Providing a comprehensive overview of the work of the celebrated Japanese practice SANAA and the two architects driving it, this sizeable volume combines three, until now out-of-print numbers, in one edition. Thoroughly illustrated - with full page photographs, plans, details and explanatory texts - a total of 59 works and projects are examined. Everything from residential designs, such as the ‘Y’ house and ‘House in a Plum Grove,’ to museums and commercial projects, such as the ‘N’ Museum in Nakachi, and the ‘Christian Dior’ building, Omotesando, are included, along with competition entries and unrealized buildings.
