Summary:

"Increasingly the recipient of international renown, Kengo Kuma's work is characterized by a delicate simplicity and minimalism, incorporating a wide range of ephemeral transparencies. Their vibrancy is achieved largely by the extensive use of screens: metal, wooden, bamboo, and even stone louvers or slats, as well as paper, plastic, and glass surfaces or membranes. His use of new, sophisticated, and efficient technologies, his sensitivity to site, and his attention to the ecological and prevailing social context of his work are all explored in this monograph. This book features twenty-four of Kuma's most important projects, including many of his recent works such as the Museum of Ando Hiroshige, the Stone Museum, the Horai Onsen Bath House, the Louis Vuitton Tokyo Headquarters (One Omotesando), and the Shinonome Apartment Building."--Jacket.
