Description

Kengo Kuma - Complete Works – A prominent Japanese architect of our time, Kengo Kuma creates a contemporary design language that artfully combines the country's traditional building arts with the use of sophisticated technologies and materials.

This book presents a complete collection of 30 architectural projects undertaken by Kuma to date – starting from his iconic "Water/Glass House" (1995) to the V&A Dundee museum (2018).

Details:
• Kenneth Frampton's updated and revised essay discusses Kuma's work within the context of post-war Japan's flourishing architectural environment and influential figures, and describes the international acclaim that Kuma's ideas and buildings have achieved
• The main part of the book is dedicated to a detailed presentation of the projects, accompanied by descriptive texts and precise drawings, organized according to the material themes that have defined the architect's signature style
• The new edition adds five new projects: Komatsu Seiren Fabric Laboratory fa-bo, Under One Roof (for EPFL ArtLab), Japan House São Paulo, China Academy of Art's Folk Art Museum, and V&A Dundee
