N2  - Author of The Japanese House, Material Culture in the Modern Home. The book is the first to trace the history of the Japanese public housing program balancing on the rarely explored edge between architecture and ethnography. In the 1960s, when Japan's postwar economy boomed, architects and urban planners inspired by Western modernism and Soviet mass-housing created danchi clusters of uniform multi-story apartment buildings with standardized interiors, designed to shape new modernized lifestyles for populations turned into refugees by the war. Over time, as Japan's society aged and the economy began to stagnate, these structures have become a popular backdrop for contemporary horror movies and a burden for the government. In this closely researched monograph, Tatiana Knoroz sheds unexpected light on the fate of danchis nation-transforming interiors, and proposes a multidisciplinary research method for their ongoing regeneration, which will be of interest to architects, historians and anthropologists. Tatiana Knoroz is a scholar with a special interest in Japanese housing, anthropology of lived space and built environment.
