Ein hauch von zen

Positionen zeitgenössischer japanischer Architektur

Sorgsam gepflegte Gärten, genau durchdachte Raumkonzepte, die charakteristischen Schiebewände und warme Naturbaustoffe in Kombination mit modernsten Materialien : Japanische Wohnhäuser sind Refugien der Ruhe, erbaut im Geiste des östlichen Minimalismus, der Reduktion auf das Wesentliche. Dieser reich illustrierte Band zeigt traditionelle Architektur Seite an Seite mit ultramodernen Wohnbauten, die überlieferte Bauformen und -techniken auf verblüffende und fantasievolle Weise neu interpretieren.
