Shinohara Kazuo

Shinohara Kazuo is 'a key figure who explicitly rejected Western influences yet appears on almost every branch of the family tree of contemporary Japanese architecture.' Commemorating the centenary of architect Kazuo's birth, this volume reprints his self-edited 1996 collection of architectural projects, which earned a special award at the 38th Mainichi Art Awards. The book presents 55 projects, including unbuilt works, accompanied by a new essay written for this 2025 edition.
