Tokyo Houses (Planet Architecture, Volume 4)

This CD-ROM features an intuitive, multi-referenced interface used to access the entire e-archive (electronic archive) of video interviews, photographs, writings, virtual reality panoramas, and drawings. The unique graphical interface takes full advantage of the interactive media and makes the self guided explorations both user friendly and enjoyable. This e-archive provides comprehensive documentation and virtual experiences unparalleled by any single medium. Over 80 photographs of interiors, exteriors, and details document these houses like never before. 28 virtual reality panoramas (allowing 360 degree panning) take you there "virtually." 102 minutes of video interviews with the architects allow new insights in understanding these highly unique and innovative architects and the houses they built. Naomi Pollock provides an 18 minute overview in a slide show format as well as introductions to each of the four houses. A comprehensive collection of drawing (plans, elevations, sections, and concept sketches), models, and computer renderings allow you to study and analyze each project.
