Japan-ness In Architecture

  • Japan-ness In Architecture

  • Attribution

    Arata Isozaki ; translated by Sabu Kohso ; edited by David B. Stewart ; foreword by Toshiko Mori

  • Publication Details

    Book, MIT Press, 2006

  • Description

    Japanese architect Arata Isozaki sees buildings not as dead objects but as events that encompass the social and historical context — not to be defined forever by their “everlasting materiality” but as texts to be interpreted and reread continually. In the opening essay, Isozaki analyzes the struggles of modern Japanese architects, including himself, to create something uniquely Japanese out of modernity.

  • Maekawa Kunio And The Emergence Of Japanese Modernist Architecture

  • Attribution

    Jonathan M. Reynolds

  • Publication Details

    Book, University of California Press, 2001

  • Links

  • Description

    Jonathan Reynolds illuminates Maekawa’s role as a bridge between prewar and postwar architecture in Japan, focusing particularly on how he influenced modernism’s ambivalence regarding “tradition” and contemporary practice and the importance of technology in modernist design and ideology. It will also attract readers interested in twentieth-century Japan, for in addition to highlighting Maekawa’s architectural career, Reynolds portrays the broader cultural context within which Maekawa and other Japanese architects and artists sought to be heard and recognized.
