描述
Now as before, Japanese architecture is very popular in Europe and the western world. This publication provides an overview of its many design concepts and cross-references. Using design examples and interviews, the book presents thirteen current positions.The publication focuses on young architects who take up extremely independent positions within Japanese architecture, as well as on Pritzker Prize winners Toyo Ito and Fumihiko Maki.
Six essays by European specialists on Japan provide supplementary insights into the aesthetics and space concepts of Japanese architecture, making cross-references to Japans architectural history, and explaining current lines of development. The book thus combines a self-reflective approach with an outsiders analytical view.
- Paints a picture of the diversity of contemporary Japanese architecture
- Combines self-reflective positions with an outsider’s analytical view
- Based on a successful series of events at University of Applied Sciences Cologne
