Nousaku has focused his attention on the myriad building materials used in developing cityscapes. He has meanwhile attracted attention himself for disassembling, repairing, and relocating the 40-year-old, tile-roofed Takaoka Guesthouse (2013), as well as for taking the urban commodity that is a pre-owned home, opening it up with numerous holes--hence the name Holes in the House: Urban Wild Ecology--and continuing to rebuild it in a life-giving layout as a mixed-use residence-cum-office (2017). With these works and more, Fuminori Nousaku strives to make architecture a new kind of ecosystem that incorporates an extensive range of design requirements on the topics of land and its history, materials and resources, lifestyles, and the housing industry and social system.
