Summary:
The newest volume in the Conversations series features Japanese architect Tadao Ando. One of the most celebrated living architects, Ando is best known for crafting serenely austere structures that fuse Japanese building traditions with Western modernism. His minimalist masterworks, geometric forms clad in silky-smooth exposed concrete, are suffused with natural light and set in perfect harmony with the landscape. In these highlights from lectures delivered at the University of Tokyos Graduate School of Architecture, Ando candidly describes his experiences as a largely self-taught practitioner, tracing his development from an early interest in the traditional building craft of his native Japan through his political awakening in the turbulent 1960s to his current stature as one of the worlds foremost architects. In addition to exploring his aesthetic influences and working process, Ando offers students a road map not only for maintaining professional integrity, but also for becoming effective agents of change in the world

Summary:
This large-format monograph on the famed Japanese architect covers six years of theory and practice through an exhaustive look at over 60 projects, from large (V at Dundee, Sanlitum SOHO in Beijing) to small (Sake no Hana in London, Lake House). Kengo Kuma is known for achieving a new kind of transparency in architecture, and is not bound by using only traditional light materials. Included is his essay, Small Architecture, which gives valuable insight into his view that great disasters, not the progress of technology, have been architectures driving force throughout history, with the most recent example being the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

Summary:
From Epicentres to the luxury raves of guerilla stores, from minimalist aesthetics to pop editorials. The fashion system expects innovation, flexibility, softness and entertainement from architecture. It wants legitimisation. It wants the values of the brand staged by architecture laden with meaning. Tracing 30 years of architecture for fashion and communication strategies, from Elio Fiorucci to Rei Kawakubo, by way of Calvin Klein and Giorgio Armani, learning the Japanese lesson and overturning communicative logics with Prada, what will the possible future scenario of a relationship between fashion and architecture be? Claudio Marenco Mores, architect, graduated from the IUAV en Venice with a thesis on the use of architecture as a means of brand communication. He specialised in brand design and marketing for luxury goods at the European Institute of Design. He has worked as editor for various fshion magazines and is currently the marketing manager for a company involved in lighting design. MODE is a project by Fondazione Pitti Discovery directed by Maria Luisa and devoted to the ideas and figures of the fashion world.
