Developing his theory out of close observation and practical knowledge and constantly shifting between historical and more recent examples, Edagawa isolates what he considers to be the distinctive characteristics of Japanese architectural creativity and composition: intimacy with nature, importance of materials, bipolarity and diversity, asymmetry, devotion to small space and an appreciation for organic form. He finds these qualities across Japanese design, and from these extrapolates a theory of Japanese architectural creation. With \u003ci\u003eJapanese Creativity\u003c\/i\u003e, Edagawa provides a personal yet comprehensive survey of Japanese creativity and the architectural process, offering an insight into contemporary Japanese culture and identity, both deeply traditional and modern at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yuichiro Edagawa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3868595082\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783868595086\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jovis Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Yuichiro Edagawa","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43991330717951,"sku":"9783868595086","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55299fbe-b024-419b-8660-85205a2d240c.jpg?v=1683309687","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/japanese-creativity-yuichiro-edagawa-9783868595086","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
