ArchitectureWeek Description FOBA, a celebrated, decade-old architectural practice based in Kyoto, Japan looks beyond the aesthetic of minimalism, instead finding inspiration in the relationships between structure and site: undulating lines, overlapping cubes, and interpenetrating forms. This monograph features ten projects from the expressionistic to the austere, including five prototypes for standardized and affordable yet humane housing.
