| Description: |
Focuses on the work of the Japanese structural engineer, Mutsuro Sasaki, and in particular his collaboration with architects Toyo Ito and Arata Isozaki. This book details four projects: Island City Central Park, Kakamigahara Crematorium, Qatar Education City Convention Centre, and Florence New Station. |
| Synopsis: |
What Sasaki proposes in his projects is nothing less than an engineering revolution - an overturning of traditional empirical methods in favour of new kinds of shape analysis that use the principles of evolution and self-organisation of living creatures, adapted from an engineering standpoint, to generate rational structural shapes with a computer. The resulting architecture flows and melts in structural terms - it is 'flux structure'. This publication describes the morphogenesis of the concept of flux structure through four projects - Island City Central Park and Kakamigahara Crematorium (with Toyo Ito) and Qatar Education City Convention Centre and Florence New Station (with Arata Isozaki). |
