Abstract

Shigeru Ban (né à Tokyo en 1957) a étudié à la SCI-Arc de Californie et obtenu son diplôme à la Cooper Union School of Architecture de New York. Installé à Tokyo et à Paris, Ban a profondément remis en cause les normes traditionnelles de l'architecture, dessinant une maison sans murs ou un espace d'exposition fait de tubes de papier et de containers de transport. Cette monographie, élaborée en collaboration avec l'architecte, retrace la carrière de Shigeru Ban et présente chacune de ses réalisations, faisant clairement apparaître pourquoi il est l'un des architectes les plus innovants et les plus importants au monde. Contrairement à bon nombre de ses pairs, Ban peut créer des demeures exceptionnelles tout en trouvant le temps de dessiner des logements provisoires pour des zones sinistrées, comme celles de Kobe ou de la Nouvelle-Orléans. Utilisant souvent le papier ou des tubes de carton comme éléments de structure, ses créations ont donné un nouveau sens à l'expression "architecte de papier". À propos de l'auteur: Philip Jodidio (né en 1954) a étudié l'histoire de l'art et l'économie à l'Université d'Harvard, et a été rédacteur en chef du magazine français Connaissance des Arts pendant plus de vingt ans. Il a publié de nombreux articles et livres sur l'architecture contemporaine, dont, chez TASCHEN, la série Architecture Now! ainsi que des monographies sur Tadao Ando, Norman Foster, Richard Meier, Jean Nouvel et Zaha Hadid. Il est un des auteurs internationaux les plus lus dans le domaine de l'architecture. http://www.taschen.com/pages/fr/catalogue/architecture/all/04945/facts.shigeru_ban_complete_works_1985_2010.htm (19/08/10)

Abstract

As in the eponymous exhibition at Mori Art Museum, this volume examines the characteristics of ancient and classical Japanese architecture in a very ambitious attempt to elucidate the major currents of the nation’s architecture from the perspectives of how its genealogies have spread internationally, the pioneering figures in the process, and the mechanisms behind the continued expansion of these genealogies today. It documents 100 projects across nine thematic sections, including materials, models, documents, and interactive installations. Nine stories which are ultimately hypothetical ones, in hopes that they will lead to new discussions and visions for the future of Japan.

Abstract

What lies at the root of Japanese creativity and its architectural artifacts? In his book, the Japanese architect Yuichiro Edagawa explores this question in detail. By analyzing a wide variety of unique exemplary buildings from the sixth century to the present, he determines twelve distinctive characteristics of Japanese architectural creativity and composition, including: intimacy with nature, importance of materials, bipolarity and diversity, asymmetry, devotion to small space, and organic form. The key understanding, which pervades all these characteristics, is that parts precede the whole. The Japanese process of creation begins with designing parts and details and ends with combining them to one edifice, instead of starting with a whole structure and working out the components afterwards. Edagawa provides a personal and comprehensive understanding of Japanese creativity and the architectural process. The book gives us an inspiring insight into Japanese culture and identity, which in its essence is deeply traditional and modern at the same time.

Abstract

Japanese culture and architecture have always fascinated the Western world. One particular, architecturally complex building type at the intersection of multiple currents of Japanese philosophy, art and esthetics is the Japanese teahouse. It is a very private place of meditation, a place where only those may enter who have been invited, in which the host communicates with his or her guests through the medium of tea in the context of the strictly regimented ceremony. This volume expands the reader’s knowledge of the built space that makes this tea ceremony possible. The author explores the philosophical background as well as the stylistic and spatial principles. He takes the reader on a cultural-historical and architectural journey through time, from the beginnings in the 15th century, when the art of the tea ceremony as well as the space in which it took place were recorded for the first time, to the present day, when the design and construction of a teahouse is still perceived in Japan as a great challenge for designers and architects.

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.
