In this chunky, silvery book, they meticulously illustrate the creative process that led to the realization of \"a house and a plaza,\" a tall and narrow kaleidoscope-like structure that houses a two-story retail space and multiple levels of offices, backed by an outdoor space for the public--a rarity in crowded Tokyo. The finished structure, encased in a visually porous shell or skin, is as decorative as it is architectural--or as architectural as it is decorative--and is both metaphorically and literally linked to its surrounding environment, and to the idea of the garment. Here is the story of a theoretically and structurally complex building told lovingly and simply by its architects, through words, models, sketches, photographs and architectural renderings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fondazione Prada","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47999825477783,"sku":"9788887029260","price":7964.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9788887029260.webp?v=1783601857","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/prada-aoyama-tokyo-with-32-page-booklet-in-japanese-9788887029260","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
