One of the greatest and most influential architects of Japan’s postwar generation, Kazuo Shinohara (1925–2006) has remained virtually unknown outside the small community of devoted followers. As one of the leaders of architectural movement Metabolism, Shinohara achieved cult-figure stature with sublimely beautiful, purist houses that break away from Japan’s postwar suburban architecture. Perhaps the most iconic of Shinohara’s works, House of White (1964–66) rearranges a familiar design palette—a square plan, a pointed roof, white walls, and a symbolic heart pillar—to give the almost oceanic spaciousness through abstraction. The underlying formalism in Shinohara’s architecture—its basic explorations of geometry and color—lend his work a poetic quality that fuses simplicity and surprise, the ordered and the unexpected.This volume brings together new scholarship from the foremost specialists on Shinohara and Japan’s modern architecture. New perspectives and historical frameworks range from the development of the small house as a building type in postwar Japan to Shinohara’s engagement with French critical theory. Hitherto unpublished archival drawings and personal travel photographs by Shinohara complement the essays.

Pendant les années soixantes en France, un groupe d'architectes, artistes, écrivains, théoriciens et critiques d'avant-garde ont envisagé toute une série de cités futuristes, d'utopies urbaines. Dans ce nouveau monde, la technologie et l'automatisation sont des forces positives pourvoyant besoins matériels aussi bien que du temps et de l'espace pour les loisirs. Dans ce livre, l'auteur analyse les projets par artiste et par architecte et explore les textes de Michel Ragon, Vasarely, le fondateur du Giap (groupe internationald'architecture prospective)

Metabolism, the Japanese architectural avant-garde movement of the 1960s, profoundly influenced contemporary architecture and urbanism. This book focuses on the Metabolists' utopian concept of the city and investigates the design and political implications of their visionary planning in the postwar society. At the root of the group's urban utopias was a particular biotechical notion of the city as an organic process. It stood in opposition to the Modernist view of city design and led to such radical design concepts as marine civilization and artificial terrains, which embodied the metabolis
