Description

Contemporary Japanese architecture has reached a turning point: The ever-smaller, ever-whiter, ever-more minimalist designs no longer can respond to society’s demands: Norihiko Dan is an architect and urban designer of a new breed: Cosmopolitan, talented, and willing to take the risk to be different. Environmentally sensitive, rich in design, and with a great competence in structures and his 'Universal Form theory', Dan integrates architecture and landscape. He advocates a new street rejuvenation type city planning with his new townhouse methods. He is involved in such projects as the Taipei International Airport, Sun-Moon-Lake Visitor Center, and rejuvenation for Tokyo’s Muromachi District. This book introduces Dan’s exciting practice to an international audience for the first time.
