The Art of Japanese Architecture: History / Culture / Design

Elegantly and well written, with plenty of clear drawings and photos of layouts, details, paintings and different houses, temples, castles etc. Starting with shelters from the first population during the ice age, it goes on via teahouses, castles and farm houses to contemporary architecture. Explains the japanese ideas, developments, history, functions and aesthetics in Japan's architecture of past and present really well. I have just ordered the book about 'The Art of the Japanese Garden' by the same authors, very much looking forward. Highly recommended.

The book is beautifully edited, rich of amazing colour photos and pictures. The text is just as fascinating, clear and exhaustive, as the title states "History, Culture and Design". The perfect reading material for architecture lovers.

Beautiful and thoughtful book.

Entrega muy rápida. Fotos y dibujos excelentes

Item was as expected and arrived quickly and in good condition. It's a beautiful book full of fascinating information. It's like a coffee table book of course, but in my experience most broad-topic architecture books like this kind of have to be. Thanks!
