Dieses faszinierende Buch betrachtet die lange Zeit unentdeckten Parallelitäten zwischen der traditionellen Architektur Chinas und Japans und den Bauten von Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Werner Blaser und Johannes Malms zeigen anhand zahlreicher eindrucksvoller Fotografien und mit klugen Essays die konstruktiven Übereinstimmungen und grenzüberschreitenden Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen der westlich-modernen und der östlich-traditionellen Bauweise. »Ein Buch voll von Anregungen, und mit dem Tonreichtum seiner Schwarzweißbilder auch ein Buch der fotografischen Stille.« Die Furche »Gesamtwertung: sehr zu empfehlen.« Berliner Empfehlungen Ökologie & Lernen
