This first comprehensive English-language examination of the Dōjunkai Foundation (1924-2024) is a must-read for anyone interested in modern Japanese architecture. The Dōjunkai Apartments (1924-1934), the Foundation's best-known work, introduced apartment living to Japan in response to crucial historical and social challenges such as urban reconstruction after the devastating earthquake of 1923 and the emergence of new working and middle classes.
The book's texts, by prominent scholars and architects, as well as a series of original drawings and photographs from the period, bring the work of the Dōjunkai Foundation back to life 100 years after its founding. While the Dōjunkai Apartments have unfortunately been lost in the rapid changes and greedy redevelopment typical of Japanese metropolises, this book seeks to contribute to the preservation of their memory and their significance.

Marco Pompili, Ph.D. (1965), Architect, is a practicing professional and architectural historian. He has taught in universities in Japan and Australia and published monographs and articles on Japanese architecture including Dōjunkai Apartments Tokyo 1924-1934. Collective Housing in Japan and the Modern City (Editrice Librerie Dedalo, 2001).
