Description
Contemporary Japanese architecture has, over half a century,
achieved world-wide recognition not only for its highly innovative,
often futuristic qualities, but also for its sensitive response to
Japan's cultural and physical context in the challenging setting of
its increasingly urbanized environment. Today it is admired perhaps
as much as its traditional counterpart, with which it often maintains
a meaningful dialog.
Botond Bognar's Architectural Guide Japan introduces over 700 of
the most prominent examples of this fertile architecture, while outlining
its development since the mid-19th century until the present
in a concise historical essay. All texts and the individual entries are
illustrated with about 750 color photos, all taken by the author, and
many drawings. Detailed information about each entry is enhanced
by geo-data in the form of QR codes.
