JA 88. Yearbook 2012 Meest Verkocht

This special yearbook edition of ‘The Japan Architect’ gathers 34 notable projects by Japanese architects; ones which offer critical, globally-oriented perspectives on the state of architecture in the country today, almost two years after the Great East Japan Earthquake. It takes a look at reconstruction efforts by architects, along with new research processes, high-rise developments, methods of craftsmanship and new approaches to living. Includes essays by Shoko Fukuya, Paolo Baratta, Peter Cachola Schmal, Bijoy Jain, Hannes Rössler, and others, plus an interview with David Chipperfield about this year’s Japanese Pavilion at the Venice Biennale.
