It separates out the young generation of Japanese architects from the crowded, distinguished, multi-generational field they seek to join, and investigates the topics that absorb them, and the critical issues they face within the new economic reality of Japan and a shifting global order. Salient points in the text are illustrated by beautiful, descriptive images provided by the architects and from the extensive collection of the author. By combining illustrations with timelines and graphics to explain complex ideas, the book is accessible to any student seeking to understand contemporary Japanese architecture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Steele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138941247\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138941243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/18\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 290\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"James Steele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44072918024447,"sku":"9781138941243","price":230.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e3f7835-31e7-4e72-a739-b64504c14042.jpg?v=1685444711","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/contemporary-japanese-architecture-james-steele-9781138941243","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
