Abstract

Written by Thomas Daniell, with a foreword byThomas Weaver and an afterword by Peter Cook,An Anatomy of Influence contains a wealth of textsand images that together elucidate the theory andpractice of 12 leading Japanese architects. Ratherthan the usual array of exquisite yet autonomousbuildings, this book focuses on the hithertounexplored lives of their architects, and the febrileintellectual, social and political environment in whichthey worked. The period covered spans from thepostwar decades up to the present day, but theemphasis is on the radical transformation of Japan’sarchitectural culture that occurred in the 1960s and1970s: from envisioning rigorously systematisedurban plans to creating introverted private houses,from the imitation of western modernism to the studyof non-western vernaculars, from the ruthlessdemolition of historical buildings to the documentationof forgotten objects, from rigid authorial control toflexible user participation, from industrialisedprefabrication to self-build experimentation, from aseemingly homogenous society to an enthusiasticcelebration of personal differences. The cumulativeresult is not only a fascinating perspective on modernJapanese architecture, but a profound recasting ofour understanding of the modern Japanese architect.

Abstract

Shaking the Foundations reveals the personalities and passions hidden behind the cool, abstract exterior of the Japanese design scene in the form of a collection of interviews. Renowned architects such as Tadao Ando and Kisho Kurokawa speak out on issues ranging from the rebirth of Japanese design after World War II to progressive technologies, while newcomers disclose the trials and tribulations of "making it" in today's highly competitive commissions market. These frank, controversial, and at times humorous exchanges provide an informative overview of a lively and multifaceted professional discourse. All the architects interviewed show a special interest in creating a particularly Japanese architecture for the coming century. If any one view on this topic identifies Japanese architecture as a distinct movement, it is the conscious decision to contradict Western architecture, to swim against the tide of European and American cultural imperialism.This radical position reflects the freedom Japanese architecture has attained through its strong international presence and unique cultural character. And if the past and the present are any indication of the future, then this volume predicts that Japanese architecture will gain a stronger foothold and following in global design theory in the decades to come.
