Architecture has been facing to a major turning point in the 21st century, as the myth of economic growth collapsed, and a return to urban areas and regional revitalization are proceeding simultaneously. Based in Hamamatsu City in Shizuoka Prefecture, 403architecture [dajiba] initiated its activities in 2011, and completed 50 projects in about six years. They highlight new architectural values in each project with different sites/programs/clients, by identifying properties of "Converting Materials", "Applying What Is There", "Deviating From Convention", "New/old Hybrids", "Making Spaces Equivalent", and "Repeating Units." These six "tags" represent multilayered values that are desired for future architecture. They also indicate abundant connections with the creation history of architecture. This book includes an analysis of works based on the six tags, historical interpretation of the six tags, and a discussion of revolutions by century in architectural activities through an Email interview with the British architects group "Assemble." What kind of spirit should architecture accompany in the future~ One model is shown in this book.
Bilingual in English and Japanese.
