Ryue Nishizawa / Sanaa
Following the example of music publication, Source Books in Architecture offers an alternative to the traditional architectural monograph. If one is interested in hearing music, he or she simply buys the desired recording. If, however, one wishes to study a particular piece in greater depth, it is possible to purchase the score--the written code that more clearly elucidates the structure, organization, and creative process that brings the work into being. This series is offered in the same spirit. Each Source Book focuses on the work of a particular architect or on a special topic in contemporary architecture and is meant to expose the foundations and details of the work in question. The work is documented through early studies, models, renderings, working drawings, writings, and photographs at a level of detail that allows complete and careful study of a project from conception to completion. The graphic component is accompanied by commentary from the architect and critics that further explore the technical and cultural content of the work.

Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo
The book reconsiders the theme of living in a city by exploring new approaches that reveal a different way of integrating projects into the existing city. Due to their scale, extensive built environment, and efforts to grow the city from within, London and Tokyo face similar urban development issues but occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions. The housing projects of Nishizawa and Taylor show how inhabitants can live in a house, and, at the same time, enlarge the scale of their living to the neighbourhood and the city. They introduce, within the specificity of their cultures and phil...

Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa
Despite an age difference of ten years, the Japanese architects Kazuyo Sejima (b. 1956) and Ryue Nishizawa (b. 1966) have developed an equal partnership that has projected them into the architectural limelight since founding their Tokyo-based firm SANAA in 1995. Renowned worldwide for such high-visibility commercial work as Tokyo's translucent Christian Dior Omotesando Building and cultural landmarks like the circular 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art in Kanazawa, the partners of SANAA are currently among the world's most innovative--and thought-provoking--architects, winning the 2004 Venice Biennale's Golden Lion award for their remarkable work as well as the high-profile commission for the New Museum of Contemporary Art, now under construction in New York City.
Casa SANAA (Spanish Edition)
Sanaa’s housing projects, both finished (House A, S House, House in a Plum Grove, Small House and Moriyama House), and unfinished projects (Flower House, Garden & House, Seijo Apartments, Ichikawa Apartments, House in China and Eda Apartments). SANAA's architecture embraces complexities within deceptively simple appearances. It has many elements that are impossible to understand unless actually “experienced”. In contrast with modern architecture, SANAA has many aspects that cannot be revealed in “representative” media such as plans, models, and photographs. The “representations” of their architectural works incorporate ambiguity and chronological elements. This characteristic makes Sanaa one of the most innovative offices in the current architectural panorama.
Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa, Sanaa
Lo studio SANAA si contraddistingue per il suo originale approccio al progetto: ogni edificio è elaborato come una sorta di equivalente del diagramma spaziale astratto delle attività quotidiane che è destinato a ospitare. L'uso di volumi elementari, geometrie semplici, materiali traslucidi e involucri in policarbonato contribuisce a un'architettura rarefatta di sconcertante attualità. Fra i suoi lavori ricordiamo: il Saishunkan Seiyaku Women's Dormitory (Kumamoto, 1991), il Multimedia Workshop (Kitakata, 1996), la S-House (Okayama, 1996), il K-Building (Ibaraki, 1997), il Gifu Kitagata Apartment (Gifu, 1998), l'O-Museum (Nagano, 1999), la Small House (Tokyo, 2000). Negli ultimi anni ha progettato e realizzato edifici per Prada, Issey Miyake e Christian Dior. Il volume affianca la mostra monografica che, dopo il Museo di Kanazawa, è ospitata alla Basilica Palladiana di Vicenza a partire dal mese di ottobre. La mostra è organizzata da Abaco Architettura.
