Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First Edition. Olive end-papers. Titles; dedication; contents list; preface; foreword & introduction to the front. Project Japan and Art Media, Edo to Now by Graham Cooper, with essays contributed by Japanese architects Fumihiko Maki, Kisho Kurokawa, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma and Makoto Sei Watanabe. Following a preface by Tadao Ando, one of Japanâs outstanding modern architects, Graham Cooper sets the scene by a brief survey of the history of Japanese architecture. This is followed by an essay entitled âMass Culture and Self-Restraint: a Japanese Aesthetic.â He then discusses the urban context which he describes as âAncient and Modern Cheek by Jowl.â In describing modern Japanese architecture he notes Fumihiko Makiâs perceptive comment that âarchitects have an obligation to involve existing craft skills in the construction industry.â After these introductory essays the book contains a âcatalogueâ (photographs) of buildings by modern Japanese architects together with descriptive commentaries. The personal contributions of modern Japanese articles are followed by a number of reviews beginning with an essay about the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi. Project Japan examines an important period bridging the turn of the century and provides a unique snapshot of important projects in the immediate wake of Japan's extraordinary economic reconstruction. The book marks a significant peak period in the history of construction, which created considerable scope for design ingenuity and skillful application. A full-colour introduction to art in the context of architecture, Project Japan features the personal accounts of five internationally known architects. Although the book's focus is primarily towards the end of the millennium, the historical context and the years of isolation during the Edo period have also been included. Traditional buildings, classical gardens and historic townscapes are presented as keys to understanding the current scene. Size: Oblong 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. 240 pages. Dust Jacket un-clipped.
