Review
"The countless full-page photographs are of such breathtaking power that they leave one gasping for air." -- The Architectural Review
Product Description
This fascinating work looks at the traditional architecture of China and Japan and the structures of Mies van der Rohe, one of the great masters of Modernism, uncovering the extraordinary parallels between them. Richly illustrated with impressive photographs, the book shows how architectonic wisdom and sensitivity can transcend borders, creating an architecture of harmony.
