Shinohara previously collaborated on how his work was included in Shinkenchiku and JA, this issue combines this content into a complete works edition. From the "House in Kugayama" in 1954, to his posthumous and unbuilt work of the "House in Tateshina Project", these projects showcase his approach towards architecture. Since his passing in 2006, Shinohara has been awarded with the special commemorative Golden Lion from the Venice Biennale and a series of retrospective exhibitions were held in China and the United States.
