Renowned post-war Japanese architect Kazuo Shinohara always placed great emphasis on the presentation of his works in magazines, enabling his efforts through various methods of expression: photography, commentary and analysis, and detailed diagrams. This special issue is dedicated to his works, wherein previously published materials are featured almost identically to the form in which they were initially presented in both ‘JA’ and ‘Shinkenchiku’ magazines. Including more than 50 works and projects, from private houses to public buildings and urban visions, plus an essay by architect Shin-ichi Okuyama, it is an authoritative and complete overview of his career.
