Description

Beyond the Bubble looks at two contrasting but equally extraordinary phases in the recent history of Japanese architecture: first, the explosive 'Bubble' era of the 1980s and early 1990s, and second, the post-'Bubble' era which leads up to the present day.

The book is divided into two sections: 'The Bubble Years: The Epitome of Japanese Postmodernism'; and 'After the Bubble: New Realities, New Priorities'. In the first section, architectural projects produced during the 1990s are discussed and illustrated in the general text, while in the latter part of the book more recent projects, mainly from the 21st century, are introduced on an individual basis, with plans, drawings and photos, along with detailed project descriptions. The book handles the whole spectrum of cultural detail to explore Japan's extraordinary architectural life.
