Junya Ishigami - Another Scale of Architecture

Résumé : In 2009, Junya Ishigamis workshop design for the Kanagawa Institute of Technology won Japans top architecture award: the Architectural Institute of Japan Prize. This book offers more proof of Ishigamis precocious talent. Plans, designs, photographs, models and writings from various projects illustrate Ishigamis stated aim to embody in architecture that which has never been embodied before. An essay by historian Taro Igarashi assesses Ishigamis importance and success, including his Golden Lion award at the 12th International Architecture Biennale.
