Abstract

Hitoshi Abe is widel considered to be one of the most interesting among the new generation of emerging Japanese architects. After graduating from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, he worked in the Los Angeles office of Coop Himmelb(l)au before obtaining his PhD from Tohoku University and setting up his own practice, Atelier Hitoshi Abe, in Sendai, Japan. Since the practice was established in 1992, Abe has won a wide variety of commissions across the country. He has also taught at several architecture schools, including the Tohoku Institute of Technology, the University of California Berkeley, and the University of California Los Angeles, where he is currently Chair of the Department of Architecture and Urban Design. This is the first monograph on Hitoshi Abe to be published in English. It features 26 projects realised in the last 15 years, covering a broad range of building types. Projects include Miyagi Stadium, Reihoku Community Hall, Kanno Museum, Yomiuri Media Miyagi Guest House and the F-town Building. Written by Naomi Pollock, an authority on Japanese design and architecture, this book is an essential reference work on this promising young architect.

Abstract

Occasionally an architect emerges whose vision is so fresh that it causes us to reconsider the very nature of architecture. Sou Fujimoto is one of those architects. Guided by instinct and keen observation, he casts convention aside. Instead he blurs boundaries and routinely rethinks basic building blocks. Both comfortably familiar and curiously enigmatic, Fujimoto's dynamic work grabs our attention then lingers on in our minds. Born and bred in Hokkaido, Fujimoto received his undergraduate degree in architecture from Tokyo University before embarking on an uncharted, solo exploration that probed the possibilities of architecture. Unfettered by the ideas and practices of others, Fujimoto's work has clarity of thought and purity of execution seldom seen. Fujimoto garnered significant international attention for his popular 2013 Serpentine Pavilion in London (Fujimoto was the youngest architect to receive the highly-regarded commission). In 2012, he was part of the Japanese team that won a Golden Lion award for Best National Participation at the Venice Architecture Biennale for their design of alternative housing concepts for the homes that were destroyed by the tsunami.

Abstract

For the Japanese, the concept of design is not limited to functionality or materiality it is deeply connected with ancient culture and rituals. In this sense, a chair is much more than what you sit on, a cup more than what you drink from: these objects are to be reflected upon, to be touched and cherished. As mass manufacture became widespread in the post-war period, fascinating cross-cultural exchanges began to take place between Japan and the West. And in recent years, a new generation of designers has taken Japanese creativity into entirely new territory, reconceptualizing the very meaning of design. Showcasing over 80 designers, hundreds of objects, and contributions from both Japanese and Western designers inspired by Japan, this volume will remain the definitive work on the subject for many years to come.

Abstract

Le Japon est reconnu dans le monde entier pour sa créativité en matière d'architecture et d'aménagement intérieur. Maisons japonaises contemporaines dresse un panorama des maisons les plus novatrices construites récemment dans ce pays. Les vingt-cinq maisons présentées Ici ont été réalisées à la fois par des architectes de renom comme Shigeru Bon, Kazuyo Sejima, Jun Aoki, Hitoshi Abe et Shuhei Endo et par des concepteurs moins connus mais prometteurs comme Ryue Nishizawa ou Hitoshi Nakao. Les maisons étudiées sont réparties en cinq chapitres thématiques reflétant les problématiques actuelles de l'habitat japonais : le manque de place, notamment dans les villes ; le rapport entre l'intérieur et l'extérieur ; la réunion de différentes générations dans un même lieu ; la relation entre espace de vie et espace de travail ; et la résidence secondaire.

Abstract

Imagine a terraced house whose courtyard separates the kitchen from the bedroom. Or a tiny, triangular tower of rooms stacked one above another. Quirky, experimental and utterly fascinating, the houses produced in Japan since the end of the Second World War are among the most exceptional in the world. The Japanese House Since 1945 is a cohesive chronology of the most compelling architect-designed Japanese homes, showing developments in form, material, architectural expression and family living over almost eight decades.

Abstract

Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire. Dans cette galerie d’une centaine de portraits d’habitations, il n’est toutefois pas seulement question d’architecture. De maison Ciel en maison Escalier, de Hutte d’argent en maison Pluie/Soleil, se donnent également à lire quatre-vingts ans de l’histoire d’un pays qui, tant de fois, fut mis au défi de se reconstruire.

Abstract

Un panorama des designers, créateurs, artisans et entreprises qui ont façonné le design moderne. Pour les Japonais, le concept de design ne se limite pas aux seuls aspects fonctionnels ou matériels : il plonge ses racines dans des rituels et des pratiques cultures anciennes. Les objets sont le fruit d'une réflexion. La rencontre des traditions artisanales et des innovations technologiques donne naissance à des objets à la fois utiles et d'une beauté intemporelle, qui encouragent à leur tour l'invention de nouvelles formes et de nouvelles matières. Au-delà des grandes icônes du design japonais - la bouteille de sauce soja Kikkoman, le tabouret papillon de Yanagi, le Walkman Sony - les produits et les objets nés au Japon au cours des soixante-dix dernières années ravissent l'œil et forcent l'admiration. En présentant plus de 80 designers et des centaines d'objets, il restera pour longtemps l'ouvrage le plus complet sur le sujet.

Abstract

Thirty years after the original Japanese edition by Fumihiko Maki and a team from Maki and Associates, an English-language version of this book is finally available. The original was based on a commissioned study on The Desirable Living Environment and examined Japanese urban spaces in the context of Tokyos rapid change and the citys distinctive aesthetic consciousness. In particular, the concern for surface layers, micro-topographies, and small spaces in the metropolis received special focus. With the ever-growing and new global metropolises emerging today, fundamentally different attitudes toward public domains are revealed. It is clear that old ideas no longer apply.
