Featuring dozens of high-quality photographs, schematic designs and
insightful commentary this Japanese architecture book is a
must-have for architects or collectors. The past five years are
widely considered to have been the most innovative period in
contemporary Japanese design history. The projects featured in New
Japan Architecture were completed during this extraordinarily
fertile time. Featuring breathtaking images of modern Japan, this
volume presents forty-eight extraordinary projects by forty-two of
the world's leading architects, including: Hitoshi Abe Ward Kishi
Tadao Ando Chiba Manabu Architects Toyo Ito Kengo Kuma Kazuyo
Sejima This architecture book features a wide range of buildings,
some exhibiting the ultimate ideal of the white Zen cube, while
others exemplify the search for the new wow factor in iconic
design. In many, cutting-edge modernity is counterbalanced by a
concern for sustainability--an issue that has motivated many
architects to rethink and reintroduce concepts drawn from
traditional Japanese architecture. Projects big and small, private
and public, residential and commercial are included. Insightful
text by two leading experts in the field of Japanese architecture
highlights the remarkable aspects of each building and places these
developments within the wider context of world architecture.
Offering an essential overview of current trends, New Japan
Architecture points the way to modern architecture's future.
