Résumé:
Un panorama d'une centaine de maisons illustrant huit décennies de création architecturale au Japon, conçues par 75 architectes ou agences. La sélection permet de découvrir l'évolution des styles, associant originalité et tradition, et des matériaux. Associant créativité et tradition, les maisons d’architecte construites au Japon depuis 1945 sont parmi les plus insolites et les plus fascinantes au monde. Soumis après-guerre à de strictes contraintes légales et spatiales, les architectes nippons n’ont en effet pas eu d’autre choix, pour répondre aux exigences du mode d’habiter japonais, que d’explorer et d’expérimenter des solutions extrêmes. Le résultat est cette architecture unique, déroutante et inspirante signée de nombreux architectes comme Tadao Ando, Kenzo Tange, Shigeru Ban ou Kengo Kuma, dont l’audace moderne, si ce n’est futuriste, est portée par une culture millénaire.

Through insightful text, superb photographs and detailed drawings, The Contemporary Tea House introduces each architects philosophy and creative concerns, as well as the artistic techniques behind their constructions in materials ranging from wood and titanium to concrete, stone, and paper.

Résumé:
The former missile station in the Hombroich cultural area is the site for another outstanding architectural project that blends harmoniously with its environment. Tadao Ando sees this as an experience that uses a combination of simple building materials, glass and concrete, to create a dialogue between building and nature. Viktor and Marianne Langen’s life work forms the basis for this new art house, which Japanese architect Tadao Ando was contracted to design. It will be completed in the spring of 2004. The first exhibition will be dedicated to a selection of the Langen collection of modern and Japanese art. The Langen Foundation aims in future to stimulate unusual meetings between art and its surrounding architecture. Tadao Ando’s architecture, a built space as an independent sculpture, and the presentation of the art inside it create the possibility of interactive experiences.
