Contemporary Japanese Architecture. 45th Ed.

Since the Osaka World Expo of 1970 brought contemporary forms to the fore, Japan has held a key position in global architecture. This survey shows how architects such as Tadao Ando, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, Kengo Kuma and Junya Ishigami link past, present and future, and build in greener and more intelligent ways.

Philip Jodidio studied art history and economics at Harvard and edited Connaissance des Arts for more than 20 years. He wrote and edited the book, and his TASCHEN monographs cover Tadao Ando among many other architects. This edition appears in TASCHEN’s 45th Edition series, hardcover, 480 pages, with text in German, French and English.
