Description
An exquisite tribute to Nordic architecture through the eyes of an acclaimed Japanese architect and his students
In his ongoing research into how different usages of windows influence their design, Japanese architect Yoshiharu Tsukamoto (born 1965) traveled to Denmark, Sweden and Finland. The result of his fieldwork is The Nordic Window: the first ever publication on the topic. Here, Tsukamoto and his students at the Tokyo Institute of Technology analyze a long list of canonical projects from the Nordic architectural tradition through beautiful photographs and elaborate blueprint-like drawings. Their approach emphasizes both the physical elements of the window, but also the more ephemeral aspects such as behavior and atmosphere. This book is a study into how the design of windows is shaped by different cultures and social contexts. The fascination and tenderness shines through the text, presenting a thorough perspective on a seldom-studied facet of vernacular architecture.
