This book is a reprint of the book "Ten Houses Theory" by Japanese contemporary architect Kengo Kuma. Kengo Kuma used his keen sense of architecture to understand the needs of Japanese consumers for housing, and jokingly divided post-war Japanese housing into ten categories. Through these ten types of housing, he explored Japanese living culture and criticized Japanese housing for Western housing. imitation and worship.

In Kengo Kuma's eyes, the "single apartment style" residence that implies "travel and sex" is based on a single room in a business hotel, which successfully satisfies the imagination of young urban singles for an ideal residence; and is based on traditional European and American villas. The "board and lodging apartment style" satisfies countless housewives' romantic expectations for family life; as for the "coffee bar style" residence, it uses carefully selected high-end tables and chairs and thin and narrow space lighting to set off every individual. Lonely and eager to express themselves, urban white-collar workers satisfy their beautiful imagination of middle-class life...

The title of "Ten Houses" imitates "Treatise on Houses", which sanctifies residences, and the content pays homage to Marco Vitruvius's "Ten Books on Architecture". This book is not only an architectural book, but also explains the Japanese symbolic principles and symbolic meanings that value context through architecture - this is a Japanese cultural theory by a master architect.
