Product Description
Kengo Kuma, one of the most significant representatives of contemporary Japanese architecture, has developed a modern design language that skillfully combines the country's traditional building crafts with sophisticated technologies and materials. From his iconic Glass House (1995) to the Victoria & Albert Museum in Dundee (2018), this book is a comprehensive record of Kuma's architectural work, comprising thirty projects to date.
Beginning with a remarkable introductory essay by architectural historian and critic Kenneth Frampton on Kuma's anti-object architectural approach, this book frames Kuma's work within the context of postwar Japan's evolving architectural scene and influential figures, detailing the international acclaim his ideas and buildings have garnered. The book generally consists of projects presented around material themes that define the architect's activities, accompanied by detailed explanatory texts and drawings. Characterizing Kuma's buildings and revealing his elegant architectural vocabulary, this book offers a unique insight into the mind of one of the greatest architects of the 21st century.
