A definitive portfolio of architect Kazunari Sakamoto, covering 50 years of works.
In addition to plentiful visual components, such as photos and drawings, this book contains detailed interpretations of individual works, and occasionally Sakamoto's words and other people's comments from various times, in order to reveal the real image of Sakamoto's architectural works.
Sakamoto's architectural works cannot be expressed with photos from one perspective.
Every part of the work is established by sympathizing with other parts, an entire building, or a world beyond the site. Many different elements coexist while having a variety of relationships. This could be said to be the very architectural world of Kazunari Sakamoto.
The book composition is in line with the way of Sakamoto's architectural works.
Vivid recent photos of his masterpieces, "House SA" and "Uto City Amitsu Elementary School", taken for this book, are included at the beginning and end of the book. This is a most-have book for knowing the architectural works of Sakamoto, including a list of works (including incomplete works), and media coverage.
