The global changes taking place in the architectural world
are crystallizing right now in Japan, with the past five years being considered
one of the most innovative periods in current Japanese design history. Observed
by architects and designers from around the world, these changes are
illustrated and articulated in New Japan Architecture.
By documenting 48
important projects by 42 established and avant-garde architects, this book
takes the reader through a journey of current trends in contemporary Japanese
architecture and predicts future directions. While some buildings strive for
the ultimate Zen white cube, others exemplify the search for the 'Wow' factor.
Cutting edge modernity in some buildings is countered by a concern for
sustainability in others. The selection of buildings in New Japan Architecture
includes projects that are big and small, private and public, residential and
commercial. The informative writings complement beautiful photographs that
highlight the remarkable aspects of each building. A must-have book for those
interested in architecture and Japan.
