Reviews
A richly illustrated overview of Kuma's oeuvre that delves into his complete archive of built landmarks across the globe., For the past 30 years, I have been driven to create architecture by the desire to recover materials, and to reconnect people and physical things. It turned out to be the most enjoyable experience imaginable. This is because the world itself is material., This immense architectural tome establishes once and for all that sustainability and style need not be set at odds., Through descriptions, elevation drawings, sketches, and photographs, the architect's signature texture seems to jump off the page.

Synopsis
After Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, and Fumihiko Maki, Kengo Kuma has breathed renewed vigor and lightness into Japanese architecture . Departing from the modernist skyscraper of the 20th century, Kuma traveled through his native Japan to develop a truly sustainable approach, translating local craftsmanship and resources into site-specific, timely buildings. Informed by tradition, and with both feet firmly planted in the present, this "materialist" heralds a new tactile architecture marked by its engaging surfaces , innovative structures , and fluid forms , reconnecting people with the physicality of a house . Kuma's objective, above all else, is "just to respect the culture and environment of the place where I am working." To this end, Kuma shaped the China Academy of Art's Folk Art Museum partially from discarded roof tiles; created a Chapel out of birch and moss in Nagano; and worked with local craftsmen to sculpt the V&A Dundee into a twisted, layered reflection of the Scottish coastal cliffs. With an extraordinary sensitivity for space, light, and texture, Kuma reveals unexpected qualities in materials, finding the weightlessness of stone in Chokkura Plaza and the softness of aluminum in the thatched roof of the Yangcheng Lake Tourist Transportation Center . More recently, the architect brought his philosophy to the Japan National Stadium built for the Olympic Games, originally planned for 2020. Kuma has said the stadium could be "the catalyst that will transform Tokyo back from a concrete city. I want it to set an example that will help alter the direction of Japanese architectural design." In this XXL-sized monograph with some 500 illustrations spanning photographs , sketches , and plans , Kuma guides us through his entire career to date, detailing milestone projects as well as ongoing works ., After Tadao Ando, Toyo Ito, and Fumihiko Maki, Kengo Kuma has breathed renewed vigor and lightness into Japanese architecture.

Informed by tradition and with both feet firmly planted in the present, the "materialist" heralds a new tactile architecture marked by its engaging surfaces, innovative structures, and fluid forms, reconnecting people with the physicality of a house. Kuma's objective, above all else, is "just to respect the culture and environment of the place where I am working." To this end, Kuma shaped the China Academy of Art from discarded roof tiles, which rise and fall along with the natural terrain; created a chapel out of birch and moss in Nagano, Japan; and more recently worked with local craftsmen to sculpt the V&A Dundee into a twisted, layered reflection of the Scottish coastal cliffs. With an extraordinary sensitivity for space, light, and texture, Kuma reveals unexpected qualities in matter, finding the weightlessness of stone in Chokkura Plaza and the softness of aluminum in the thatched roof of the Yangcheng Lake Tourist Transportation Center. Now, the architect is bringing his philosophy of architecture in harmony with its environment to a project of unprecedented scale and importance: Japan's National Stadium for the 2020 Summer Olympic Games, now near completion. Kuma has said the stadium could be "the catalyst that will transform Tokyo back from a concrete city. I want it to set an example that will help alter the direction of Japanese architectural design." In this XXL-sized monograph jam-packed with some 700 illustrations spanning photographs, sketches, and plans, Kuma guides us through his entire career to date, detailing milestone projects as well as ongoing works.Also available in a Collector's Edition limited to 200 copies, each signed by Kengo Kuma, The future of architecture has never been so closely tied to the future of the planet--and in our search for solutions, we'd do well to look to Kengo Kuma.
