Japan Architect 73 - Renovation: Beyond Metabolism - Driven by an interest in the pressing relationship between the environment and architecture, Japan Architect has gathered together a timely and fascinating collection of architecturally noteworthy renovations. The majority of the twelve projects featured here have been realised in Japan, yet nevertheless provide a wealth of ideas and solutions for adapting existing buildings to meet current (environmental) needs. Accompanied by essays, plans, elevations, diagrams and photographs, this edition includes such projects as NEXT 21 by Osaka Gas NEXT21 Committee; the Taisei Technology Center Renovation; the Benesse Art Site Naoshima Office/Honmura Lounge & Archive by Ryue Nishizawa; and, Junya Ishigami’s project for Yohji Yamamoto in New York.
