Book Launch "Japanese Perspectives"
“Japanese Perspectives” explores architectural responses to resource scarcity, demographic change, and climate adaptation through the lens of contemporary Japan.
Bringing together essays by Japanese architects, selected projects and observations from everyday urban life, the book examines practices of reuse, transformation, and working with existing structures.
The contributions reveal an architectural culture in which tradition and innovation, continuity and change, are continuously negotiated—inviting a reconsideration of architecture as a cultural practice of adaptation and renewal.
