    New Japan Architecture: Recent Works by the World’s Leading Architects

    Por Deanna MacDonald

    Sobre

    The past five years are widely consider 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.
