{"product_id":"kazuo-shinohara-3-houses","title":"Kazuo Shinohara – 3 Houses","description":"“Some books are loved for their poetic power, others for their brilliant theoretical ideas, still others for their aesthetic presentation. Only a few manage to combine all these aspects. Here [the editors] have succeeded.” Alexander Stumm, BauNetz, on the first edition of 2019\n\u003cp\u003e2025 marks the centenary of Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006), one of the most distinguished and influential Japanese architects of the 20th century. In homage, this stunning book, first published by Quart Verlag in 2019 and winner of one of the 2020 Most Beautiful Swiss Books awards, becomes available again in a new edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eKazuo Shinohara—3 Houses\u003c\/em\u003e analyzes three of the architect’s key designs: the House in White (1966), the House in Uehara (1976), and the House in Yokohama (1984). The large-sized volume features floor plans, sections, and elevations, all newly redrawn matching the scale of Shinohara’s originals, as well as reproductions of his hand drawings and archival photographs. Contributions by architectural historian David B. Stewart (1942–2025), who taught alongside Shinohara as professor at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and architect Shin-ichi Okuyama (born 1961) place the three private homes within his oeuvre and offer insights into his particular working methods. A foreword by Ryue Nishizawa (born 1958), cofounder of SANAA and 2010 Pritzker Prize laureate, highlights Shinohara’s lasting significance and influence on contemporary architecture in Japan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"search-metadata\"\u003eHouse in White, House in Uehara, House in Yokohama Christian Dehli, Andrea Grolimund 978-3-03860-457-0\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Park Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53181956292936,"sku":"9783038604570","price":120.0,"currency_code":"CHF","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/0255\/9816\/files\/9783038604570.jpg?v=1779811685","url":"https:\/\/www.hochparterre-buecher.ch\/products\/kazuo-shinohara-3-houses","provider":"Hochparterre Bücher","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
