Summary:
This book features innovative and productive responses, in the form of architectural design and thinking, to the shift in Japan’s social condition under demographic changes that are evident in regional cities. These responses also demonstrate the new wave of architectural practice in Japan, focused on the challenges of degrowth. The shrinking and aging of the population is exacerbating the social decline in the regional cities of Japan. While excluded from the market-driven metropolitan areas, architects of the young generation are beginning to build ways of revitalizing regional cities through innovative design or new ways of practicing. This book features works by seven named or unnamed younger architects in Japan that preempt architectural responses to the post-growth condition, a gripping essay by community designer Ryo Yamazaki, and a captivating photo documentation by Kenta Hasegawa. Keynote essay by Toyo Ito.

"The Hypospace of Japanese architecture" pushes past clichés of an exotic Japan to confront the modernity of an island nation whose habit of importing foreign ideas is less about assimilation than transformation, less a process of indigenization than one of cultural invention.

The realization that buildings are dynamic events—phenomena of space-in-time, not inert objects outside time—continues to inform Japanese architecture and suggests how we can rethink the history, theory, and practice of architecture more generally.

Summary:
For some 20 years, Kunming, a provincial capital city in China - 3.2 million inhabitants - has been the twin town of the European metropolis Zurich. As a direct result of this partnership, Kunming now has the first inner-city bus line in China, the first large-scale conservation of a historical part of the town, and new concepts for urban development at a regional level. This pioneering collaboration between western and Chinese planning teams, and the ways in which urban planning has been managed, are not only significant for Kunming but are of importance for all countries which are interested in sharing the expertise and knowledge of professionals whether they be from East or West, North or South, for countries which wish to benefit from western building practice whilst avoiding their mistakes. The challenge of such joint projects surely lies in the confrontation resulting from the traditional and historical background in large Asian cities together with their sense of modernity which has often surpassed the modern western world not only in terms of progress but also problems. In English and Chinese
