Kisho Kurokawa. Museums

Kisho Kurokawa is a deeply attentive interpreter of museum architecture, who has always posed the problem of how a "container" is directly related to the nature of "contents" whose meanings have gradually developed and transformed from the latter half of the 20th century onwards. This book traces the research and experimentation of this great Japanese master, in which technical wizardry stands alongside a scientific vision of design to create organic interaction resulting in a deeply humanistic notion of architecture. The numerous museums designed or constructed by Kurokawa illustrated here provide a clear picture of the style and conceptual vision that have made him one of the leading figures on the modern-day cultural scene
