Shuhei Endo Paramodern Architecture

Japanese architect Shuhei Endo can be defined as an architect of steel, since he distinctly favors this material in his buildings and continually experiments with its design possibilities. His "Rooftecture" works give the impression of weightlessness, with undulating sheets of steel twisted into spirals and wrapped around buildings in overlapping layers like petals of flowers, or arranged on different levels to create a membrane around open spaces. This monograph, illustrated with drawings and color photos throughout, surveys this approach in such examples as the "great roofs" over the Rooftecture N office building in Nisinomiya, Hyogo; the spaces for relaxation and meetings in Rooftecture T (Fukui); and private homes like Springtecture H (Harima) and Rooftecture M (Maruoka). ‘’Shuhei Endo: Paramodern Mimari’’ Japon mimar Shuhei Endo bir çelik mimarı olarak tarif edilir.
