Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Folio, 94pp. Vinyl boards in printed card slipcase. Poster laid in. Colour and Black & White plates. Text in English and Japanese. Tomic work by Kurokawa published in the same year as Osaka expo '70. Kurokawa pioneered the theory of metabolic architecture, where a city can be seen as a living, breathing entity that behaves like a living organism and requires architecture to reflect it's states of evolution and flux. Kurokawa exemplified his theories in Capsule- the pavillion he designed for expo 70, which is detailed here along with domestic work, seattle civic centre, town plans and offices. Echoes similar theories to some of Archigram's work, though Kurokawa's work was actually built- and also pre-empts ideas later used in the back to land movement and geodesic architecture.

Rilegato. Zustand: ottimo. prima edizione. "Capsule, metabolism, spaceframe, metamorphose by Kisho Kurokawa (other title Kisho Kurokawa: his work), was published by Bijitshu Shopansha, Tokyo, in 1970, the same year as Expo 70 in Osaka. Primarily a visual scrapbook with a mix of Western Victorian-style graphics with traditional Japanese imagery and text, the book consists of images that show the construction of the pavilions at the Expo, as well as drawings and photographs of models that illustrate the use of prefabricated parts and a space frame. The book, which measures 27 cm x 37 cm, came with a large folded poster (see image) as well as a 7 inch vinyl record entitled Music for living space . The record can be listened on youtube. As well as documenting the pavilions at Expo 70, the book includes some of Kurokawa s earlier work such as designs for flats and other housing, the Seattle Civic Center Fountain competition of 1961, office buildings, town planning schemes and hotels. As the elements of architecture are related to the human body, they are also interlinked with the biological concept, the idea that architecture and cities can behave like living organisms. Kisho Kurokawa was one of the founders of the Japanese Metabolist Movement in 1960. Metabolism expressed the idea that the city is an organism with different areas of growth, so architecture had to change and be flexible." cm 27x37; pp. 94; hardcover in a printed case. A woderful and rare items of a seminal japanese architect. Vynil record and poster in perfect shape, absolutely fine condition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 14535
