A journey to Japan where chance is the standard
Vlees & Beton # 56-57
ISBN: 9789076714103
(PB - E)

In May and June 2000, Belgian architecture critic Geert Bekaert travelled to Japan. Although the initiative for the journey was taken by Belgian and Dutch fabricants of concrete, the resulting travel story by Bekaert is a both poetic and clear report on what it means to visit the country of Japan as a Western citizen. Focusing on contemporary architecture, but never neglecting the wider culture and history, this elegant, moving and insightful text is both a surprising revelation for those who know Japan, and an accessible introduction for those who wish to know it. The book is illustrated with hundreds of original photographs.
