Résumé:
The fundamental topics under consideration in this book are the Japanese ordering of space and form, the flexible arrangement of partitions and room functions in a Japanese home, and the general integrative quality of traditional Japanese architecture. The author describes in detail— with abundant architectural plans and drawings— the influence of body anatomy on traditional Japanese units of measurment and house construction. The layout, framework and methods of space control (shoji, fusuma, etc.), the shutters and doors used in the house, and many other topics are given comprehensive treatment. With a new foreword by architect and professor Mira Locher, Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, this updated hardcover edition brings this popular work to modern readers— in hopes that they may find ideas to adopt into their own home.

Résumé:
Since the mid-1990s, when China allowed its architects to practice independently from government-run design institutes, a new kind of architecture, distinguished by unique regional characteristics, has emerged. "China Dialogues" is a rigorously selected collection of insightful interviews that the book’s author Vladimir Belogolovsky has conducted with 21 leading Chinese architects during his extensive travels in China. At the time when so many buildings that are being built around the world are no longer rooted in their place and culture, the leading Chinese architects succeeded collectively in producing unique architectural body of work that could not be confused with any other regional school. The interviews are accompanied by over 120 photographs and drawings of beautifully executed projects built throughout China since early 2000s. "China Dialogues" opens up the thinking process of the country’s top architects, as they share their ideas, insights, intentions, and visions in unusually revealing and candid ways.

Résumé:
An architectural view of one of the world's most dynamic and exciting cities. Shanghai's explosive development since the early 1990s has provided students and fans of architecture with myriad examples of superlatives: from the world's tallest buildings to its longest bridges. As timely as it is comprehensive, this collection of essays confronts the broader concerns of Shanghai's role as a harbinger of China's future and a global testing ground. The essays cover the socio-political, cultural, and historic aspects of the city as well as offer more pointed topical analyses of urban design, preservation, and the developments of the city's waterfronts. Throughout the book, color photographs and illustrations examine thirty ongoing and completed projects. The resulting overview presents a vibrant city of tension and contradiction, one that both mirrors and drives China's struggle to break free from economic constraints while adhering to its political ideals.

Résumé:
Tokyo is one of the largest and most complex cities in the world and represents an intriguing proving ground for new ideas on architecture and urbanism. Working in Tokyo means working in the future, and often two sets of rules seem to apply to projects in Tokyo - on the one hand the city's growth is as protean as that of LA or Mexico City, yet this growth is channeled by Japan's rigid adherence to norms and rules and Japanese architecture's embrace of the theoretical and new. This book presents Tokyo as seen through its growth and design from the 19th century onward with a special focus on highlighting the deep roots of contemporary trends in Tokyo architecture.

Résumé:
"Space" is a photographic exploration of Japanese architecture and design in size-constricted areas, exploring imaginative, ingenious, and revolutionary solutions to space-compromised living. Masters in the art of managing small spaces, the Japanese in their design have given rise to a particular style of ingenuity. In their work, Japanese interior designers and architects constantly draw on cultural traditions, while using a modern, even radical approach. Whether in the use of lightweight partitions to create flexible spaces, deliberate profligacy to give a feeling of generosity, or strange perspectives, the results are not mere workaday solutions, but artistic and unusual ones that can turn a lack of space into a surfeit of style.

Résumé:
Un panorama d'une centaine de maisons illustrant huit décennies de création architecturale au Japon, conçues par 75 architectes ou agences. La sélection permet de découvrir l'évolution des styles, associant originalité et tradition, et des matériaux. Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire.
