A book featuring recent projects by architects and interior designers who have been drawing attention not only in Japan, but internationally. Masaaki Takahashi has selected 21 of Japan's top architects and designers, presenting their most recognised and latest work to demonstrate their individuality and style. Young, promising architects and designers are also featured, including a handful not born in Japan, but who have made Japan their home. Takahashi asks each designer questions about their design philosophy, with a particular emphasis on why they became designers and architects. This unique book features striking visual layouts, and information that should appeal to anyone with an interest in the fusion of architecture and interior design in the world today.
