradoxe insoutenable : la quête de " la nature " (en termes de paysage) détruit son objet même : la nature (en termes d'écosystèmes et de biosphère). Associée à l'automobile, la maison individuelle est effectivement devenue le motif directeur d'un genre de vie dont l'empreinte écologique démesurée entraîne une surconsommation insoutenable à long terme des ressources de la nature.
