His studies of 17th-18th-century wooden buildings document minimalist, grid-based structures using stark black-and-white photographs, some color photographs and numerous line drawings. His book, highly prized in terms of design and content, contributed significantly to introducing Japanese aesthetics to Western architecture, art and graphics. Mies van der Rohe, for example, gave it to many of his friends. The reprint is enriched by a text on the history of the book by Christian Blaser, Werner Blaser's son, a contribution by Inge Andritz on Mies van der Rohe and Japanese architecture, and a personal afterword by Tadao Ando.

Summary:
This book discusses the architectural influence that Japan and the West have had on each other during the last 150 years. While the recent histories of Western and Japanese architecture have been well recorded, they have rarely been interwoven. Based on extensive research, this book provides a synthetic overview that brings together the main themes of Japanese and Western architecture since 1850, showing that neither could exist in its present state without the other. It should be no surprise that the Bank of Japan in Tokyo is based upon the national banks in Brussels and London or that Le Corbusier’s cabanon at Cap Martin in the south of France is based upon an eight mat tatami room. In considering these histories, this book demonstrates the mutual interdependence of both architectural cultures while, at the same time, acknowledging their differences.

Summary:
The largely unknown oeuvre of the Philippine architect Leandro V. Locsin (1928-1994) embodies the search for identity in the built environment. Having completed his studies, Locsin opened his practice in 1953 in the capital Manila which, after the aerial attacks by the Allied forces for the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation, had been almost completely destroyed. The reconstruction, as well as technical innovations and favorable political and economic conditions, made it possible for him to design a wide range and large number of projects, including hotels, commercial buildings, churches, cultural venues, and public buildings. His work combines inspiration from modernism with local traditions and comprises a total of 245 projects, of which more than half were completed. The book presents a selection of the most important buildings and projects.

Summary:
This volume presents the ArtLab project, which highlights the intersection of science, art, and the public at the Lausanne Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in Switzerland. Designed by the renowned Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, ArtLab is a symbolic place of art, culture, and technology. The project combines three structures: the first is a welcome area to learn about the university's research, the second structure is an exhibition space that hosts art installations, while the third pavilion houses the newly digitized Montreux Jazz Festival archives and a café. The three pavilions are connected, constituting a single building with a folded roof, a topographical flow, and a hybrid steel and wood frame. ArtLab is located near buildings by SANAA and Dominique Perrault, forming a new heart for the EPFL campus.

Price:
$60.00
(available to order)
Summary:
This publication from acclaimed architect and critic Mohsen Mostafavi traces a theoretical and visual narrative through architecture's relationship with the colour black. Bringing together a rich inventory of images, it illuminates this connection by considering parallel developments in global art practices with references ranging from Japanese screens to Rothko, Adolf Loos to Norman Foster, Hans Holbein to Derek Jarman. Alongside these renowned touchpoints, Mostafavi draws on a little-known and highly distinctive text by the Marxist German art historian Max Raphael, based on a collection of historic paintings in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Contemporaneous with the evolution of black paintings by New York's Abstract Expressionists, Raphael's essay offers a drastically contrasting approach to the same multivalent subject. The book is completed by Rapahel's luminous essay, published in its entirety for the first time in an English translation by Pamela Johnston, as well as conversations with Swiss architect Peter Märkli, whose work with the colour black is informed by Raphael's writings, and Theaster Gates. By juxtaposing the present with the recent and distant past, this book provides a many-layered reading of the colour black ? and of colour more widely ? in relation to contemporary architectural thinking and practice.
