自从1970年大阪世博会将当代形式带入中心舞台以来，日本在全球建筑界一直占有重要地位。本书介绍了日本建筑的最新情况，揭示了安藤忠雄、SANAA、坂茂、隈研吾和石神纯也等建筑师是如何将过去、现在和未来重新联系起来的，他们的建筑比以往任何时候都要环保和智能。

传统的现代

对日本当代建筑界的一次概述

多年来，日本的当代建筑一直是世界上最具创造性的建筑之一，其可持续性和无限的创造力是公认的。不少于7名日本建筑师获得了普利兹克奖。

自1970年大阪世博会将当代形式带到舞台中央以来，日本一直是全球建筑界的一个重要角色。安藤忠雄有意限制几何形式的表现方式，从那时起。他为日本建筑在世界文化版图上赢得了一席之地，建立了东西方之间的桥梁。在安藤的大部分混凝土建筑之后，像隈研吾（为奥运会准备的日本国家体育场，原计划于2020年建成）、坂茂（富士山世界遗产中心）和濑岛和世（金泽21世纪当代艺术博物馆）等人开创了一种更可持续的方法。年轻一代成功地开创了日本建筑的新方向，使建筑与自然和谐相处，并与传统建筑相连。本书所介绍的建筑师们因其对形式的无尽探索而脱颖而出，真正做到了根据环境设计建筑，而不是在绘图板上进行规划。

本书介绍了日本建筑的最新情况，揭示了这种独特的创造力是日本特殊情况的产物，这些特殊情况包括高人口密度、高效的现代化经济、悠久的历史和持续存在的地震灾害。接受模糊性（如Sejima设计的金泽博物馆中虚无缥缈的反射）或持续的变化和灾难的威胁是理解日本建筑与欧洲或美国建筑不同之处的关键。

这本XL开本的书重点介绍了39位建筑师和55个由日本建筑大师设计的杰出项目——从安藤忠雄的上海保利剧院、坂茂的音乐厅La Seine Musical、SANAA的Grace Farms、Fumihiko Maki的4号世贸中心，到Takashi Suo设计的更小的可持续牙科诊所。每个项目都通过照片、原始设计图和技术图纸，以及深刻的描述和简短的传记来介绍。一篇详尽的文章描述了该国从新陈代谢派到今天的建筑界，并展示了过去、现在和未来的互动是如何为日本当代建筑赢得世界认可的。

Since Osaka World Expo ’70 brought contemporary forms center stage, Japan has been a key player in global architecture. Presenting the latest in Japanese building, this book reveals how the likes of Tadao Ando, SANAA, Shigeru Ban, Kengo Kuma, and Junya Ishigami are relinking past, present, and future—building greener and smarter than ever before.

Modern by Tradition

A survey of Japan’s contemporary architecture scene

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.
