A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Japan is one of the few countries in the world today with an ability to foster on a broad scale both a culture of high quality, contemporary architecture and a futuristic urbanism. Notwithstanding recent economic difficulties, diversity and innovation in design continue to shape the built environment with astonishing results. Benefiting from the legacies of both Eastern and Western traditions, the widespread application of the latest technologies, as well as responding boldly and critically to the rapid encroachments of the information age, Japanese architects are shaping the architecture of the future with all its promises, doubts, and contradictions.
