From the publisher: The magazine turns its focus on the Japanese architecture powerhouse duo of Kazuyo Sejima and Ryue Nishizawa in this installment, examining both their collaborative and individual work over the past five years. Accompanying its selection of fifteen featured projects is a text by architect Maki Onishi and a conversation between her and the founding partners of SANAA. Notable recent works include the new Hitachi City Hall and Naoshima Port in Honmura (SANAA), Sumida Hokusai Museum, and a new library at Japan Women’s University (Sejima), and Jining Art Museum, an office building, and six private residences (Nishizawa).

SANAA Houses Book

SANAA Houses: Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa

Publisher: Actar/Musac

Both finished SANAA’s housing projects (House A, S House, House in a Plum Grove, Small House and Moriyama House), and unfinished projects (Flower House, Garden & House, Seijo Apartments, Ichikawa Apartments, House in China and Eda Apartments). SANAA’s architecture embraces complexities within deceptively simple appearances. It has many elements that are impossible to understand unless actually experienced. In contrast with modern architecture, SANAA has many aspects that cannot be revealed in representative media, such as plans, models, and photographs. The representations of their architectural works incorporate ambiguity and chronological elements. This characteristic makes Sanaa one of the most innovative offices in the current architectural panorama.
