 Providing a comprehensive overview of the work of this celebrated Japanese practice and the two architects driving it, this sizeable volume combines three, until now out-of-print numbers, in one edition. Thoroughly illustrated - with full page photographs, plans, details and explanatory texts - a total of 59 works and projects are examined. Everything from residential designs, such as the Y' house and House in a Plum Grove,' to museums and commercial projects, such as the N' Museum in Nakachi, and the Christian Dior' building, Omotesando, are included, along with competition entries and unrealized buildings.



About the Architect

Kazuyo Sejima is a Japanese architect. After studying at Japan Women's University and working in the office of Toyo Ito, in 1987 she founded Kazuyo Sejima and Associates.

In 1995 she founded the Tokyo-based firm SANAA (Sejima and Nishizawa and Associates) together with her former employee Ryue Nishizawa. 

Sejima has been appointed Director of the Architecture Sector for the Venice Biennale, for which she will curate the 12th Annual International Architecture Exhibition, to be held in 2010. She is the first woman ever selected for this position.

In 2010 she was awarded the Pritzker Prize, together with Ryue Nishizawa. ~ wiki


Product Description

SANAA's housing projects, both finished (House A, S House, House in a Plum Grove, Small House and Moriyama House), and unfinished projects (Flower House, Garden & House, Seijo Apartments, Ichikawa Apartments, House in China and Eda Apartments). SANAA's architecture embraces complexities within deceptively simple appearances. It has many elements that are impossible to understand unless actually experienced. In contrast with modern architecture, SANAA has many aspects that cannot be revealed in representative media such as plans, models, and photographs. The representations of their architectural works incorporate ambiguity and chronological elements. This characteristic makes Sanaa one of the most innovative offices in the current architectural panorama.
