内容説明
In our 2005 monograph Kengo Kuma: Selected Works, celebrated architect Kengo Kuma boldly declared that his ultimate aim was to "erase architecture" so that his buildings became one with their surroundings. In recent years he has pursued this goal by focusing primarily on imaginative and unexpected use of materials, creating hypnotizing surfaces that evoke subtle visual sensations by highlighting their materiality. Only by pushing a material to the limits of its capabilities does Kuma believe their true nature can be revealed. Ingenious and yet deceptively simple, this realization represented a major turning point in his desire to give his architecture a presence beyond the merely eye-catching or sculptural.
Material Immaterial: The New Work of Kengo Kuma presents more than thirty of the architect's recent works, including high-profile commissions such as the Suntory Museum in Tokyo and the Ondo Civic Center in Kure; the exquisite Lotus House in Zushi; large-scale urban developments like Sanlitun Village South in Beijing; as well as tea pavilions and installations that have exhibited in the United States, England, Italy, South Korea, China, Germany, and France, many of them never before published. The book also includes an extended essay on the evolution of the architects work, from the founding of Kengo Kuma and Associates in 1990 to the present. An accompanying exhibitthe first retrospective of the architect's work, also titled Material Immaterialdisplayed at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in late 2008 and will travel to locales around the world over the next two years.

Continues to Erase Architecture
2010/9/16
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
This book, published by Princeton Architectural Press (PAP), is a companion to the
earlier edition on Kengo Kuma by PAP. Earlier book surprised the readers how Kuma
could redefine materials. The key term that Kuma used in his earlier essay was "Erase Architecture"
In Water/Glass (1995) project, he wanted to pull the surface of ocean closer to his house than nearby
Bruno Taut's house. He used reflecting pond as his site boundary and absolutely minimized exterior
wall into glass, making the viewer's perception to regard edge of the pond as a continuation of ocean.
In Stone Museum (2000) project, he experimented with the stone. The attempt was to make heavy and
self-assertive stone to appear light and multivalent. The stone was cut less than 1 inch thick and
5 feet long, more or less like wood louvers, and put side by side each other seamlessly. This somewhat
antithetical wall (to the existing load-bearing masonry wall) shed new light on how stone wall could
dissolve into the atmosphere.
Kuma's im-materialization continues in this book. His Lotus House (2005) shocked readership in the USA
when it first appeared in the Architectural Record. Checkerboard-patterned travertine was literally
hanging on an extremely thin stainless steel wire. It swayed by the breeze and cast incredible shadow by the light.
Kuma minces stone, shatters light, and grinds breeze.
This new publication, supported by Botond Bognar's essay, provides many recent projects of Kuma. Kuma is
also a prolific writer. His recent books, "Defeated Architecture" (2004) and "Kengo Kuma: A Natural Architecture"
(2008, this one should be really translated into English), are well melted into the new book.

Great Dissection of the Use of Materials
2011/5/27
形式:ペーパーバック|Amazonが確認した購入
Kengo Kuma has been focussing a lot in the materials and little details, and this book is quite perfect for details of his own discoveries and attempts to re-discover materials, use them differently and all. Really good images, close-ups and also whole projects. Overall, very much satisfied.
