One of the greatest and most influential architects of Japan's postwar generation, Shinohara Kazuo (1925-2006) has remained virtually unknown outside the small community of devoted followers. As one of the leaders of architectural movement Metabolism, Shinohara achieved cult- figure stature with sublimely beautiful, purist houses that break away from Japan's postwar suburban architecture.Perhaps the most iconic of Shinohara's works, House of White (1964-66), rearranges a familiar design palette: a square plan, a pointed roof, white walls, and a symbolic heart pillar-to give the almost oceanic spaciousness through abstraction. The underlying formalism in Shinohara's architecture-its basic explorations of geometry and color-lends his work a poetic quality that fuses simplicity and surprise, the ordered and the unexpected.This volume brings together new scholarship from the foremost specialists on Shinohara and Japan's modern architecture. New perspectives and historical frameworks range from the development of the small house as a building type in postwar Japan to Shinohara's engagement with French critical theory.Hitherto unpublished archival drawings and personal travel photographs by Shinohara complement the essays. AUTHOR: Seng Kuan holds a PhD in architectural history from Harvard University and teaches at Harvard Graduate School of Design and the Chinese University of Hong Kong. SELLING POINTS: * Kazuo Shinohara (1925-2006) was a Japanese architect who developed a cult following for his purist houses. He helped develop the architectural movement, Metabolism which is characterized by pure white spaces and megastructures. One of his most well known buildings is House of White. * This book brings together new scholarship from the foremost specialists on Shinohara. * This book deals with Japanese modern architecture which is very influential around the world. * This volume includes previously unpublished archival drawings and personal travel photographs of Shinohara.

Kazuo Shinohara gehört zu den führenden Architekten Japans. Seit er in den fünfziger Jahren mit seinen Arbeiten begann, sind mehr als dreißig Wohnbauten entstanden. In neuerer Zeit hat er sich auch dem Bau von Museen und anderen öffentlichen Bauten zugewandt. Seine frühen Arbeiten zeigen sich der japanischen Tradition verbunden. Das wird besonders in der Raumkonzeption und in der Integration symbolischer Elemente deutlich, wie beispielsweise der freistehenden Säule des House in White in Tokio, 1966. Während der siebziger Jahre versucht er, sich zunehmend von den hergebrachten japanischen Bauformen zu lösen. Kreis, Quadrat und Rechteck, beliebig kombiniert, beherrschen jetzt den Charakter seiner Gebäude. Maschine, Anarchie, Chaos und Vitalität werden zu den zentralen Begriffen seiner Theorie. Die Maschine stellt für ihn ein physikalisches System dar, in welchem Gegenstände auf sachliche Weise miteinander verbunden sind, so wie bei der Gedächtnishalle der Technischen Universität in Tokio, die mit einem aufgesteckten Halbzylinder im Inneren, Stützen aus Stahl und diagonal geteilten Wandflächen einer Riesenmaschine oder einem phantastischen Raumschiff gleicht. Willkürlich und scheinbar unlogisch sind die einzelnen Elemente miteinander kombiniert, so daß sie visuell mit dem Chaos, der Anarchie und der Vitalität der Stadt korrespondieren, der sich das Bauwerk mit seiner Hauptfront zuwendet und in deren Planlosigkeit es untertaucht.

Shinohara, arguably Japan's most original architect, was born in 1925 and comes from a mathematical background. He was trained at Tokyo Institute of Technology, the national polytechnic university (resembling ETH in Zurich); he also taught in the Department of Engineering for some thirty years. One of the substantial figures of late twentieth-century design, he possesses the sensibility of both a Voysey and a Lautreamont. Well known for his residential work, Shinohara has more recently turned his hand to larger buildings, notably the Centennial Hall of Tokyo Institute of Technology, which serves as a club and meeting facility for the alumni and faculty. A work of imposing appearance, Centennial Hall has nonetheless mystified many Japanese observers, who see in it a giant robotic figure towering over the urban landscape. While notions of technology are certainly implied in the design -- the structure could not have been calculated without a computerized matrix of 3180 simultaneous equations-- nothing was farther from the architect's intention than a simple High-Tech emblem, or popular icon.On the contrary, this book portrays Centennial Hall as the culmination of three successive architectural concepts or styles, the product of Shinohara's career as a teacher and hands-on designer during the course of Japan's unbelievably rapid postwar growth. Thus Centennial Hall looks toward what Shinohara speaks of as a fourth space -- with reference to both the F 14 A Tomcat fighter plane and the Apollo 11 moon-landing craft. But just as this work was not intended to evoke comic-book style robots, neither does it seek to embody American-style technology for its own sake.

The story of Shinohara's exquisite modernist gem, a residential home drawing on Japanese vernacular and religious architecture Built in Tokyo in 1961, the Umbrella House is the smallest residential home created by Japanese architect and mathematician Kazuo Shinohara. More than 60 years later, a stroke of good fortune made it possible to save the Umbrella House from demolition and move it to a new location, where it now stands on the Vitra Campus in Weil am Rhein, Germany. The wooden house's post-and-beam construction references traditional Japanese domestic and temple architecture. Experts from Japan and Europe supervised the dismantling of the house in Tokyo and its reassembly in Weil am Rhein. This concise volume traces the long journey of the Umbrella House, in lavish illustrations including impressions from 1960s Japan, architectural designs and plans, and photographs documenting its dismantling and reassembly at its new location. Texts by Ryue Nishizawa (SANAA), Shin-ichi Okuyama and David B. Stewart discuss the Umbrella House against the background of Japanese architectural discourse between 1960 and the present. Kazuo Shinohara(1925-2006) was one of the greatest and most influential architects of Japan's postwar generation, forming what is now widely known as the Shinohara School alongside Toyo Ito, Kazunari Sakamoto and Itsuko Hasegawa. He was awarded the Architectural Institute of Japan's (AIJ) grand prize in 2005. In 2010 the Venice Biennale awarded a special commemorative Golden Lion in memory of Shinohara.

"In addition to highlighting the human benefits of built environments which relate to particular place, time and being, many of the Japanese buildings examined illustrate practical strategies for revealing these universal parameters which are equally applicable beyond Japan. It is suggested that wider use of some of these approaches could not only help to sustain both environmental and cultural identities against the homogenising effects of globalisation, but also has the potential to heighten our appreciation of the peculiar condition of being here now."--Jacket.

Kazuo Shinohara (1925-2006) has proved to be the most influential architect of his generation in shaping contemporary Japanese architecture. His influence stretches from Toyo Ito, Itsuko Hasegawa and Kazunari Sakamoto, via Kazuyo Sejima, to the many excellent young studios working today.
