Exhibition Catalog
Japanese Pavilion, 17th International Architecture Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, Venice, 2020. Published by Toto Shuppan, Tokyo.
208 pp. Well illustrated (chiefly col.). 22 x 17 cm. Bilingual in English and Japanese. Paperbound.
ISBN 9784887063860
A wooden Japanese house slated for demolition will instead be moved to Venice for exhibition. Yet the house put on display will not appear in its original form. Dismantled for shipping, it will be reassembled on-site in new configurations created by architects and artisans from Japan, who will add new or local materials and other elements in the process. In other words, the exhibition of the house will be a fantastical installation that combines old and new in a composite of creative efforts by multiple designers and craftsmen. This book, edited by architect Kozo Kadowaki, explores the project in detail.
