Add to wish list

Make Do With Now - Alternative Trends in Japanese Architecture. Make Do With Now presents a new view of Japanese architecture and introduces a young, as yet little known generation of architects and designers. These are demanding a sincere engagement with social, economic and ecological problems under the influence of, among other things, the experience of the Tohoku earthquake and the Fukushima nuclear disaster in 2011. Their creative handling of limited resources, found materials and existing building stock helps them in their search for responses to the urgent issues confronting us today.

By means of written contributions and photographic essays the publication provides insight into more than twenty current projects and takes a closer look at five architecture practices. This gives readers a multifaceted impression of the innovative concepts which are driving architecture in Japan today.

With projects by Fuminori Nousaku & Mio Tsuneyama, tomito architecture, dot architects and others.

Reviews

Im Großen und Ganzen überzeugt diese Publikation jedoch — besonders inhaltlich. Wer sich ein Bild über innovative zeitgenössische und vor allen Dingen junge Architektur in Japan machen will, dem sei dieses Buch empfohlen.  (Ramona Kraxner, NXT A, 14.02.2023)

Vorgefundene Materialien und Räume neu zu nutzen, das Bauen im Bestand und die Partizipation der Nutzer und Nachbarn passen gut in den Zeitgeist, der ganz auf ökologische und soziale Kreisläufe ausgerichtet ist. (Ulf Meyer, NZZ, 27.12.2022)

Ein aufschlussreicher Blick auf eine Sub-Szene der Architektur als «arte povera» - ein harscher RealityCheck im fernöstlichen Schlaraffenland der Baukultur, der allen Klischees über Japans Architektur widerspricht. (Ulf Meyer, NZZ, 27.12.2022)
