Summary:
Kengo Kuma's ''Architecture of defeat,'' now available in English for the first time, explores events and architectural trends in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries in both Japan and beyond. It brings together a collection of essays which Kuma wrote after disasters such as the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on 9/11 and the earthquake and tsunami that obliterated much of the built landscape on Japan’s northern shore in a matter of minutes in 2011. Asking if we have been building in a manner that is too self-confident or arrogant, he examines architecture’s intrinsic- and often problematic- relationship to the powerful forces of contemporary politics, economics, consumerism, and technology, as well as its vital ties to society.

Kengo Kuma is known for achieving a new kind of transparency in architecture, and is not bound by using only traditional light materials. Included is his essay, Small Architecture, which gives valuable insight into his view that great disasters, not the progress of technology, have been architectures driving force throughout history, with the most recent example being the Great East Japan Earthquake in 2011.

Il n’y a pas d’opposition entre le dedans et le dehors. Tout est affaire de gradation, de superpositions, de syntonie. À l’opposé de l’architecture occidentale pour qui la monumentalité est l’aboutissement. En huit chapitres, huit matériaux, huit réalisations emblématiques, cet architecte radical nous entraîne dans de nouvelles voies de respect de la nature. Ce livre est à la fois, un livre d’histoire subjective de l’architecture, un manuel d’application pratique et le portrait d’un architecte épris de nature.
