Others may think of more contemporary works: massive modular walls of rough concrete poured in place and bearing imprints of their formwork in the manner of Ando Tadao, the lighter structures of Ito Toyo and Sejima Kazuyo, or the finely wrought facades of Kuma Kengo. A generational chasm and, rather surprisingly, even a historical one seems to have opened up between the emblematic images of traditional Japanese architecture, in which wood is the material of choice, and more current and innovative work, in which its use has been reduced. Even though the carpenter has long been the lead builder, contemporary architectural culture appears to have forgotten this reservoir of construction experience accumulated over centuries. \u003ci\u003eThe Carpenter and the Architect\u003c\/i\u003e expertly corrects this outdated notion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benoît Jacquet, Teruaki Matsuzaki, Manuel Tardits\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 2889154459\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9782889154456\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Epfl Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.80w x 1.00d","brand":"Benoît Jacquet","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46571167318271,"sku":"9782889154456","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8b7c3ebc-45a8-4ba1-90f6-da82e66704c3.jpg?v=1738807441","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-carpenter-and-the-architect-benozt-jacquet-9782889154456","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
