Smaller Living Designs from Japan
SEPTEMBER 2, 2010 THURSDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
Japanese architects may have a jump on the rest of the world in cultivating what is sure to become a top virtue of the 21st century: doing more with less. A new design trend in Japan, kyosho jutaku, is building creative houses on teeny tiny parcels of land. Architect Azby Brown will take us on a tour of the cutting edge in ultra-small living. He has lived in Japan for years and has written about sustainable living during Japan's Edo period, way before anyone was talking about global warming.

Guest
  • Azby Brown, architect, author of Just Enough Japan
