Junya Ishigami: How small? How vast? How architecture grows [in conjunction with the Exhibition "Junya Ishigami. How Small? How Vast? How Architecture Grows", Arc en Rêve Centre d'Architecture Bordeaux, December 11, 2013 - April 27, 2014 ; Shiseido Galle

Hatje Cantz, 2014. — 46 p. — ISBN-10: 3775737944. — ISBN-13: 978-3775737944 For Junya Ishigami (born 1974), architecture is a field of infinite possibilities that affect every area of life, raising existential questions and requiring both scientific and artistic observation. Here, the Japanese architect demonstrates what an environment that bases social life on organic principles might look like. Besides childhood fantasies and the power of imagination, the winner of the Golden Lion at the 2010 Venice Biennale of Architecture is also inspired by nature. At the same time, his work process is strictly methodical and oriented toward expanding the existing boundaries between design, architecture, and geography. The aesthetics of concentration, the transparency, and the simplicity of his ideas, models, and buildings are based on complex creative processes. Ishigami presents his holistic search for the right proportions in an exclusive publication: How Small? How Vast? How Architecture Grows.
