By connecting the dots between philosophy, design, geopolitics, and an earnest quest for a greener tomorrow, this book explains how Japanese culture can shed new light on our understanding of ecology, and vice-versa. Using a distinctive blend of academic research and personal experience, Joachim Nijs draws on architectural history to navigate Japan's complex and unique ecological ethic through the lens of four stereotypical phenomena: earthquakes, monsoon climates, nuclear erasure of life, and insularity.

Summary:
This publication looks closely on transforming existing real estate by promoting creative clusters, starting with specific architectures that are examined using an open-minded approach. What are the economic, political and design mechanisms used to build and legitimise them? What city concept is designed and built in these spaces? Can we identify recurrent features, general issues, and compositional orders and logic? The book discusses creative clusters as fertile ground for research and action involving the architectural and urban project and outlines several distinctive traits of professional and design practices in China in the last decade. In particular, the book focus on three recurrent methods used by architectural projects to reconfigure space—Collecting icons, Shifting scale, Bounding borders.

Summary:
Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh, has one of the most important buildings of the 20th century: its parliamentary building by Louis I. Kahn constructed between 1961 and 1982. Little is known, however, about the local architecture scene that has emerged since then. Yet contemporary architecture in Bangladesh exhibits a strong formal idiom that has its roots in tradition and is combined with an innovative handling of local resources such as bamboo and brick. Alongside texts by Andreas Ruby, Niklaus Graber, Kazi Khaleed, Saif Ul Haque and Syed Manzoorul Islam, the special photographs taken by Iwan Baan for this publication capture the imagination.

Summary:
This book tells the story of the architects and buildings that have defined Australia’s architectural culture since the founding of the modern nation through Federation in 1901. That year marked the beginning of a search for better city forms and buildings to accommodate the changing realities of Australian life and to express an emerging, distinctive, and, eventually, confident Australian identity. While Sydney and Melbourne were the settings for many of the major buildings, all states and territories developed architectural traditions based on distinctive histories and climates. Harry Margalit explores the flowering of these many architectural variants, from the bid to create a model city in Canberra, through the stylistic battles that opened a space for modernism, to the idealism of postwar reconstruction, and beyond to the new millennium. Australia reveals a vibrant and influential culture of the built environment, at its best when it matches civic idealism with the sensuality of a country of stunning light and landscapes.

Comme l'a déclaré Itô Teiji à propos de la difficulté de définir l'esthétique japonaise : « Le dilemme auquel nous sommes confrontés vient de ce que notre compréhension est intuitive et perceptuelle plutôt que rationnelle et logique. » De nombreux écrivains japonais privilégient dans la structure de leur travail une qualité d'indécision.

Comme l'a déclaré Itô Teiji à propos de la difficulté de définir l'esthétique japonaise : « Le dilemme auquel nous sommes confrontés vient de ce que notre compréhension est intuitive et perceptuelle plutôt que rationnelle et logique. » De nombreux écrivains japonais privilégient dans la structure de leur travail une qualité d'indécision. Ce ne sont donc pas les hypothèses de l'« esprit qui contrôle » de l'auteur qui sont suivies mais, comme le dit l'expression japonaise, le pinceau lui-même. Le terme japonais zuihitsu, qu'on peut traduire par « essai », n'implique rien d'autre que cela : suivre le pinceau, l'autoriser à tenir les rênes. Par conséquent, il ne s'agit pas ici de s'escrimer pour arriver à des conclusions logiques. Nous chercherons plutôt à définir ces perceptions et variations de l'appréciation esthétique dans un style qui suggère le caractère très incertain de leur description.
