Dear friends, after a couple of quiet months, OfHouses is back.
We spent this time doing what we enjoy most: dusting off vintage magazines and long out-of-print monographs, researching and documenting old forgotten houses. It paid off. We now have around 150 newly documented houses waiting to be publishedâenough to keep us busy until the end of next year.
The long journey through Japanese Fields OfHouses will take a short break while we revisit and expand some of our older series. We begin next week by bringing 7 Houses from the '70s to a close with an issue dedicated to the architects introduced fifty years ago in the legendary Tendenzen â Neuere Architektur im Tessin exhibition. But we're not leaving Ticino just yet: a second issue follows, venturing beyond the decade to rediscover forgotten houses from the 1960s and the 1980s
After Ticino, we'll return to Pritzker's First Houses with an updated edition covering the earliest houses of the more recent laureates, from Riken Yamamoto to RCR Arquitectes. Then come episodes 11â14 of our Heroes series, dedicated to four authors we have long wanted to revisit: Atelier 5, Frank Gehry, Myron Goldfinger and Shin Takamatsu.
Takamatsu will also bring us back to Japan. Throughout 2027, OfHouses will once again be immersed in Japanese Fields OfHouses, with ten new issues exploring overlooked Japanese houses, followed by not one but two special issues dedicated to one of our greatest architectural heroes, Kazuo Shinohara.

P.S. Many of you have asked about our Japan book. It is still very much in production. It probably won't make it to print this year, but we are confident it will be published next year. Thank you, as always, for your patience, your encouragement and your support!
