Comment construire après un événement aussi destructeur que la catastrophe de mars 2011 qui a affecté le Japon ? Telle est la question que pose le grand architecte japonais Toyô Itô (prix Pritzker 2013). Il plaide ici pour une architecture nouvelle, mieux intégrée dans l'environnement naturel, plus en prise avec la société et plus à l'écoute des besoins des habitants. Cette réflexion trouve une application concrète dans l'action que mène Toyô Itô pour la reconstruction de la région du nord-est du Japon.

Summary:
In this new volume of the CCA Singles presenting the Meanwhile in Japan conversations, Toyo Ito sat with a group of young architects and academics to discuss how his early work of the 1970s and 1980s took a radical approach to intervening in a newly emerged consumerist culture in Tokyo. As architects elsewhere in the world sought to break through the conventions of modernism, Ito attempted to bring new significance to architecture in a rapidly transforming city, with particular attention to the lives of women in urban society. Led by Koji Ichikawa, the conversation included Mikio Wakabayashi, Kozo Kadowaki, Yutaro Muraji, Leo Tanishige, Mariko Terada, Naohiko Hino, Erika Nakagawa, and Tomoharu Makabe.

Summary:
Published in conjunction with an exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, "A Japanese Constellation" focuses on the work of a small group of architects and designers influenced by and gravitating around the architect Toyo Ito and the architectural firm SANAA. Beginning with an overview of Ito’s career and his influence as a mentor to a new generation of Japanese architects, the catalogue presents an illustrated portfolio of recent works by three generations of internationally acclaimed designers, including Sou Fujimoto, Akihisa Hirata and Junya Ishigami. "A Japanese Constellation" reveals a network of influence and cross-pollination that has become particularly relevant at the start of the 21st century. Essays by curators, architectural historians and critics reflect on the transmission of an architectural sensibility, and suggest an alternative model to what has been commonly described as an individuality-based "star-system" in architecture. Offering a panorama of interlinked, settled or up-and-coming stars, the publication reveals how shared architectural themes travel across generations of architects, creating a strong identity for a regional practice with global impact.

Summary:
The debut portfolio by Onishimaki+Hyakudayuki Architects, a young Japanese duo based in Tokyo, focuses on their concept of “telling architecture like a story”. At the forefront of a new generation of architects in Japan, their projects are known for narrative characteristics and are integrated into the environment. Although only a handful have been realised, their positive attitude towards architecture views reality in a rather candid fashion, accepting and inheriting the history of a place. Along with a foreword by Toyo Ito and critical texts by Taro Igarashi and Yoshikazu Nango, this beautifully presented book highlights significant works, such as the Double Helix House.
