Résumé:
Professor Zhao Xiang, from Fukuoka University, provides indepth analyses of the historical influences of a dozen different design themes that have played a vital role in Japanese professional practice across the last six decades, such as the stereoscopic detached living mode; the new parameters for personal and traditional 'space'; the spatial responses to a modern family concept; the use of 'abstract space'; and even urban guerilla housing. There are also more than 40 case studies, illustrated throughout, that serve as the strongest reflection of the rich diversity of modern houses currently trending across Japan today.

Former boxer and a self-taught architect, Tadao Ando (Osaka, Japan, 1941) is considered to be one of the masters of contemporary architecture. Monumental, abstract, and essential, his extensive oeuvre – with over three hundred completed buildings – is defined by the use of stringent geometries, simple materials, and scenographic lighting. After introductions by Kenneth Frampton and Luis Fernández-Galiano, ''AV Monographs 241-242'' presents a selection of 35 works arranged in a detailed chronological journey, and which take stock of the existential serenity and connection with nature that characterizes the oeuvre of the Japanese master.

Résumé:
In 'Picture Summer on Kodak Film', a poem by two sisters echoes across Fulford’s photographs, comprised of recurring motifs: time, test strips, refracted light, rainbow colour, and distortion through shadows. Characters and places are repeated in kaleidoscopic compositions throughout this vivid sequence. Though taken across the world (in Canada, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Nepal, Thailand, USA and Vietnam), these photographs come together to create a singular visual language: one bright, timeless, fictional place. A place imbued with the unexpected beauty, humor and meaning, that one has come to expect from Jason Fulford.
