Produktbeschreibung
Published on the occasion of the 15th Venice Architecture Biennale, this book offers an in-depth look at the exhibition of the Japanese Pavilion. Rather than attempt to formulate a vehicle that intends to convey some overarching narrative or slogan, it instead examines a variety of aspects related to individual struggles in the engagement with conditions and issues that we are confronting today. Though this fight may be in its infancy, the group of works presented in the exhibition has the latent potential to serve as a basis for social change. It takes the Japanese character ‘en’ as its basis, the meaning of which can shift between “fortuitous encounters” and “edge” or “margin”.
