Résumé:
Aglaia Konrad’s photographic work probes the social, cultural, economic, political, and historical parameters that inform architecture and urbanism. 'Japan Works' is the result of her journey through Japan in the autumn of 2019. Using a pre-compiled list of places with exceptional architecture, Konrad took thousands of photos in Tokyo, Itoigawa, Kyoto, Nagoya and Osaka. In addition to mostly iconic, post-war Metabolist architecture, Konrad also took a large number of photos of nonspecific architectural moments and infrastructure that, with the same intensity, give their own impression of the architectural landscape in Japan. Free associations of full-page photographs alternate with contact sheets documenting her itinerary. These are informed by postscript glosses written by architect and critic Julian Worrall.

Résumé:
In this book, architect François Blanciak surveys the robotic faces omnipresent in Tokyo buildings, offering an architectural taxonomy based not on the usual variables—size, material, historical style—but on the observable expressions of buildings. Are the eyes (windows) twinkling, the mouth (door) laughing? Is that balcony a howl of distress? Investigating robot aesthetics through his photographs of fifty buildings, Blanciak argues that the robot face originated in architecture—before the birth of robotics—and has played a central role in architectural history. Part photographic survey, part theoretical inquiry, the publication upends the usual approach to robotics in architecture by considering not the automation of architectural output but the aesthetic properties of the robot.

Résumé:
This collection of new work by celebrated photographer Takashi Homma approaches one of the most iconic and widely represented images in Japan and the world: Mount Fuji. With its title referencing Hokusai’s famous series of ukiyo-e woodblock prints, Homma evokes his country’s traditions of representation and depiction while offering a haunting new encounter with his subject. Using pinhole cameras as well as digital technology, Homma forms ghostly images of the mountain as it resides to the southwest of Tokyo in collaged views that place it ambiguously in the wider landscape – both invoking and subverting the spectacle it has come to be associated with. With this new book, Homma writes a subtle and essential new chapter in the history of Japanese visual culture.

Résumé:
"Kazuo Shinohara—3 Houses" analyzes three of the architect’s key designs: the House in White (1966), the House in Uehara (1976), and the House in Yokohama (1984). The large-sized volume features floor plans, sections, and elevations, all newly redrawn matching the scale of Shinohara’s originals, as well as reproductions of his hand drawings and archival photographs. Contributions by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025), who taught alongside Shinohara as professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and architect Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) place the three private homes within his oeuvre and offer insights into his particular working methods. A foreword by Ryue Nishizawa, cofounder of SANAA and 2010 Pritzker Prize laureate, highlights Shinohara’s lasting significance and influence on contemporary architecture in Japan.
