The keyword "land area" is extensively used in all three volumes, aiming to help readers fully understand how Japanese residential construction is influenced and constrained by site conditions, as well as how architects design and conceptualize based on the site. Additionally, from the selection of works to the layout design, the editors strive to reflect different characteristics in each volume. It can be said that this is a reference collection that helps readers understand the state of Japanese residential design. At the end of the book, several architects' reflections are included, where they introduce various aspects of residential design, revealing that architects are not just designing homes. The three volumes approach residential design from aspects such as structure, environment, and form, all of which are indispensable elements of architectural design.
