This complete record of work to date details the ideas, theories and inspiration behind Kengo Kuma’s output, including newly commissioned photography, architectural drawings and a privileged view of the refined architectonic vocabulary that characterises Kuma’s buildings. It also features our very own iconic V&A Dundee building. This is a bargain of a book!
One of the most important contemporary Japanese architects of our time, Kengo Kuma has forged a modern design language that artfully combines his homeland’s traditional building crafts with sophisticated technologies and innovative materials. Whilst maintaining a deep respect for native construction techniques, Kuma considers the necessity of a globalized approach to the design of his buildings, representing a significant generational shift in a country rich with contemporary architecture.
