Itsuko Hasegawa. Shonandai - Exposing the World - Everything Without Content 242

This book focuses solely on the Shonandai cultural centre, the first major public project of Itsuko Hasegawa. It is the unlikely successor to the previous books we made on the works of Aldo and Hannie Van Eyck and Giancarlo de Carlo. Shonandai belongs to a different time -1980s- and a different place -Japan- but it shares the desire of the earlier generations to 'overcome' modernism. Hasegawa achieves this most outlandish way, possible perhaps only in Japan in the 1980s. This is where the 1960s techno-avant-garde comes full circle. The building is presented with photographs by Stefano Graziani, as well as technical drawings. This book is part of the Everything without Content series by Kersten Geers, Jelena Pancevac and Joris Kritis. Are you participating again?Photograph: Stefano Graziani.
