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.

  • Construction as an experiment: innovative supporting structures in detail
  • Architecture of tranquillity: room concepts in concrete, stone and wood
  • Building on 12 m2: inspiring floor-plan solutions
  • Adventurous living space: houses made from glass, plywood and plastic
  • Aesthetics and construction – projects by Kengo Kuma, Shigeru Ban and Hiroshi Naito
