Modern Architecture in Japan


The contemporary architecture of Japan has long been among the most inventive in the world, recognized for sustainability and infinite creativity. No fewer than seven Japanese architects have won the Pritzker Prize. Since Osaka World Expo '70 brought contemporary forms center stage, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. With his intentionally limited vocabulary of geometric forms, Tadao Ando has since then put Japanese building on the world's cultural map, establishing a bridge between East and West. In the wake of Ando's mostly concrete buildings, figures like Kengo Kuma (Japan National Stadium intended for the Olympic Games, originally planned for 2020), Shigeru Ban (Mount Fuji World Heritage Center), and Kazuyo Sejima (Kanazawa Museum of 21st Century Art of Contemporary Art) pioneered a more sustainable approach. Younger generations have successfully developed new directions in Japanese architecture that are in harmony with nature and connected to traditional building. Rather than planning on the drawing board, the architects presented in this collection stand out for their endless search for forms, truly reacting on their environment. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book reveals how this unique creativity is a fruit of Japan's very particular situation that includes high population density, a modern, efficient economy, a long history, and the continual presence of disasters in the form of earthquakes. Accepting ambiguity, as seen in the evanescent reflections of Sejima's Kanazawa Museum, or constant change and the threat of catastrophe is a key to understanding what makes Japanese architecture different from that of Europe or America. This XL-sized book highlights 39 architects and 55 exceptional projects by Japanese masters-from Tadao Ando's Shanghai Poly Theater, Shigeru Ban's concert hall La Seine Musical, SANAA'S Grace Farms, Fumihiko Maki's 4 World Trade Center, to Takashi Suo's much smaller sustainable dental clinic. Each project is introduced with photos, original floor plans and technical drawings, as well as insightful descriptions and brief biographies. An elaborate essay traces the country's building scene from the Metabolists to today and shows how the interaction of past, present, and future has earned contemporary Japanese architecture worldwide recognition.

Paradoxy čchanového mistra


Tung-šan, celým jménem Tung-šan Liang-ťie, byl proslulý čínský čchanový mistr z 9. století, žák a pokračovatel mnicha Jün-jen Tchan-šenga. Věřil, že i neživé věci mohou slyšet výklad o dharmě, a učil se mu naslouchat. Stanovil a vysvětlil pět stupňů, jež vedou po cestě k osvícení. Spolu se svým žákem Cchao-šanem Pen-ťim založil školu Cchao-tung (japonsky Sótó), nazvanou podle jejich jmen a ovlivněnou naukou buddhistické filosofické školy Chua-jen (jap. Kegon), založenou na Avatamsaka sútře. Bylo mu dáno posmrtné přízvisko Čchanový mistr Wu-pen, to jest ten, kdo pochopil podstatu. Na stúpě s jeho ostatky je psáno: Vědomost moudrosti. Tung-šanovo učení bylo sepsáno až v 17. století, v rámci Rozprav pěti škol. Z této verze vychází náš překlad. Tung-šanovy rozpravy si rovněž získaly značnou oblibu v Japonsku, kde je upravil a v roce 1739 samostatně vydal mnich Gimoku Genkai. Rozpravy z čínských originálů přeložila, předmluvu napsala, poznámkami a glosářem opatřila Lucie Olivová. Tato pražská sinoložka je rovněž autorkou druhého textu v tomto výboru, a to menší studie „O čchanové malbě“. Zde stručně nastiňuje vývoj tohoto jedinečného malířského směru v čínské a japonské kultuře a komentuje obrazy slavných čínských i japonských zenových mistrů z 10. - 19. století, které jsou v knize reprodukovány (Mu-čchi, Liang Kchaj, Sengai Gibon a jiní).

Small Hotels Rural


In the world today, the homogeny of most services and the low-cost tag applied to nearly any entity ends up creating a self-defensive reaction in those still searching for something specific, the particular in the regular. It therefore means finding that distinctiveness which makes the experience felt in the hotels presented here fly far beyond a simple classification by number, area or volume. The largest hotel project presented in this volume reaches no higher than 104 guestrooms.

Research & Design Architecture


Digital tools have radically transformed the design, practice and construction of architecture. But behind the superslick, photorealist renderings of projects that are never built is an entire body of design research that informs the latest innovations in design and construction. Research & Design: The Architecture of Variation, edited by a pioneer of the digital revolution, examines the hottest areas of architectural design. The book takes its cue from the practice of mass customization, one of the most important design and retail trends of recent years, to consider how variations on the same design idea can be applied to a broad spectrum of architectural, engineering and construction solutions.

Pattern Design


Patterns are everywhere – on paper or cloth, as wallpaper or as wrapping material. Patterns can be strictly abstract and geometrical or concrete, multicoloured or monochrome. Sometimes they serve as a background, sometimes as a coating. They are usually composed of a recurrent motif – often floral or natural, sometimes abstract. They have in common that they're not meant to be seen as a picture with a focus, nor as the main thing that draws the attention. The purpose of a pattern is mostly to create a mood, a backdrop, a setting for the main thing. Creating an ideal pattern requires a certain restraint and a good knowledge of colours. Historically, William Morris springs to the mind with his famous quasi-mediaeval designs for panels and textiles. More recently, the Finnish company Marimekko defined a style that is mostly associated with the sixties, though their influence is still visible today. You'll find traces of both in many of the designs collected in this book. Regardless if they're stark and restrained, or flowery and colourful – “the Exciting World Of Pattern Design” features an abundance of patterns of all kinds and dimensions. They're all brand new, they're inspired and inspiring, they're original, decorative, funny, pretty, unusual, flashy or subdued, vintage or totally modern. We've collected new patterns in every conceivable form. This time, the focus lies on patterns.

Calligraphy and Graphic Design

Calligraphy differs from computer graphics because of its quality and unquestionable originality. An inscription carried out by hand communicates so much more than a standard typography. This volume presents a collection of inscriptions, titles and signs found in work in diverse commercial sectors, such as packaging, fashion, the publishing industry and graphic advertising in general. An international line-up of twenty-three professional calligraphers (including Italian, Spanish, Argentine and Swiss calligraphers) have contributed to the featured projects, all clearly divided into different subject areas.
