Title
Some Ideas on Living in London and Tokyo,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The book reconsiders the theme of living in a city by exploring new approaches that reveal a different way of integrating projects into the existing city. Due to their scale, extensive built environment, and efforts to grow the city from within, London and Tokyo face similar urban development issues but occupy cultural contexts in which themes of proximity, privacy, community, and public space take on different meanings and require distinct solutions. The housing projects of Nishizawa and Taylor show how inhabitants can live in a house, and, at the same time, enlarge the scale of their living to the neighbourhood and the city. They introduce, within the specificity of their cultures and philosophies, the idea that a housing project is a way of contributing to the atmosphere, the character and the life of the city.The book contains statements by Nishizawa and Taylor framing their approaches and ideas, accompanied by images and explanation of their projects and a discussion between them, as well as essays by Giovanna Borasi focusing on the relevance of this topic today, and by Peter Allison framing the architects approaches in a historical perspective and within the two cultures and a preface by Mirko Zardini.Cet ouvrage considre le vivre en milieu urbain en explorant de nouvelles approches pour intgrer des projets de construction dhabitations au sein de la ville existante. Tokyo et Londres sont confrontes des problmes de dveloppement comparables, tant donn leur taille, leur urbanisation excessive et leurs efforts pour se dvelopper au coeur mme de la ville. Toutefois, les contextes culturels sont diffrents, les notions de voisinage, lespace priv et public, la collectivit nont pas la mme signification et requirent des solutions diffrencies.Les projets des deux architectes japonais et britannique Ryue Nishizawa et Stephen Taylor montrent comment des habitants peuvent vivre dans leur maison, tout en largissant leur espace de vie lchelle de leur environnement immdiat et de la ville. Nishizawa et Taylor, chacun avec ses spcificits culturelles et philosophiques, indiquent comment un projet dhabitation peut contribuer latmosphre, au caractre et la vie de la ville. Ils dveloppent leur dmarche et leurs ides au cours dun dialogue et dans de courtes dclarations, accompagnes par des photos et des explications sur leurs projets. Giovanna Borasi constate la pertinence du sujet pour notre poque dans un essai clairant, et Peter Allison met en perspective historique et culturelle la dmarche des deux architectes.
