Résumé:
Hong Kong Inside Outside combines two major series of Wolf's work. For the first, Wolf has removed any trace of the horizon from the frame, capturing the relentless abstraction of the city’s residential high-rises while exploring the spatial experience of its inhabitants. For the second series, Wolf has juxtaposed the anonymity of these exteriors with interior portraits of 100 individuals and families surrounded by all of their belongings in identical public housing spaces that measure 100 square feet. This study forms in part a typology that allows the viewer to study how individuals make the confined spaces their own.

Résumé:
Traditional Japanese packaging is an art form that applies sophisticated design and natural aesthetics to simple objects. Largely constructed of bamboo, rice straw, hemp twine, paper, and leaves, all of the objects shown here are made from natural materials. Through photographs of authentic examples of traditional Japanese packaging—with commentary on the origins, materials, and use of each piece—the items here offer a look into a lost art, while also reminding us of the connection to nature and the human imprint of handwork that was once so alive and vibrant in our everyday lives. This classic book was originally published under the title How to Wrap Five More Eggs in 1975.

Résumé:
Qu'elle soit contemporaine ou traditionnelle, l'architecture japonaise est une source d'inspiration pour les architectes et designers à travers le monde. La scène architecturale japonaise est, depuis quelque temps, au coeur des débats, notamment grâce au travail de jeunes artistes visionnaires allant à l'encontre des standards contemporains aussi bien en Europe qu'aux Etats-Unis. Des musées aux demeures privées, en passant par les nouveaux bureaux, les immeubles universitaires, les aéroports et les temples ainsi que les écoles, gares et églises, les projets présentés dans cet ouvrage sont très variés. Ces créations sont celles de jeunes cabinets émergents tels que Sou Fujimoto Architects et Junya Ishigami & Associates mais aussi d'architectes renommés comme Toyo Ito, Tadao Ando, Kengo Kuma et SANAA. On y trouve enfin des projets de cabinets internationaux localisés au Japon comme ceux de Richard Rogers Partnership, Foster &. Partners, Herzog &, de Meuron. Ouvrage de référence, La Nouvelle Architecture japonaise est un guide essentiel, non seulement pour les architectes et designers mais aussi pour tous les amateurs d'architecture curieux de découvrir la place unique qu'occupe dans ce domaine le Japon face au reste du monde .
