Characterised by its immaterial quality and lightness, the architecture of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa blurs its forms redefining the limits between the real and the virtual, between construction and nature.
This second volume in the AV Monografías series devoted to SANAA covers the production of the Japanese architects from the year 2007 until 2015, including striking structures like the Rolex Center in Lausanne or the Louvre in Lens, or subtle ones like the Inujima Art Pavilions or the Teshima Museum. The expansion of the three offices and the Pritzker Prize they received in 2010 have by no means made them lose the radical approach that defines their work and thought, reflected in the two introductory essays.
