House with Ma

This house was built in line with typical Japanese architecture. It features a triangular roof, paper windows, sliding doors and clay walls. It is built in France as part of a one-year-long lesson. Ma, part of the title, is a Japanese word for void or blank, an important concept for understanding Japanese aesthetics.
