Vanishing Japan: Modern Architecture, Gone But Not Forgotten [9780500028285]

Overview

{"p":[{"em":"Vanishing Japan"},"The book focuses on some ninety buildings demolished since 2000, while the introduction, afterword, and “deep dive” interludes provide additional context. The project selection features beloved theaters, shopping centers, and offices built between the 1950s and 1970s, with select examples from the ’80s and ’90s as well. While many of these buildings were in Tokyo and Osaka, the book draws on examples from all over the country, charting the once recognizable local landmarks that continue to inspire as examples of architectural innovation.","High real-estate values, engineering improvements amid frequent earthquakes, and maintenance costs are just a few of the reasons that buildings are regularly torn down in Japan. All these and more are explored in this insightful, accessible book that will have readers look at their own built environment in a different light."]}
