Japan
Captivating designs in contemporary Japanese architecture
Japan – constructing concepts as buildings
In the field of tension between tradition and modernity, the spectrum of Japanese architecture extends from the meditative spaces of a Tadao Ando to the formal and structural experiments of Kazuyo Sejima or Toyo Ito. This book compares and contrasts the most interesting projects and documents them in detail.
