Everybody knows Japanese architects have got it going on. While we marvel at their edifaces all the time, it is less comon to be able to peek behind the ‘walls’ into their prepatory processes. In recent flea market rummaging I scored Drawings by Contemporary Japanese Architects, comprising diverse 2D work from 87 vivionary architects. Many represent purely fantastical renderings or projects which were abandoned before construction. The book was published in ‘82, way back before 3D design software took over from architects properly cultivating hand-drawing skills.
