"The Science of House Plans and Living That Won't Fail You with Money and Health" Kazuya Matsuo Price: ¥1800 Shinkenchiku-sha, 2022 - 140 pages "Kaso" (geomancy) and "Feng Shui" often originate from the long years of life experiences and wisdom of people in the past, and do not necessarily apply directly to modern times— From his many years of experience in designing eco-houses, the author clearly explains the design rules and ways of living derived from his experience, from the perspective of a designer. For those who are about to build a house, the book is divided into two chapters: "Building" and "Living," focusing not only on house construction (design) but also on how to live a fulfilling life and how to choose equipment. This is a heartfelt writing by Kazuya Matsuo. ・What kind of floor plan will make the house warm in winter and cool in summer? ・What should be read from the site to design the house? ・How do you find a place with good sunlight? ・What air conditioners and heaters should you choose? ・What are the appropriate temperature and humidity settings? ・If you buy a condominium, which room should you choose? ・How can you live healthily without increasing mold and dust mites? etc., the book focuses on "information you'll regret not knowing" based on data and experience in an age of information overload, covering what kind of house will allow you to live "healthy" without failing with "money." It is recommended not only for those considering building a house, but also for those who want to improve their thermal environment, professional architects, and students aspiring to become residential designers.
