Résumé:
Yoshiharu Tsukamoto of Atelier Bow-Wow tours the world in his quest to seek out and analyse the behaviour of windows. Featuring gorgeous photographs of hundreds of these objects and their associated interior and exterior spaces – from the mundane to the beautiful and enigmatic – the book explores how windows can create uniquely cultural, urban, and social spaces, as well as stimulate activities like rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. By focusing on this architectural typology, Tsukamoto offers commentary on the allure and fascination of windows, and how they help to generate positive spaces within buildings, which in turns leads to an energising and refreshing sense of living.

C'est un portrait du plus grand architecte du XXe siècle, le prophète des temps machinistes. C'est un voyage surtout, à certains égards un voyage sentimental, l'évocation du paysage intellectuel d'un homme d'un tout autre temps. Un voyage mélancolique. Un voyage en deux moments historiques que sépare la Seconde Guerre mondiale. L'exploration commence par la face nord de ce paysage, escarpée, un ubac plutôt froid, parfois glaçant, obstiné, dur à gravir, où s'entendent les oiseaux noirs : ramage et plumage du jeune Corbu, le corbeau jurassien.
