Krátky popis
A visual celebration and record in duotone of Japan's demolished
post-war architectural gems and a look at why they've been torn
down.As in other countries, not every mid-century modern building
in Japan can or even deserves to be saved. Yet a swathe of these
works – those that achieved new architectural milestones and those
that became landmarks in the public eye – warrant international
attention. Vanishing Japan is the first book to shine a light on
these gems, becoming an important record of buildings that have
already been lost and making their memory available to a wide,
global audience.The book focuses on some ninety buildings
demolished since 2000, while the introduction, afterword and 'deep
dive' interludes provide additional context. The project selection
features beloved theatres, shopping centres and offices built
between the 1950s and 1970s, with select examples from the 1980s
and 1990s as well. While many of these buildings were in Tokyo and
Osaka, the book draws on examples from all over the country,
charting the once recognizable local landmarks that continue to
inspire as examples of architectural innovation.High real-estate
values, cost and improvements to construction techniques in a
country plagued by earthquakes are just some of the reasons that
buildings regularly get torn down in Japan. This and more is
explored in this smart, accessible book designed in elegant duotone
that will have readers look at their own built environment in a
different light.
