An enormous anthology of the most remarkable recent work by architects in Japan, this 800-page book captures the dynamism and variation of Japanese practice today. Richly illustrated with several pages of photographs, architectural drawings and plans, each of the 40 completed projects from among 28 featured offices is accompanied by a short explanatory text. With a mix of both established names, such as Kengo Kuma and Endo Shuhei, and young and up-and-coming practices, the volume provides a fascinating sense of the motivation and direction architects in Japan are taking today.
