Biennale Architettura 2018: Japan Pavilion- Architectural Ethnography/

Biennale Architettura 2018: Japan Pavilion- Architectural Ethnography/ Momoyo Kaijima, Laurent Stalder, Yu Iseki - Japan Foundation; Ishibashi Foundation; YKK AP; 2018 - 200p; 21x16cm - La Biennale de Venezia: International Architecture Exhibition #16 .

Modernisation in the 20th century has deeply transformed Japanese society, bringing economic wealth and social well-being, but also increasing divisions and specialisation in society. This transformation has been increasingly questioned in recent years, and finds expression in architectural projects. The catalogue for the Japanese Pavilion at the Venice Architecture Biennale, curated by Momoyo Kaijima, one of the founders of Atelier Bow-Wow, this volume examines the role of architectural drawings in this reappraisal, as they form the basis on which a common approach in the design of individualised yet shared environments in todays globalised society can be formulated. It proposes architectural ethnography as a methodology of social engagement.
