Japan has an interesting variety of buildings that exhibit a wide variety of architectural forms from humble farm houses to grand imperial palaces. Early native designs were exposed to strong influences from the Asian mainland but imported styles were then adapted to suit local tastes, and recent history saw the introduction of Western architecture into Japan. David Nelson, co-head of design at Foster & Partners, said, “Traditional Japanese architecture is very humane, with the light subtly suffused through rice paper screens and the interiors seamlessly linked to the nature outside.”
Shigeru Ban was inspired by the traditional Japanese architecture, modernism and the environment around him. As a Japanese 
architect, he is particularly known for his innovative work with paper and cardboards making him one of the 21st century innovators in the field of architecture and design. Ban favours the Japanese traditional qualities in the house, in particular the concept of the “universal floor”, allowing continuity between all rooms in a house or building. The Naked house was completed in November 2000, located in Kawagoe, Japan. The total budget for the project was 
$200 000.
The house is located by the Shingashi river amid a cluster of greenhouses surrounded by rice paddies and fields that extend for kilometers in all directions. 
Throughout this project I studied the architecture of Shigeru Ban and other Architects with similar work along with basic construction in order to create detailed plans and sections of the Naked House.
